Lane university has been haying a legal rumpus, in which the poor students have been hindered from attending chapel. How sad the dear students of Kansas State university would feel if they were denied the privilege of going to chapel exercises.
Everybody seems to be too busy this year at the University to work up a fight. Even the college newspapers slumber peacefully, and the volcano of amateur editorial wrath finds nothing to consume, except the delinquent subscriber, whom, like the poor, we have always with us.
The Y. M. C. A. of the university has been reorganized with the following officers: President, E. L. Ackley; Corresponding Secretary, C. P. Chapman; J. S. Hunter, Recordings Secretary. The meetings are held every Friday evening at 7:15, in room No. 11. All students ar1 invited to attend.
"Church going doesn't seem to afflict our students very bad this year," says some one. Doesn't ch? Just wait till they finish the new Methodist church and see if the students don't turn out. That's the way they did for the Congregationalists last year, any how. You can generally bet on the average student attending a new church.
When is it going to stop, this club business? Why we have the Philological club, a new Art club, the Telegraph club, the Tennis club, the Foot Ball club, the Base Ball club, the Photograph club, the Science club, Orophillian, Atheneum, Palladium, and five or six boarding clubs. It is in order we suggest for the Jack of Clubs to bring in his report to the horseeditor. We are being clubbed to death!
The Base ballists of K.S. U. held a meeting in the law room Monday and elected the Hon. Abraham Levy manager, and John Davis captain of the nine. Charley Vooribr with the captain and manager from the committee who choose the members of nine. Davis is a good one, and Abe Levy is, well, "too numerous to mention" as it were; he is a rustler, and if he don't get up some first class games for us, we are fooled thats all.
The Telegraph club is getting into working shape for the year. Prof. Blake is the President, W. S. Franklin Secretary and Treasurer, and the directors are Prof. Black, ex-officio, H. W. Hayne, and J. M. Noble. Five new members have been elected, thus completing the limit. They are Ackley, Slosson. Moody, Penfield, Blaker. The club has assets to the amount of $300, and is one of the valuable practical adjuncts to the University.
The Tennis Tournament.
The courts were in fine condition Saturday and everything transpired to make the close of the tournament successful. A large number of spectators were present and the enjoyment of the day was enhanced by the fact that the Lawrence boys carried off the principal honors. In fact Lawrence is establishing a reputation as the tennis center of the State and as tennis and culture go together, this is only what might be expected. The first match in the morning was contested by Messrs. R. R. and J. P. Whitman and Haines and Green, of Fort Leavenworth. The Leavenworth boys finally won after some close playing by the following score: 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.
Neil Brooks then met A. F. Sherman, the winner in yesterday's singles and defeated him by the following score: 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. In the ladies' and gentlemen's doubles, J. P. Whitman and Miss Hattie Driesbach defeated A. A. Cheesman and Miss Delta Driesbach, after some close playing; Jus D. Bowersock and Miss Ruth Whitman defeated A. F. Sherman and Miss Susan Driesbach in two straight sets.
In the afternoon the most interesting play of the tourney occurred. Messrs. Canfield and Bowersock defeated Lieutenant Harris and Mr. Greene, by the close score of 5-7, 7-5, 8-6. This was the final doubles and gave the prizes, two "Sears" special rackets, to the Lawrence boys. This match was very exciting and was applauded liberally; the Leavenworth men were within one point of winning several times, but the "won" point never came, and consequently Lawrence keeps the prize.
Net. Brooks then met and defeated J. P. Whitman in the final singles by the score of 5.7, 6-1, 6-2. Mr. Whitman was completely tired out, and did not do himself justice in his work.
In the final Ladies' singles Ruth Whitman defeated Miss Hattie Driesback, 6-0, 6-1. Miss Whitman is a player of great promise and with good hard work will make the best of the gentlemen hustle. In the ladies' and gentlemen's doubles Jus D. Bowersock and Ruth Whitman defended J. P. Whitman and Miss Hattie Driesback, by the score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-0. This ended the tennis.

Do You Know
That Innes' Dress Goods Department is the talk of the town. Why not? When you can get the assortment he carries to choose from it makes life easy to select a dress pattern, and then the prices alone are more than an inducement for you to buy your new frock there.
Boys why pay 75 cents and $1.00 a garment for your winter underwear when Innes will furnish you the same goods for 50 and 75 cents. Try him and see for yourselves. He has other useful articles in your line at very low prices, and solicits your trade.

Boom the University Ball.
THE Beacon is the name of a new college paper published at Baker.
If you are interested in K. S. U's success in Athletics buy a ticket for the University Ball whether you want to go or not.
An eastern girls Fraternity is endeavoring to establish a chapter here and is corresponding with several non-fraternity young ladies for that purpose.
The State Oratorical contest of Illinois is held at Galesburg tonight. This again forcibly reminds us how late our own contest is held and how little time is given our representative in which to prepare himself.
That Man Platt.
If ever a man was pitied it was a man named Platt, introduced to the party of K. S. U. students in Estes Park last summer. Mr. Platt was a roodman, so our informant told us, on the B. & M. road in Nebraska. He was a remarkable man in more ways than one. He was endowed with as many lives as a cat and was more unfortunate in his ability to get into scrapes than Georgie Hackett or Peck's Bad Boy's Pa. In fact it was his ability to get into scrapes and to get killed that first brought Mr. Platt to our notice.
The first time we met Mr. Platt, or rather were made aware of his existence, for we never knew him in person, was one evening as we were seated around our camp fire telling stories. Things had gone from bad to worse for some time when R. E. H., who prided himself on being something or a liar himself, could stand it no longer, fearing his reputation might suffer if he did not do something to redeem himself, and for this purpose he created Platt, and from that time on the poor fellow was made to do duty on all occasions.
The first adventure Platt had was with a "grizzley." He was out hunting one day and while going through a woods he met a large specimen of the above mentioned animal and not knowing how tenacious of life a grizzly is, he concluded to show fight, took aim and fired. The bear on being fired at, turned and made for for Platt. Before the bear could reach him, Platt was able to fire twice more and then was compelled to use a knife. After a hard struggle the bear was killed but not until Platt himself was mortally wounded, he living only long enough to get back to camp and relate his experience. Of course we all felt a great deal of sympathy for Platt, especially as he was so warm a friend of H., and we all experienced a feeling of sadness the remainder of the evening.
We heard no more of Platt until two weeks later when a paper was received giving an account of several railroad employees being killed by a trestle falling with them. Platt was brought back to life again and made to do duty for another story. This time Platt was superintending the building of a trestle when he became involved in a quarrel with one of his men and coming to blows he was knocked off and his body crushed on the rocks below. While we all expressed our sympathy it was not quite as heartfelt as when Platt was killed before for we now had hopes that Platt might be endowed with a third life and would again be restored to us. And we were not mistaken, for only a few days afterward several of the boys had an exciting time in a thunder storm, while upon the Range and this again brought Platt to notice. This time, as will probably be anticipated, Platt met his death by being struck by lightning. Of course the account of the killing was told with all the embellishments that H.'s smooth flow of language
permitted of and was much more interesting than the bare recital of events, but so much was told that it is impossible to remember more than the incident itself. Platt met his death after that by drowning, in a cyclone, from a pistol shot during a strike and in a number of ways that have escaped my memory, but if any one wants a detailed account of all of them he can get it by applying to "Gric" who can relate them in a manner almost a interesting as H. himself.
SINCE the honorable title of sporting editor of the "Great Religious Weekly" was conferred upon me I have been compelled to hold my peace, which is one of the characteristics of a sporting editor, because of the lack of material about which to write. The proposed prize fight has been declared off; there are no foot races; the—ponies—are still under training, and hanging-parties are not of such frequent occurrence as they were last year. At last, however, there is something and this something it seems to me, should be of general interest.
The recent tennis tournament, a success in every way has awakened a new interest in that most pleasant of out-door sports. The base-ball club has just selected a manager and captain and is now ready for actual work. The above state of affairs has brought to my mind a scheme which I now present, as I think, at the most fitting time. The two tennis associations need courts which will be exclusively for their use; the ball club needs a diamond for its use; we all need a fitting place in which to hold our field day exercises. There is a spot which is available for its purpose and which combines all the desirable qualities for the several uses to which it may be put; this is the sort of natural ampitheatre just north of the University buildings. This is part of the campus, and as such could be put to no better use; is within a very short walk from the University; is in a sheltered locality, and by means of drainage, for which are presented admirable facilities, could be made and kept dry during the greater part of the season. The only thing lacking—the money to be expended in putting the ground—the proper shape, and for this purpose that I offer the following suggestion to the tennis-players, the base ball players, the athletes and to all having an interest is the advancement of K. S. U. in any direction. Let us have a University Ball and with the proceeds establish our out-door gymnasium. By this means we can have a gathering of the University; fraternity men and non-fraternity men, fraternity ladies are non-fraternity ladies. It would be a gathering such as we only have upon some such occasion as an oratorical contest, and even in that case we are usually lacking in one very essential feature, the ladies. Some of us will go to have a good time, some to help with our mites the athletic association of K.
S. U., and more, to do both these things. It seems to me that now is the time for something of this kind, and I believe the project once started would meet with general favor.
F. H. KELLOGG.
Since the above was written a committee has met for the purpose of the carrying out of this scheme. Members of the committee have been around among the students for expressions of opinion, and have found such general and wide spread interest manifested that the committee will take immediate steps and in a short time will make a full announcement giving date, place and price, and those selling tickets, etc. It is hoped by the committee that all students of K. S. U. will go, or if prevented from going by any reason will purchase a ticket anyway or make a donation or subscription of the price for the benefit of athletics in K. S. U.

ATHANEUM.
Athanewane Literary Society held its regular meeting last Friday evening. As it was the night for the election of officers, the regular literary exercises were dispensed with. The following officers were elected: President, D. H. Spencer; Vice President. C. H. Sears; Secretary, Miss Corbin; Treasurer, R. D. Brown; Musical Director, E. E. Ellison; Critic; Hervey White; Reporter, Paul Marrill; Executive Committee, Harry Parnes, E. B. McPherson and H. C. Riggs. A good program will be rendered this evening.
Y. M. & Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION The Y. M. & Y. W. C. Association of the University will give a reception to old and new students to-morrow evening at the rooms of the City Association A short but excellent program has been arranged including an address by Prof. Snow, music by the University Mandolin Club and others. All students and their friends are invited. The exercises will begin at 9 o'clock.
"Biographical Dictionary of the living local and national Poets of America, with interesting sketches, remeniscences and choice selections from each poet. The only complete biographical dictionary of all the local and national poets of America, containing numerous selections and names of poets that have never before appealed in priat, edited and compiled under the supervision of Thos. W. Herringshaw."
The above was taken from a circular which is being widely distributed through all parts of the United States. It will take more than $5,000 to carry out the design; but the editor of the same having received encouragement through the association of local authors in the United States will proceed to the completion of the design. What a chance to immortalize ones self! The poetical highs ef K. S. U. rises up and distinguish yourselves. The volume will contain a short biography of every poet with cuts of the many. When posterity in the shape of a Kansan shall glance the pages of this wonderful book, how proud she shall feel when she shall see the name of Canfield, Carruth, White and others of诗ological whose names shall emblazen and embellish its pages.

So modest an demur;

Or shaped the petals pure.

And like a silent prayer ascend
A-toward the vaunted skin-
In stillest eve when nature sleeps,
And Luna guards the true
The blushing rose with modest grace
Soft woose the laughing due.
And when the sun lifts gently back
The curtains of the night,

Of early morning light
The rose! the rose! how many joys

Tis like a bulm sent down from God
To cheer the ionely heart.

And with its fragrant breath
It cheers in sickness and in pain
And crowns the brow of death.

No thought of evil knowe.

Of beauty from the rose.
WHAT A GIRL THINKS.
"Bess" Gives Her Opinion on Various Topics.
What a crazy idea! This is a remark which attracted my attention one day last week, because directed to a girl of whose ideas I had entertained the highest opinion. Is it possible that a girl must be considered foolish because she evinces a taste for studies in the Natural History Department? Rather than that, it seems very strange to me that there have been so many girls take music and French, or art, instead of some of these other studies, and I think that if any one of us has an inclination, however, slight, toward Natural History, this inclination should be the guide power in the selection of studies. Is it not more profitable to spend our time in original work or personal investigation of the truths to be learned in the field of nature than to spend the same time in learning just enough music with which to entertain(?) company, or to evolve some creations in red, green and yellow, which may be shown to our admiring country relations, and evoke the question, "Bean't that one o' them 'ere Chromios?"
One of our fraternities is to give a party soon. This is a piece of of local news which might be hit upon by some reporter if he had his eyes about him. There are signs of a coming party as evident as the small boy playing marbles is a sign of spring. Here is a member of a fraternity who, for some reason, does not have the fortune, or misfortune, perhaps, of being always surrounded with a crowd of admirers. It is now whispered about that her frat, is to give a party in the near future and some few of the young gentlemen who do not consider themselves "solid" begin paying marked attention to her. Why do you attempt such a palpable fraud? Can not you imagine such a thing possible that we receive all the attention we want from you?
And if you would let us alone once we might feel inclined to invite you to our parties; but, no, you come in with your flattery and your fawning courtesies and so prevent us taking you in order to preserve our own feelings. Try letting us alone once and you may perhaps gain by it.
I saw a friend of mine walking down the hill with a young gentlemen who is being "extremely spiked" and attempting to influence him in favor of one fraternity, and I almost blushed for the lack of modesty. I call it this for I believe there is nothing done by any of us girls that is so entirely without our sphere as this rushing for any of the gentlemen's fraternities. The more sensible of the members of a fraternity do not want our help(ℓ); it is merely taking advantage of the politeness and gallantry which a gentleman always feels towards us, and if we so far violate the rules of good breeding ourselves, we ought not afterwards to expect other than similar treatment and we may be expected to take part in other just as unladylike things.

THE Washburn Reporter is set up and printed in its own printing office. The Reporter is one of the best college papers published in the West and the KANSAN congratulates it on its success in getting an office of its own.
THE Iowa Wesleyan has just heard of the joke at the expense of Ex-Chancellor Lippincott on the occasion that he was sent to Atchison to attend Senator Ingalls' funeral, and remarks that the "instigator ought to have free tuition the rest of his course."
We hope to see a great advance in University and in class spirit this year. Already the Sophomores have organized; the Juniors hope to have a picnic or party, or something, before the snow flies, and all together there seems to be a revival of interest at last in something besides factional fights. We are glad of this. Let us all pull together this year to advance the interest s of K. S. U. Old students to whom last year seemed one long wrangle and struggle between opposing factions in the University, find this change quite a relief, and new students are not forced to spend their first year at college in witnessing the not very elitifying spectacle of fraternity and factional quarrels, disputed organizations and general neglect of work for petty college fights.
The first meeting of this society was held in Prof. Canfield's room in the University last Friday evening. Prof. Canfield gave a talk setting forth the aims and methods of the club and the manner in which it is intended to pursue the work. After Prof. Canfield had finished his talk Prof. Blackmar made a short speech to the members of the club and visitors present. Col. Greca also made a short speech and a paper on administration and Law was read by Fred. Kellegg.
SEMINARY OF HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL SCIENCE.
The society starts off under the most favorable circumstances and promises to be one of the popular University Societies. The next meeting will be held next Friday evening.
The Remains of Miss Tella Chapman Laid to Kest.
IN PEACE.
The last rites over the remains of Miss Tella Chapman were observed at the Congregational church last Saturday afternoon by Rev. C. G. Howland, pastor of the Unitarian church. Miss Chapman was universally loved and esteemed by all who knew her and there were many tearful eyes in the audience as Dr. Howland delivered the sad and touching discourse. The Senior class and her Fraternity, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Kappa KappaGamma, Pi Beta Phi and Phi Delta Theta Fraternities attended the funeral as a body. The pall bearers were members of the Senior class and were W. R. Armstrong, Chas. McFarland, R. R. Whitman, Fred Stimpson, J. A. Mushrush and S. C. Brewster.
We, the members of the class of '90, having by the death of Miss Tella Dow Chapman lost one of our brightest and most cherished classmates, therefore, be it
The remains were interred in Oak Hill cemetery and were accompanied to the grave by a large concourse of weeping friends.
Resolved. Feat while 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 time of affliction.

Prof. Carruth gave a short but interesting talk before Orophillian last Friday evening, on the literary societies at Howard. He corrected the prevalent idea that as a college grows older and stronger the interest in the general literary societies decreases. Surely if Harvard with her centuries of growth still supports good literary societies, there is no reason why Kansas State University, with its few decades of existence should not do the same. This should be a matter of encouragement to those who are endeavoring so keep up the literary societies here.

Last Friday evening was marked by one of the pleasantest social events of the season, the occasion being the reception given by Phi Gamma Delta to their lady friends in their elegant hall in the Eldridge Houseblock. The evening was spent in dancing and other social diversions until the happy company became weared and repaired to Gnefkow's elegant parlors where sitting on the richly upholstered stools and dangling their feet, they discussed the following:
Sweetzer Cheese Cold Cucumber
HOT TOMALES
Wincerwurst One Oyster Stow Lincoln Ple
RAILROAD SANDWICHES
Clder Pretzels Moxie.
While partaking of this elegant spread the company was delightfully entertained by some vocal music by Bevins "Foxy" and others. Mr. Gnefkow is an excellent caterer and makes a specialty of supplying lunches for Fraternity parties.
The Estes' Park Reunion.
Friday evening last, the members of the K S. U. party that spent the summer in Estes' Park met at the home of Mrs. Jennie Sutliff on Tennessee street to talk over the many amusing and interesting things that happened in the mountains last summer. Each one had to take his turn and while laughing at some one else he could never be sure that he would not be the one to be laughed at next. An elegant supper was prepared and it was not long before it was thoroughly demonstrated that not one of the party had lost its appetite since returning from Colorado. It was only when some one would forget, that "Fire the gravy," "Shoot the sugar," and similar expressions would be heard and "Cap" Franklin would want more "starchy food" eaten but at these times the party would be reminded most forcibly that they had left their camp life behind. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Franklin, Miss Eva Brooks of Denver, Misses Allen, Franklin, Snow, Springer, Crotty, Helen and Jennie Sutliff, Prof. Snow, and Messrs. Brewster, Hadley, Snow, Willmoth, V. L. Kellogg, Craig, E. C. Franklin, Riggs, Funston and White.
Success of a University Boy. [Daily New Mexico.]
Mr. R. E. Twitchell, the gentleman who has been acting solicitor general during the past six months, will, by virtue of the appointment of a solicitor general by Governor Prince, soon retire as chief law officer of the territory. During his term of office he has performed the very important and laborious duties imposed upon him in a manner creditable to himself and satisfactory to the people of the entire territory. Mr. Twitchell is a man of pronounced ability, well grounded in the principles of the law and in every way equipped for his chosen profession. He has been the assistant attorney of the A. T. & S. F. railroad company ever since he came to New Mexico, and those who know him best bear witness to his devotion to the service of that corporation. Mr. Twitchell is a very fluent political speaker and is posted upon all the absorbing topics of interest to the people. Few of his friends are aware of his literary ability, and yet the territory to day has few men more versatile or who couch their thoughts in purer English. He still continues as district attorney, an office he will ably fill and one which is peculiarly suited to his tastes and qualifications. This young man has a bright future, both in his profession and in the territory. Young as he is, to-day he is a leader, not only in this county, but in the entire territory. It remains to be seen whether he will take advantage of the opportunities which Dame Fortune has scattered in his path.
Prof. Samuels.
Students should take advantage of the opportunity now presented of consulting one of the first oculists in the country. Prof. Samuels is stopping at the Eldridge House on the occasion of one of his annual visits to Lawrence. During the last ten years he has helped many people in this town and vicinity, and especially in the University. He refers students to Prof. F. H. Snow, several members of whose family have been cured of serious eye ailments by the use of Prof. Samuel's glasses. Consultation free.

EXCHANGES from all sections of the country report an unusually large attendance this year. Of course this can be attributed to the good crops, but probably the increasing desire for an education has more to do with it as anything else.
THE SCIENCE CLUB RECEPTION.
For some weeks past a member of the Science Club could be recognized by the permanent smile on his face, a smile which broadened to an alarming extent whenever anyone said anything about "going out to Uclee Joe's." This week the smile still remains, but it is one of recollection instead of anticipation. As the boys were too excited on Friday night to hold a regular meeting the program was postponed for two weeks and on Saturday afternoon the club which with a few lady friends numbered over fifty went to the residence Mr. Joseph Savage a mile and a half from town. Mr. Savage was waiting under the trees to shake hands with his old friends and make the acquaintance of the new men. Beside him were long tables loaded with big watermelons, ripe apples and several jugs of cider, one of which was sweet, and in the distance the continuous rumble of the cider mill could be heard. Evidently Mr. Savage knew the Science Club boys.
At 3:30 the president took his seat on a heap of fodder and called upon the members to give their vacation adventures. Prof. Bailey reported on the Toronto meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science. Prof. Marvin gave his experiences in Lawrence cellars. Mr. Caldwell related the adventures of Prof. Blake and Prof. Blake explained how Caldwell spent his vacation. After most of the members had given a satisfactory account of themselves the club were in such good humor that they allowed the amateur photographers of the party to practise on them. Then the club adjourned to the house where Mrs. Savage awaited them with an excellent supper of which the scientists showed their appreciation in the most emphatic way.
MORALS OF K. S. U.
The Nation of a recent date contained an article discussing the influence, moral and otherwise, of American Colleges. The writer seemed to labor under the impression that the influence was bad because students of good character were apt to be thrown in with students of bad character just at the age when most harm can be done.
However true this may be in most colleges it is certainly not the case in the University. No one need be afraid of sending a boy or girl here, because the influence is feared. It is true the University, as every school, has some students whose influence is to be feared, but on the other hand, it has a class of as upright and honorable students as can be found anywhere. The student who is looking for good associates can always have them, and need have no intercourse with those he does not desire.
The students here, may be said to be divided into two divisions, those who come here for work and those who do not. The latter class of course is the one that every student
having any regard for himself should avoid and generally does. Where there are so many students, one can always find associates to his liking, and dooes not have to take any that may be thrust on him. Of course if a student is naturally depraved, he is going to choose persons of a like character for his companions, and often he leaves the University much the worse for its influence. It is this latter class of students that has prejudiced many people of the state against the University and caused them to send their children to inferior colleges. If anyone will consider the matter carefully and look at all of the old students of the University, it will be found that a student who is disposed to proper actions always comes out of the University broadened, and more honorable and manly than when he entered.
PHILOLOGICAL CLUB.
At the meeting last Friday night the following officers were elected: President, Miss Anna L. McKinnon; Secretary, Prof. A. M. Wilcox; Treasurer, Mr. J. D. Bower-sock.
Miss Manley spoke of the studies of Bugge in the Norse Mythology of the Eddas, the third and final volume of which has lately appeared. Bugge admits a basis of common Teutonic tradition for the Norse Sagas, but attempts to prove that their present form is due to the influence of Christian or antique conceptions. The third volume deals especially with the Sagas of Odin on the gallows and the World-ashtree. In Odin hanging on the gallows, "in the wild wind, pierced by the spear, Odin sacrificed to Odin, and giving a loud cry," it is not difficult to recognize the crucified Christ. The characteristics of the World-ash too may be paralleled almost trait for trait indescriptions of Christ's cross written in lands free from Germanice influences.
Prof. Wilcox spoke of the Stoa of Eumenes at Athens. Koehler in 1877 maintained that it was behind the theater, and he has been generally followed. But Doerpfeld now shows that it ran from the theater to the Odeam by three arguments; first, the material and structure of the stoa behind the theater prove it to have been erected in the time of Lycurgus; second, the material and structure of the stoa running from the theater to the Odeum prove that it was built not by Herodes Atticus, but in Hellenistic times; third, the description of Vitruvius properly read, without any changes in 'the manuscripts, makes the stoa of Eumenes not behind the theater; but to the west of it.
Prof. Canfield spoke of a new work of Wm. Morris on the House of the Wolfings, wherein there is a combination of verse and prose, suggesting to a reviewer of the books in the Athenaeum whether accent and rhyme are really necessary to poetry.
Prof. Wilcox read two communications from the Archaeological Institute in regard to the excavation of
Delphi by Americans, and the club appointed a committee to draft resolutions of approval and interest in the work, and to receive contributions for the purpose.
MANY inquiries have been made as to the reliability of the statement last week that a new girl's Fraternity is endeavoring to enter the University. The statement is true in every particular. The name of the Fraternity is the Delta Delta Delta, commonly known as the Tri-Delta Fraternity. Believing the Fraternity field in the University to be filled, already, the KANSAN can not endorse any new chapter that may enter, nor can the endorsement of the students as a body be expected, but nevertheless, it is quite probable that before a long time there will be another ladies' Fraternity in the University, as the Tri-Delta is a new Fraternity, and will be satisfied with an opening that would be rejected by a better established Fraternity.
FROM the beginning the KANSAN has been the advocate of the athletic associations of the University and will continue to use its influence to advance their interests in every way possible. The University Ball proposed by the Kansan last week has met with such hearty endorsement that arrangements have been made to give such a ball and the date set for November 25. Fraser's Hall has been procured and everything arranged. The tickets will be sold only to University student and those who have been identified in University affairs.
The Regents have met and adjourned again without the election of a Chancellor. Most people think now that no Chancellor will be elected until next spring, when the Regents will be able to offer more inducements and then get a better man than could be obtained at present. The management by Mr. Spangler was officially endorsed and he was continued as Acting-Chancellor.
THE KANSAN has been sent to many old students because it is thought that they might wish to become subscribers. Those wishing to have it continued should notify the Business Managers at once as there will be no papers sent to persons after November 1st who do not request it sent. The subscription price is only 50 cents a year and it publishes all of the University news.
Too much cannot be said of the benefits to be derived from the drill of a literary society. The new students who have not already done so should connect themselves with one of the literary societies at once. The practice they get on the floor of a good society is invaluable and all who fail to get this drill will seriously regret it after they get out of school.

QUITE a little excitement has been caused in the University the past week,by the application by a party of Baker students to several of the K. S.U. Fraternities for a charter. It is not known what success they met with from the different chapters here, but from the first one to which they applied they received an unfavorable reply.
EVERY student who has not already done so should subscribe for a ticket for the Lecture course at once. Such a chance to hear a number of good lectures for so little does not occur often and no student should miss the opportunity. It will always be a source of regret to any student that misses these lectures.
HON. SETH L. Low has been elected president of Columbia. He is a graduate of the institution, being a member of the class of 1870, and his appointment receives the hearty endorsement of the friends and students of the University.
A RECENT graduate in Naturqu History, W. H. Brown, has been appointed "Naturalist in charge" of the expedition to S. Africa. He goes with the Eclipse Expedition; but has charge of all Natural History collections, etc., He intended to sail on the U. S. war ship Pensecola on the 7th, of this month.
We are very sorry that "Bess" has been unable to write an article in time for publication this week. We received one from her this week but too late for publication.

Two rival lovers, a dispute in the hall, a young man having a close connection with the University, the University reporter for one of the evening papers, and several members of the Board of Regents figured in the decision of the "True Relation between a student and a member of the Faculty," last Tuesday.
THE lecture course is now an assured fact. The dates have been arranged and the first lecture will be given in less than a month, and those who have not yet purchased tickets should do so at once as those holding course tickets will have the choice of seats. The course tickets are sold at the remarkably low price of Two Dollars. As far as made out the dates are as follows: Rev. Rob't. McIntyre Nov., 8; Geo. W. Cable Nov. 20; Nye & Riley, Feb. 18; Geo. Kennan, Mar. 27. The date of the fifth lecture will be announced later.
Millinery Display.
Last Friday and Saturday were gala days at the millinery establishment of Mrs. Orme & Engle. A finer display of goods has seldom been seen in the city. Owng to the immense custom occasioned on these days, most of the choice goods are sold. There still remain, however a few of the most desirable. We will mention some of them.
A large black and red Teutoned hat rolled on the side and fastened by large black and red bird, and with an aigrette.
An. English Toque hat, made of grass green plush with old rose Amour ribbon, trimmed low and with paradise wings.
A handsome beaver rolled on both sides, and trimmed with elegant jet and pom-pom.
A pansy shape hat trimmed with black and old gold and real paradise bird. A handsome Togue with light green feathered trimming and a rosette of the Lyons silk velvet. Of course these are only a few specimens which are to be found in this establishment. Besides they have a full stock of childrens hats and bonnets in all styles. Call up at their elegant rooms and see if our statements are not verified.

Mr. Crains, of the firm of Crains & Urbansky, has just returned from a trip to the east where he went to replenish his already large stock of clothing. This is the second trip Mr. Crains has made in the last few weeks, and speaks well for his ever increasing trade. He is determined not to allow his stock to run down, and this, in short, accounts for his increasing custom. A full stock and reasonable price have their effect. Remember

Margaret Mather as Juliet.
Everybody knows Andy Reed, the popular barber. Give him a call.
This simple announcement will fill the Opera house. Juliet's character as drawn by the poet is many sided and it is doubtful if there is another heroine of Shakespeare's creations that calls for such a varied display of emotions. Juliet—where her story of the feud between the Montagues and Capulet is being unfolded—is gay and merry as a lark, loving and devoted, tender and passionate, until the portion scene, when the young wife becomes transformed into a desperate woman, who is terribly in earnest her devotion to Romeo, even to the extent of self-destruction. Miss Mattea was equal to all these varying phases in Juliet's sad history. The balcony scene which last season was marred some what by affection, is now as finished a stage picture as one could wish to see. Her scene it garden with the nurse is girlish, impetuous and impulsive. The scene with Juliet's harsh parents has been toned down and improved in many little things. The final parting with Romeo was a mass terpiece of skill, and the potion scene—always considered the test of a Juliet's abilities—was almost fearful in its realism, culminating with a startling fall down a flight of steep steps, which gained for her a number of recalls. In this scene, as well as in the final one, where Juliet in the tomb of the Capulets her life with her own hands, Miss Mattea was at her best, showing the true qualities of a tragedienne.—Cleveland Plain dealer

HYPNOTISM IN MEDICINE.
Its Psychological Importance Recognized by Leading Scientists.
The experiments made by Dr. Charcot and his associates have been made the subject of discussion at a congress of scientific men recently held at Paris. Quite a number of reports were read indicating remarkable success in the treatment by hypotism of diseases that have often baffled the most experienced physicians. Two physicians of Amsterdam reported the results of no less than four hundred and fourteen cases they had treated by hypnotism. Of these "one hundred were fully cured. In ninety-eight there was a noticeable improvement, and in only seventy-one were there no results. Fifty-eight cases were not followed. The cases included organic maladies of the nervous system, mental diseases and neuralgia." Other physicians reported that in the treatment of the insane they have succeeded in some cases, though it was admitted that the difficulties were far greater than in physical maladies. It seems to have been conceded that there is more expectation of relief from treatment by hypnotism in nervous diseases in their various forms than in any others, and even if this be so it will be a gain to medical science. But the tests are only as yet in their experimental stage, and exactly upon what physiological basis the investigations of the most distinguished psychologists are founded does not yet appear certain. It is curious enough, nevertheless, that the methods of Mesmer, who was denounced as a charlatan a hundred years ago, but who has had some strong followers at different times since among the higher class of physicians, to say nothing of traveling lecturers who were able to control the will of persons who submitted to their treatment—it is curious, we repeat, that at the end of a century Professor Charcot should come forward publicly to show the wonderful power of merermerism, or hypnotism, as it has been called, since the experiments of Dr. Baird, of Liverpool, and that a congress of scientific men should take up anew a half forgotten subject and recognize by a long series of experiments its psychological importance. But if there is good in hypnotism, there is also danger in its use, as Charcot pointed out, if the person hypnotized may be made unconsciously to carry out the will of the operator even to the perpetration of a crime.—Baltimore Sun.

It is planned to hold a meeting every two weeks, and it is expected that they will be a source of great benefit as well as pleasure.
The Societies To-Night.
We propose to give every week a list of society meeting, with their programs. This will be a convenience we believe, and will enable everybody to choose what suits him best without having to pore over the different bulletin boards.

When was that? We failed to hear an account of that game and would like to have the particulars.
Iowa College, at Grinnell recently had a novel game of ball, the "Fats" of the college being matched against the "Consumptives." The total weight of the heavy men was 1,800 pounds and that of the light men was 1,000 pounds. The game was 9 to 8 in favor of the "Fats."
WE have a communication this week, concerning the new girl's Fraternity, written by one of our prominent students. While the KANSAN does not coincide with the views contained therein it is worth while to give them consideration because they are the other side of the question.
BAKER BEACON: The boys were out trying their new balls and rackets on the Lawn Tennis court, Friday. We think in a few weks our team will be able to successfully compete with Washburn and the K. S. U. leaders, on the look out for some fun.
The State Oratorical contest of Illinois was held at Galesburg Friday October 5th. The first place was won by Mr, A, C. Douglas of Monmouth College. The students of Knox College celebrated the occasion by burning the judges in effigy for not awarding first place to their representative.
We have received a copy of "Germania," a semi-monthly magazine published at Manchester, N. H., devoted to the study of the German language and literature. It is intended as means by which persons studying the language in school may have the choicest German literature in a convenient form to continue their studies after they are out of school.
THE KANSAN again desires to call the attention of our students to the splendid opportunity given by the University Lecture Course of hearing the best lecturers of America at a very nominal rate. These lecturers all command high prices and the association is to be congratulated on its display of true K. S. U., spirit in securing the best talent regardless of price. That the course merits your pronounce goes without saying. Think of hearing such men as Nye & Riley, George Kennan,
Geo. W. Cable, Rob't. MeIntire and Will Cumback all for two dollars. But when it is added that holders of course tickets will have first chance at reserved seats in the Opera House there will surely not be a single student so parsimonious as to refuse to buy a course ticket. These tickets are now on sale and as only a limited number will be sold only about one hundred more, you should secure them at once.
PERSONS who have been trying to persuade themselves that K. S. U. is pervaded with class spirit should read the following from one of our exchanges:
About two weeks ago a student in the junior class at Dartmouth, charged with breaking down the door of a freshman's room, was expelled by the faculty. His classmates submitted evidence which they say was sufficient to prove his innocence; but the faculty declined to allow him to return to the college. Over thirty members of the class, which numbers fifty-three, applied to President Bartlett for honorable dismissal papers, expressing a determination to leave.
MISS WALSCH RESIGNS.
Much surprise was manifest among the students the first of the week when it was announced that Miss Caroline Walsch, the assistant in English had resigned. The reason for this action is the poor health which Miss Walsch's mother is now in, her presence being required at home. Miss Walsch is a graduate of Vassar and has made many friends among the students, who are sorry to lose her.

A KICK.
EDITOR KANSAN:—Will you permit me to make a remonstrance, through the columns of your paper, against the custom now in vogue of closing the library during chapel. A number of students, of whom I am one, go to the University at 8 o'clock in order to study in the Library until class time, but at twenty minutes to 9 we must get out of the Library, and go to some recitation room to study. I can not believe that the Faculty prohibit our remaining in the Library from conscientious reasons, for one of the faculty is never seen leaving the Library when the bell for chapel rings. I fear that if the matter were investigated as many of the faculty could be found in the Library as in chapel, and this in face of the fact that they are responsible for the ruling that prevents a student remaining there during chapel. The Faculty would appear much more consistent in the eyes of the students if they would either vacate the Library during chapel or not compel the students to do so. This is a place where might be applied to advantage the old proverb,
"What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander."
STUDENT.
THAT NEW FRATERNITY.
In last week's issue I noticed an article in these columns deprecating the attempt to establish another ladies fraternity in the University, the reason being given that three were enough. Without any desire to champion the proposed new fraternity, for I am not acquainted with the parties interested in its inception, let us look at the question candidly and see if the reason given against its establishment is a good one. Any member of any of the fraternities now established will undoubtedly agree with me when I say that fraternity life is advantageous to the individual in that it fills out a part of life neglected in the strict collegiate courses, by giving him closer and firmer friendships, and thus indirectly increasing his affection for his Alma Mater, besides giving him social advantages to be enjoyed in no other way. Now if all this be true, would it not be to the true interests of the University and to each individual student if all the students were members of some such organization? True, some organizations would have higher aims than others, just as one class of students differs from another class in its hopes and aspirations. But each would undoubtedly be benefited by the association and mutual exchange of ideas and by that creation and enjoyment of close fellowship only found in college life within the fraternity circle. As it is at present, only a favored few can ever profit by this experience, since there are not enough organizations to accommodate all the different classes and grades of students. The only way this can be remedied is through the establishment of organizations that will include these classes. And if these organizations are conducted properly there can be no doubt of their advantage both to the individual students and to the University. For this reason the attempt to establish another fraternity should not be discouraged, as it certainly is not to be feared, by the older established chapters. M.

A NEW GIRL'S FRATERNITY.
What is Thought of it by a girl that is not a Member of a Fraternity.
Who is in it? Who knows anything about it? These are the questions that have been asked quite frequently during the past week by the various members of the several girl's Fraternities here. Of course it will be known at once the questions are in reference to the Fraternity that is now trying to add itself to the list of the K. S. U. secret societies, and everybody is on the tip toe of expectancy waiting for developments. The girls who are fraternity members of course are anxious because any new fraternity that enters here will weaken their influence. The girls that are not members of fraternities, of whom I am one, are interested in any new fraternity that may enter here for an entirely different reason. With us it is will the new comer be like the ones that are already here, making their chief requisites for membership, a girl's face and caring little about her scholarship, or will it look more towards true merit in the selection of its members? By this I do not mean that the girl's fraternities here do not have any meritorious girls among its members, for some of the most worthy girls of which our University can boast are members of Fraternities, but it is to be feared that they would never have been so if they did not have an attractive face or not possessing that, have a rich father who could open up his house when a party is to be given.
Mentioning a party reminds me of another cause for speculation as to the course to be pursued by the new Fraternity. Every one is familiar now with the jealousy that exists among the Fraternities that are already here when one of them gives a party. If special pains are taken to make the guests have a pleasant time, and if one of those present appreciating the attention shown, speaks of it afterwards or perchance he may be connected with some paper and to show his appreciation gives an account of the party, he must be careful what he says for the members of the other fraternities are ever on the alert to find fault with what he says. An instance of this kind is of recent occurrence and I remember how disgusting the controversy became before it was concluded.
comes, if it comes at all, will try to avoid these things that are so objectionable in the others, I, and, I think the majority of the non-fraternity girls will give the new fraternity a cordial welcome even if all of us cannot become members.

THE STATE Y. W. C. A. CONVENTION.
The Fourth Annual Convention of the Y. W. C. A's of Kansas opened Thursday evening, October 3, with a praise service, in which it was brought out very clearly that the various associations of the state have had much to be thankful for during the past year. The next morning after a short devotional service, the convention began its business by the election of officers Miss Lillian Dudley, of Marion, who was president of our Y. W. O. A. at the University in the year '87-'88, was elected president. The chief business of the morning was hearing the reports of the different associations in the states and of the state officers. About twenty associations were heard from. In the afternoon there were several papers, all of which were good, and were followed by animated discussions. Saturday morning was the financial meeting at which nearly $1,700 was pledged for the state work. As one result of this, our State Secretary will have an office secretary to assist her. Saturday afternoon, after the Question box, the convention was addressed by Mr. Speer and Mr. O'Brien or the subject of missions. At this meeting eighteen signed the missionary pledge. At the Women's Gospel meeting Sunday afternoon there were six conversions.
This brief account of the convention can give little idea of the spirit which animated it. There were present about seventy five delegates, nearly all of whom were thoroughly in earnest and enthusiastic in the work, and were women of culture and refinement, such as it does one good to meet. Besides our state workers, Miss Nettie Dunn, one of the National Secretaries, was present and gave help and encouragement. There were many evidences that the work has had had a wonderful growth in the state during the past year, and is supplying a need which no organization before it has been able to supply. In fact, Kansas is one of the leading states in this work, and the delegates went away from the convention feeling that it had been a grand success and that they had gained good which would last during their whole lives.
OROPHILIAN.
a need which no organization be-
Old time enthusiasm reigned in Orophilian Hall last Friday evening when the meeting was called to order by the president, R. R. Whitman. No program had been prepared but as often is the case that which comes without preparation is often more interesting than when much time has been spent getting ready and an audience was never more highly entertained than the one that was gathered in Orophilian Hall last Friday evening. There is perhaps nothing that will better attest the thorough training that the members of Orophilian are getting than the fact that they can at a moments notice give as interesting a program as the one renderec last Friday evening
The exercises were opened with a cornet solo by Will Curry, accompanied on the piano by Mr. Dick. A very beautiful and realistic recitation entitled "The Ghost" was delivered by Miss Gleason and on being enced she responded with a selection telling how Mrs. Bird joined the Masons. Miss Parks followed with a solo that elicited much applause from the audience. She was folowed by Messrs. Caldwell and Walker, who entertained the audience with reminiscences and old time triumphs of Orophilian. The exercises were concluded with "The Husking Bee" by Miss Gleason.
THE SEMINARY.
A large gathering was present at the second meeting of the Seminary of Historical and Political Science last Friday evening, several of the audience being from the city. The program presented was an unusually good one and was listened to with attention. The preceding meeting was reported by A. L. Burney; Domestic Current Events were discussed by Miss Laura Lockwood; Foreign Events by C. P. Chapman; The October Forum was reviewed by H. F. M. Bear, Prof. Blackmar gave a very interesting and instructive talk on "Some Phases of the Income Tax." Ed Esterly acted as reporter for the meeting.
The next meeting of the Seminary will be held next Friday evening and no better place can be found to spend a pleasant and profitable evening.

Townsend, followed by a declamation by Wescott. After recess the question Resolved, "That the surplus in the United States treasury should be apportioned among the states to assist them in maintaining their free schools, was discussed in the affirmative by Caughey and Palm and in the negative by Markley and King. A. C. Markley was installed as Sergeant-at-Arms.
A Miraculous Cure.
Arora News, March 9th, 1888: A case worth mentioning is Miss Delia Brooks daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Brooks, residing on Bluff street. This young lady's vision was so defective as to compel her to leave school when quite young, but no optician seemed to be able to do more than afford temporary and partial relief. When the watch factory was started she went to work there, but was soon compelled to abandon the job. Her sight was fast failing, and she was threatened with total blindness. She could see nothing at a distance, and was scarcely able to recognize her friends close at hand. But two years ago, when Prof. Samuels was here her mother insisted that she should consult him and make one more effort for relief. He made just the glasses her peculiarly affected eyes required, with which she could at once see so well as to readily distinguish persons across the street, and the improvement in her vision was very rapid. She resumed her job at the watch factory, where she is now employed, and the grateful parents yesterday joyfully assured a News representative that her sight has been fully restored, a permanent cure having evidently been effected, as she no longer uses the glasses except occasionally when compelled to work at night.
The happy parents could hardly find words sufficiently expressive to convey a full sense of their appreciation of the great success achieved by Prof. Samuels in the cure of their daughter's eyes—and this is but one of the many similar cures we might mention.
Prof. Samuels will be at the Eldridge House until Monday only.

Cromer, one of Kansas City's foremost men will deliver the address of the evening. In addition to the address there will be an attractive musical program. All students are heartily invited to attend this union meeting.
J. E. McPherson met with a painful accident last Monday. On leaving the University at noon he slipped on the stone steps in front of the main building and fell, spraining his left ankle. The injury has kept him out of the University this week. Although the sprain is not a very serious one, it is enough to prevent his moving around, and will take some time to heal. He has the hearty sympathy of his many friends.
The Y. M. C. A. convention held at Topeka October 16-20 was the largest convention ever held in the State and probably the largest Y. M. C. A. convention ever held in the United States. Over nine hundred delegates were present from all parts of the State, including two hundred college men, of whom K. S. U. sent twenty-five. The convention was addressed by the evangelists D. L. Moody, E. W. Bliss, L. D. Needham and others. D. B. Towner, the great chorister was present and led the singing. On Saturday morning the financial meeting was held in which over $14,000 was raised for the State work. A great impetus was given to the work which is bound to be felt all over the State.
On Saturday evening a party of young people assembled at the home of Miss May Webster in West Lawrence for the purpose of bidding adieu to Miss Kate Wilder, who is soon to leave for Cincinnati. She will there take a two years course in the hospitals, to prepare herself to become a trained nurse. Miss Wilder has always been a favorite with Lawrence people, young and old, and her departure is a source of almost universal regret, but while they dislike to part with her, they join in wishing her God-speed. Those present at Miss Webster's on Saturday evening were: Misses, Dalley, Haddley, McMillan, Monroe and Mrs. Frank Webster; Messrs. McCague, Lewis, Vouon his, Morris, Meiluish, Rankin, Taylor and Curry.
The Phi Psi's gave a delightful party in their halls last Saturday evening, Cards, conversation and dancing made the time pass quickly, and the night was far spent when the guests departed, after having enjoyed themselves as the Phi Psi and their friends always do. The following were present: Misses Webber, Love, Hutchings, Russell, Swope, Towne, Price, Buckingham, Tisdale, Melvin, Lyons, Price of Paola, Southard, Bishop, Hawkins and McCague. Messrs O. B. Taylore, Overton, Weaver of Leavenworth, Crawford, Swope, Hutchings, Baker, Caldwell, Mushrush, McPherson, Edison, Robinson, Brown, Hadley, Hudson, Weaver, Brown and Brewster.
We clip the following very complimentary notice of Mr. Frank E. Ward, the new superintendant of the machine shop, from the Joliet Daily News of October 8th:
"Frank E. Ward, one of Joliet's best young men, has decided to locate in Lawrence, Kan., where he has secured a fine position. He left for that city today. All who know Frank will be sorry to see him go, but evidently he is making a progressive step, according to a notice in the Lawrence Daily Record, which says:
"Mr. Frank E. Ward, of Joliet. Ill. has been appointed foreman of the electrical engineering machine shops at the University. He is a thorough mechanic, and comes with high recommendations from his employers. A large amount of machinery will arrive soon for this department, and Mr. Ward will have charge of all the machine work connected with the department of electrical engineering."
Mr. Ward has attained his present enviable position solely by hard work and study. The Rep.-Sun of this morning gives the young man a very fine notice, which shows what perseverance and pluck will accomplish. Speaking of Mr. Ward's career, that paper says:
"His parents were in poor financial circumstances, and Frank saw that if he ever attained a learning and a competency it must be by individual effort. At nineteen years of age he left the city school to take a job as foreman of the night turn at the rolling mills. He so creditably performed his duties there that he left with money enough to take a course in a college in Valparaiso, Indiana. Here he assiduously applied himself to the text books that were to aid him in the line of business he had selected for his future occupation.
"After his schooling in Vulparaiso, he returned to Joliet, to be offered his former place in the rolling mills, which kind offer he refused, to enter the employ of Bates Bros., machinists. This great firm soon recognized his worth, and placed him as foreman over the entire establishment, which important office he has satisfactorily filled.
"And now we get down to this morning when we announce that Mr. Ward leaves Joilet to go to Lawrence to accept the superintendency of the electrical and mechanical departments of the State University of Kansas.
"Boys, here is an example of what you can do if you want to. There are thousands of places to be filled by just such men, and you can fill them."
KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA.
Friday evening the ladies of Omega chapter Kappa Kappa Gamma were at home to their friends at the residence of Chas. Grovenor, Mr. Grovenor's cheerful house was filled at an early hour—for the Kappas are instituting a reform—with the Greeks. Music and pleasant conversation occupied the early part of the evening, until a call to luncheon met a willing response. After the refreshments had been cared for, a progressive conversation was announced, and handsome cards in the fraternity colors and bearing the names of the topics to be discussed. The conversation lasted fifty minutes, at the end of which time a vote was taken by the ladies to decide who should be entitled to the prize for being the best conversationalist. Mr. Albert Fullleur was voted the prize, a set of neat books. The affair was an especially pleasant one, and the ladies are to be congratulated on their social success. The following were present: Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Grovenor; Misses Cora Kimball, Flo Williams, Eva Howe, Etta Hadley, Mamie Simpson, Don Bowersock, Inez Taggart, Nina Taggart, Nell Morris, Laura O'Brien,

KAPPA ALPHA THETA.
Owing to sickness and death in their number, the members of Kappa Alpha Theta have been delayed in their social and literary work. They intend to resume the custom that they introduced here a few years ago, of holding open meetings and listening to lectures, recitals, etc. On next Saturday afternoon, at the home of Miss Webster, as the first of a series of musicals, Prof. MacDonald will give a lecture on English Song, and will be assisted by Miss Josephine E. Hutchings. The ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta like to claim the honor, if there be any attached, of being the first to institute a series of open meetings and date their claim back two years when they began enjoying these meetings.
Why can't the president of Atheneum, if he amounts to anything, and ought to do something toward putting some life into it and arouse it from the slumber into which it seems to have fallen.

We are greatly indebted to Jus D. Bowersock for taking charge of the KANSAN this week
We received a communication this week signed "Discipulus," but as no name accompanied it we can not publish it. All contributions must be accompanied by the name of the sender or they will not be published.
We learn from an exchange that the over-exertion caused by climbing the hill is thought to encourage that terrible affliction, consumption. All the causes that may lead to this disease are unknown to us, but better authority than the editor of a college paper would be needed to convince us that the walk
up the hill was not so far from beinjurious as to be decidedly beneficial. Walking is one of the most healthful exercises, and we have no doubt that the hill, especially in the almost total absence of other exercise, is one of the best preventives of disease possible in connection with University life. Exercise in general, and that of the lungs in particular, is recommended in the case of consumption, and until authority is produced we shall believe in the healthful and beneficial situation of our University.
A GENTLEMAN from the East was heard to remark not long ago, that he had noticed in the West a great lack of culture among the students. We were inclined to speak for "our West" until a student came up and said, "Have the chapel exercises began yet." Of course, after this, all arguments were useless and we were forced to accede partly to the gentleman's claim. This set the wheels of thought in motion, and listening we found that such mistakes were of not at all uncommon occurrence. You may say that it is carelessness, and not ignorance, and we will certainly agree with you. But that is no excuse. Be it carelessness or ignorance the result is unchanged, and will, as a general rule, be attributed to the latter. It makes little difference how wisely you may talk on a subject, if your English is not pure, you will find it next to impossible to make any impression on your hearers. You may wait until experience has taught you this, when it may be too late to profit thereby, or you may learn by what you have seen and heard, and rectify it at the proper time, while at school. We are certain that in most cases it is carelessness, and needs only a little attention and care to be removed.
ACCORDING to the Hesperian, the Frats and Barbs at Nebraska University have been having a little fight over their college paper. Up to this time they have been working in unison, but now the Frats have withdrawn their support and left the Barbs in control. These latter seem exultant over what they are pleased to term their victory, saying that the former gave but little support before, which can easily be replaced. They also threaten to make some exposures, most unpleasant to the Frats. We have not heerd from the other side as yet, and shall watch developments with interest. Without judging of the merits in this case, we would say that it is unfortunate that college life should be marred with these fights. The Hesperian would probably call our attention to the state of things at K. S. U., and the point would be well made. Our University is no freerer than other colleges of these misunderstandings, and it is not to our credit. One other thought presents itself. If the money and time expended on these fights were devoted to—well, the same old subject, just now alive again in the students' minds, college athletics, there would be such a boom in the sporting field of K. S. U. as has not been experienced since the old gymnasium was in full blast.
"'Tis true, 'tis pity, and pity 'tis, 'tis true."
THE NATIONAL FLOWER.
Mrs. Frank Leslie, in a communication to the Kansas City Journal, discusses at some length the question of national floral emblems. Toward the end Mrs. Leslie says: "Now, as regards the United States, it is certainly strange that while England has its rose, Ireland its shamrock, Scotland its thistle, France its lily and Sweden its yellow roses and corn flowers, we have not adopted before this some of our very beautiful flowering trees or plants as our national emblem." So far it seems that national spirit has displayed itself only in regard to the flag of the United States. We have in piring songs of our flag, but we can not yet sing of our country as the Irish do of theirs:
"'Tis the land where the shamrock grows'
Of late some enthusiasm has been shown on the matter of a national flower, but the land seems too large or sectional feeling too intense for a suitable one to be selected. Mrs. Leslie's opinion will find an echo in the heart of every Kansas, for she supports the claims of the sun-flower for the honor. These claims are stated by her as follows: "Surely no more distinctive, no more representative an emblem could well be found anywhere than this flower of the great grassy plains and rolling uplands. The dwarf sun-flower recalls the soil wherein it grew; its very habitat characterizes the country we live in, where we were born, and where we hope to be laid at rest."
AN EDITOR'S REVERIE.
JUST now, when the chilly blasts from the North driveth the verdant base-ballists to shelter, when the beardless Freshie seeketh for luere with which to redeem his moth-eaten chinchilla, and even the worthy compositor of the KANSAN raiseth his voice for "copy" as he smiteth his shoulders with his frost-bitten hands, an idea, a poor unclothed idea, a near relation to the well-roasted chestnut, knocketh loud at the weary brain of the KANSAN scribe. Right gladly was it admitted, and behold, it stood forth as a shining light.
"Who art thou?" asked the editor, "for theu art indeed a stranger to me."
"I am the spirit of inter-fraternity friendship," responded the voice of the idea. "For years have I remained a stranger on the summit of you Mount Oread, driven away by the petty bickerings and jealousies of those who are pleased to term themselves brothers. I have returned; and I find now nine orders, instead of three. I find each man true to his fraternity, but striving against his fellow-student. I have returned; and I
find the same scenes of harmony in the fraternity halls, but the same plots, deep-laid or simple, against some other order. I have returned; and I find the same exultant flush of pleasure and victory on the faces of some, as bits of colored ribbon appear upon the breast of a newcomer, but I see again the scowl of ill-will and the frown of disappointment upon the features of others. I have returned; and I see the same strife for excellence in some, but now that the number of your orders have multiplied, how much greater is the evidence of neglect of classes, waste of opportunities and inattention to duties during what you call your 'rashing season.' I have returned; and I find that while in my day the fraternity waited for the man to display true worthiness, today he is initiated without even an introduction to all of those who are to become his brothers.
"Brothers, did I say? Bah: What mockery, what sham, what insincerity, there is in the very name, to-day. I doubt not thou art a fraternity man. Nay, I see the badge upon thy breast. Thy ritual says that thou shalt love, cherish and protect thy brother. But it does not says that it is indispensible that thy brothers alone shall receive all college honors. It does not say that in the legitimate strife for supremacy thou shalt gain the ennity of thy fellow-student in order to place thy brother in power. Thy fraternity, and the others, have yet to learn meekness; that real honors come not through forcing; that no man will look upon a fraternity as best because of the number of its members, but because of the nobility of their characters and purity of their lives. If thy fraternity say to you, "Be true to thy brother, and means not 'be true to thy fellow-student,' then thy fraternity is unworthy of its name. I am gone. Remember what I have said. When I hear no more of discordant wrangling, when I see fraternity standing with fraternity as member with member when in thy organizations I see honor bestowed where honor is due, I will return again."
And the spirit departed; but the light still shone upon the editor's mind, and he thought that it might be well to have the spirit of interfraternity friendship with us again. Don't you?
Students, when your sole grows thin and your heel runs down, Pat Graham is the man you want to see.

A pretty girl,
A summer night,
A moon ———
Impassioned fellow,
A gentle word,
A solemn vow.
A kiss, ———
And all is well, ol.！
Again the girl,
Another night
Same moon,—
Thus far 'tis well, oh!
But if we took,
Another look,
We'd see,—
Another fellow.

A Gloaming Song.
W.8.SMITH.
Soffly fall the shades of evening
O'er the woods and lake gemmed hills
While the air, its perfume breathing,
With the soul of music thrills.
Far away the faint lights glimmer
On the altar of the West.
On the lake the last beams shimmer,
Woodland voices call to rest.
Holy Spirit breathe thy blessing,
Over all the quiet land.
In thy peaceful sacred presence
Shield us with thy mighty hand,
Flowers fair like jewelled censers
Up to Thee their incense raise.
While the wild bird chants her vespers
With a voice of love and praise.
CREATURES OF THE PERIOD
Some Plain Language From Truthful Bess.
In a previous article I spoke of the indelicacy of ladies rushing for gentlemen's Fraternities, and for fear of being misunderstood, I wish to state that in my opinion the practice of gentlemen rushing for ladies Fraternities is to be deprecated just as much. It is a species of meddling not to be tolerated by right minded students. To be guilty of such behavior is to display a contemptible and officious nature.
As I come up the hill every morning, I am pained to encounter that specimen of abstreperous female known as the "loud" girl. The sound of her voice is heard in the Hall and the noise of her laughter jars upon the ears of the nervous student. She belongs to a class of girls that are as a thorn in the flesh of sensible people. It is a class that is not peculiar to the University but, is to be found wherever we go. The "loud" girl is nearly as ubiquitary as Mr. Toil who so persistently met the eyes of poor little Hugh Idle, and like the poor and delinquent subscriber, we have her always with us. She hungers and thirsts for distinction and a beau, and spends her time that should be passed in senseless chitchat and in striving with an energy worthy a better cause, to attract attention. No doubt she fancies herself very brilliant. Would that she might realize a certain stanza of Robert Burns. But it may be that this misguided person be as she is, more from the fault of some inherent qualities than her own volition. It is not my intention to censure everything in her manner that departs from straight-laced primness. Far from it. I
am not an apostle of the exploded doctrine that women should be as precise as they were in the good old days that blue spectacled chronics are always harping of. For my part I think it time for them to hang the aforementioned harps on the willow and tune their voices to some more cheerful lay. Our foreparents were wise in their day and generation, but so are we in ours. They may talk about their shortwaisted divinities, Mehitable and Priscilla, their spinning wheels and industries, but they are extremely behind the time and can make no comparison with our wideawake girls of to-day. I believe in a girl having a good time but let her go about it in a sensible way. The idea of the "loud" girl in regard to a good time are very peculiar and cannot be entertained by her more sensible sisters. Girls have been treated so mercilessly by all writers about them that it well becomes one of their own sex to tell the truth about their weaknesses, and what I have said has been done in the hope that the type of girl that I have mentioned may see the folly of her ways and profit thereby. One never looks at a paper now without seeing that the poor "girl of the period" has been made the subject of a vigorous onslaught. Her dress, her manners and her talk are so severely criticised that it is a wonder that she finds courage to exist at all, after such rough handling. But she does.
When reading of the criticisms passed on girls it has often occured strange to me that there is never a word said about the faults of boys. The foibles of the "young gentleman of the period" seem to escape notice. It may be that the writers think the field there is not open to criticism and if it is found it is so mild that the courage of the Censor tails him before so formidable a task. But I wish to say right here that the boisterous female is not the only delinquent that I wish to tax with unbecoming conduct. There is another culprit that needs attention and that is the cigarette fiend. It has been said and truly that warnings against juvenile smoking are best sounded with a shingle. After a boy has outgrown the restraining influence of his mother's slipper common sense ought to teach him better than to indulge in this evil habit. If the young gentleman fondly imagines that his beauty is enhanced and the admiration of other boy's sisters enchained by the vigorous puffing of that invention of Satan, the cigarette, he is greatly mistaken. No sensible girl can have aught but contempt for the cigarette Fiend.

BESS
The Science Club met as usual in Snow Hall last Friday evening.
The first paper on the program was by Prof. Murphy on the distribution of the load on the cables supporting a suspension bridge. He was followed by Prof. Templin who gave a very interesting account of the University of Oxford and his experiences there. For the benefit of those who were unable to be present we make a few extracts from his paper:
The colleges of Oxford, twenty-five in number, are separate from the University and have their own organizations. The care taken of undergraduate students is very strict. If a student is seen on the streets smoking, or without his gown and "mortarboard," or is out after 9 o'clock he is fined, yet there is a great deal of dissipation and immorality among the students. Most the time of the average student is passed in late social breakfast, two or three hours reading in the morning, luncheon at 1, boating cricketing or loafing afternoon, dinner with his college mates and tutors, wine supper or the "Unions" in the evening. He may attend lectures or not as he chooses and he only reads those books which will help him in the University examinations. A very conservative estimate placed the year's expenses at about $1,200. The annual income of all the Oxford colleges is two and a half yearly. It is impossible to compare Oxford with any University in this country; first because there is nothing here nearly equal to it in age, stability, extent and wealth, and second because the objects in view are so different. In America as in Germany the University is supposed to be from first to last an institution of learning. Oxford with Cambridge are first of all the bulwarks of the church and aristocracy. This leads them to sacrifice everything living and modern on the altar of the classics. The splendidly equipped physical laboratory like the great Bodelean library is comparatively speaking, almost unused. Again their system of private teaching, scholarships and perpetual examinations makes learning mercuryy and destroys original investigation. But come what may, here or elsewhere, there is one thing of which we may rest assured. Oxford, though her reform may be exceedingly slow will never retreat an inch."
W. S. Smith reported on current scientific literature. A number of the papers which have been read in in the Science Club will be presented to the Acadamy of Science at Wichita this week. Probably the Science Club is the largest contributor to this body of any organization in the State.
Corn? Corns did you say? I think more of those corns than I do of my studies, but corn and myself will soon part company, for I have just purchased a bottle of Raymond & Dick's Corn Remedy.
PHILOLOGICAL CLUB.
At the Philological Club last Friday night Prof. Carruth read "An Essay Towards a Normal Text of Chancer," illustrated by the Wife of Bath's Tale. Emendations of a single text based on the general usage of Chaucer with respect to grammatical forms, contractions and elisions, and further, on the assumption of nicety and uniformity in the poet's versification found a remarkable support on comparison with the best manuscripts presented in Turnival's Six-Text edition. This confirmation of emendations based on an a priori assumption seems to justify an attempt to establish a Normal Text of Chaucer.
Prof. A. G. Canfield gave an account of the lives and works of Ereckmann-Chatrian, the famous French literary partners, and told of their late dissolution of partnership, caused by a difference of opinion in regard to the distribution of the proceeds from their works.
Prof. Wilcox spoke of some representations of Asklepios without beard, and Prof. Canfield read some extracts from Mallory's Morte d'Arthur and Morris's Tale of the Wolfings, and suggested the possible influence of the style of the former on that of the latter.
OROPHILIAN.
Orophilian met Friday night and listened to a talk by Mr. Max Winkler on life at Harvard. He said Harvard represented liberty; the whole system was founded on liberty. The talk was divided into three parts, scholarly life, social life and athletic life. To enter Harvard one must pass very vigorous examination and on an average of about eighteen subjects. Age of entrance students is about 20. After entering nothing is required and a student must choose 4 of 350 courses for his year's work. Attendance on recitations and lectures is entirely voluntary.
Relations between professors and students are very close; the professors are very social, love to mingle with the students, make calls on them and take part in athletic sport.
The society life at Harvard has a deeper root than elsewhere. This society is divided into classes—that of the students among themselves, and among the Bostonians. The class spirit is dead, and the university has taken its place, and developed social clubs doing literary and scientific work. There are only two fraternities in Havard and they are dead, for there is no reason for their existence. Special work has existence. Special work has taken, and is taking, the place of general literary work. Clubs of every caption are formed. With a few enthusiastic remarks about the college spirit and athletics Prof. Winkler closed his talk which had been so entertaining.
This series of talks will be con tinued to-night by Prof. Carruth on graduate life at Harvard.
