The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. have secured Bishop Foss, of Philadelphia, to preach a sermon before them Sunday evening, November 10th, in the University Hall. Bishop Foss is one of the finest preachers in the United States, and is noted especially for his sermons to students.
Prof. Perry, of Boston, is one of the finest pianists in the country. He not only plays with consummate skill and beauty, but also by a few well-chosen words enables his hearers to understand the composers and appreciate their works.
On Sunday, November 3d, at 4 p. m., a special evangelistic service will be held at the Y. M. C. A. A personal invitation is extended to students who are not in the habit of attending these meeting. Come next Sunday and bring your friends.
Athæneum held a meeting last Monday.
Let us have a Glee Club.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOV. 1, 1880
A Glee Club for the Oratorical contest.
A Glee Club that Washburn will envy.
The Freshman have not organized as yet.
G. O. Virtue protests that he is not in the Soph. Rho. Kappa Tau faaternity.
Clark is a member of the Sophomore fraternity, The Rho Kappa Tau.
Chapman can speak not from personal experience but from the wisdom of others.
Prof. Robinson evidently knows all about Rho Kappa Tau. A joke in Latin gave him away.
The new girls fraternity is causing many whispered conversations among the fair sisters in K. S. U.
The half term examinations are brawing near and the students are studying—how to stand in with the Prof.
Get your lecture course tickets before the chart opens on Wednesday, in order that you may have first choice at seats.
The K. S. U. B.B.C. will not play ball to-morrow with the noble red man from the forests. It rained, which is very lucky for our base ball enthusiasts.
The Foot Ball Club is mighty and will soon be a power in University athletics. Every member is presented with an office.
The ladies of the University church will give their annual New England dinner to-day and to-morrow in the room formerly occupied by the Delmonico.
The Sigma Chis are well posted on the prices of the different livery stables for hacks. The Sigs gave a party last night and it rained. Oh my!
A large number of specimens from Russel Co., arrived this week and are in the basement of Snow Hall. They will be placed in position in the museum as soon as the cases are ready.
The Pharmics are wrot because a rumor gained credence that they were so ungentlemanly as to insult a lady who attended one of the meetings of the Pharmaceutical society.
Robt. McIntyre, the prince of orators, Nov. 8.
Rho Kappa Tau is a great favorite with the girls.
Boys read what the Tribune thinks of such pranks.
Several of the boys celebrated Halloween under umbrellas.
The Pi Beta Phi fraternity have issued invitations for a party Nov. 15.
Hickey says the report that he took part in the initiation is unfounded.
Miss —— say she has not received single invitation to the K. S. U. ball.
Some of the much rushed barbs are being given a rest, greatly to their delight.
M. S. McMullen of Ottowa addressed the Y. M. C. A., last Sunday afternoon.
The threats that the Journal held out to the unwary Halloween marauders were rendered futile by the rain.
Mr. Postlewaithe, who was prominent in University circles a year or so ago, has been visiting the Phi Psi boys during the week.
The Freshman finish Solid Gee metry next week. Prof. Templin's class will have written recitations every day next week in place of the regular examination.
A snipe hunt beneath umbrellas is the latest. Hobo Reed will envy them, and Worden's ghost is appeased, while Weed in ecstasy rejoices that there are gulls in Kansas too.
The students seem to have found lots of fun in the halls this week, as they are almost invariably late in getting to their classes.
The story is told at last. We have wondered how the grave and reverend Senior wrote his grandiloquent themes and theses. But at last we know, he buys them from a firm in Chicago at the rate of a dozen for a dollar. Vide bulletin board.
What is the name of the new girls fraternity. The Tri Delta or the Delta Tau Omega. We think its awfully mean in the girls not to tell us the name of the new frat., Dont you?
The Tribune is rather harsh upon the boys who were engaged in the little matter of hazing, politely called mock initiation. The Tribune is right, the faculty should see that no more of these farces take place.

Prof. Dunlap is in favor of literary societies and expresses himself as very much surprised that the student in K. S. U. take so little interest in them.

"Do not swear. There is no occasion to swear outside of a printing office. It is useful in proof-reading and indispensable in getting forms to press, and has also been kown to assist in looking over the paper when it is printed, but otherwise it is a very disgusting habit "—Canton (Ill.) Gazette.
The COURIER is glad to learn of the success of L. A. Stebbins, who secured many honors for himself and the University during his attendance here. He is now practicing law very successfully in Topeka. Although engrossed in the cares and trials of business life, he finds time to write to the COURIER, commending our action in advocating the selection of J. H. Canfield for Chancellor.
Prof. Edward Hopkins has finally arrived and has begun his work in K. S. U, All the students in his classes express themselves well pleased with him thus far, and believe that he will be a popular man.
The faculty should not let so near an approach to hazing as the initiation of Mr. Clark go unnoticed. The members of this Rho Kappa Tau should be thoroughly scared at least, for it is detrimental to the fair fame of K. S. U. that such things should occur. And again we say, the FACULTY should stop it.
There is an inclination on the part of several of our musically inclined students to endeavor to start a Glee Club this winter. This should receive the encouragement of every student for it has been a matter of a great deal of comment. And we students of K. S. U. should rise and assert that we cnn sing with Washburn.
We have received an answer from an ex-student to Hervey White's article on "Barbs and Frats in K. S. U." which we will give in our next issue. Though we do not coincide editorially with all the gentleman says, yet he is for the most part in the right. Our views columns are open to all but we wish and ask that its contributors do not use them to vent personal spite nor do we wish any personal invectives. The views column like the rest of the paper, is devoted to objects and things of live interest to the students, and should not be made a means of wounding any ones feelings.
It is a matter of regret that the spirit which showed itself in the "hoboing" of Worden should make its appearance in the Sophomore class this year. The matter of this Rho Kappa Tau initiation is a cause of much mirth at present but it speaks but poorly for those engaged in it. This is too near to hazing to be winked at by the faculty. The victim of this farce has been in the University long enough to know that he would not become an object of so much interest in so short a time if it were not for some ulterior motive. The COURIER extends its sympathies both to the afflicted and his quondom brethren in Rho Kappa Tau.
Now the time for the semi-term examinations is upon us and the COURIER thinks that the professors should follow the good example set by some of them and do away with examinations if the student's work has been satisfactory during the term. This we think would be a move toward the betterment of the University and would most decidedly be a benefit to the students.
There was to be another meeting of the Sophomores fraternity last night and in place of the regular literary and musical program it was decided to take the Annual Sophomoric snipe hunt, in the vicinity of Horse Shoe lake. Then again we heard that one gang started out with Rho Kappa Tau another one with eggs and still another with missiles of all descriptions.
Challis and Poehler went out on their regular weekly hunt last Saturday.
HALLOWEEN.
The return of Halloween recalls many past incidents in the history of K. S. U. and her students Fortunately for the boys, there has never been any tendency to destroy valuable property or to deface or mar any handsome building.
A few old rotten sidewalks usually go, and are soon replaced by better ones; the old "doric temple," known to fame as the observatory has been again and again "painted red" by hilarious Freshies, only to be repainted; sundry gates have taken vacations of longer or shorter duration; but, on the whole, the boys have been very good and pious.
In the old days of '85 and'86, when Brown, Adams, Preston, McAlpine, McLaren and other mischief loving spirits were in school, there was always a large force of special police sworn in, in anticipation of trouble. They usually earned all they got by walking a good many more miles than was their custom, following some noisy band of serenaders, but no arrests were made, and the serenades usually went on.
Some years ago, there was quite an excitement raised by the rumor that evil disposed students would break into the University and raise the Old Nick inside the building. Several watchmen were put on in the buildings, and armed with
clubs and cider, they waited in vain for the attack. The boys were on hand but not hostile, they came and looked, then went off. Superintendent Parrish was delighted to think that none of the vandals had entered the buildings, but lo! the first person who came up the hill gazed on old "Brother Bones" swinging far out over the roof of the main building. Some "wretch" had gone in past four or five special police and arranged things to suit himself. He hung the skeleton, placed the manikin in the Doctor's chair and generally re-arranged Prof. Snow's collection.
Halloween is not a good time for practical jokes, as there are too many eyes on the watch. The most effective jokes have been perpetrated at other times. Beta Kappa Chi, or the "Mystic Lantern" crowd, never did their mischief on those nights.
The "Highbargain Ranch" was quiet and Lawrence, while she expected something horrible, was usually pleasantly disappointed.
WILL C U LATER.
WE BELIEVE IT, BECAUSE.
It cometh on the wings of rumor, but we must note it as it glideth by that: Prof. Carruth is the most influential man in the Faculty.
Hervey White is a most pleasant and efficient guide.
Clark is a most brilliant fellow and every inch a man.
Mushrush is a hustler when it comes to a "lectural" speculation.
The University Ball will be a bird from paradise,
The Business College Cadets are gallant fellows and deserve not the sneer of the 'varsity man.
Prof. Hopkins is "no small potatoes."
Prof. Canfields lecture on the Race question was a most able and comprehensive effort.
Crank, of the Laws, is a second Tanner when it comes to the pension question. His 700,000,000 (?) soldiers are his very pets.
The Kent Club is as breezy as a Kansan's whiskers.
Last night was'an "unhallowed" eye.

VIEWS.
Why cant the president of the Authenacum 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. Kansan.
The above squib, whatever it may mean with its garbledEnglish. was doubtless intended as a slur upon Athenaeum's worthy president and it was probably published on account of the hatred which the brilliant (?) "Major General" who presides over the Local Dept. of the Kansan bears the "barb" students and also on account of his desire to take revenge upon Athenaeum because her members once thought that the society would not be benefited by the gentleman's august presence and consequently black balled him. There was no just cause for the attack, whatever, for it is the president's duty to be present and preside over the meetings of a society but it is not in his power to compel attendance or even to compel those who are present to perform.
The responsibility in a Literary Society lies not with the president but with the executive committee and if the members of that committee do not arrange programs that are interesting enough to attract a crowd the blame rests upon them and not upon the president, and if the Kansan had desired to be just it would have censured the executive committee, but justice and truth are not virtues of which the Kansan can boast. Moreover, a majority of the members of the executive committee are fraternity men and the president is a barb and of course, as a result, a "representative paper" such as the Kansan would have to vent its spleen upon Mr. Spencer. But as every tail minded person will consider the source and causes of the attacks upon Mr. Spencer, it will do no harm and simply goes to show the degrading depth of despicable personality to which some people will lower themselves. A Barb.
Phi Beta Kappa has granted a charter for a chapter at the University of Kansas. This will be the first chapter of the kind west of the Mississippi and is another proof that "Westward the Star of Empire takes its way."

LAW DEPARTMENT.
King now wears the cross of the Sigma Chi's. The fraternity is to be congratulated.
W. J. L.Crank went to Topeka Monday on important business.
The faculty are loud in their complaint of the noise which it is alleged the Laws make in the halls. Yet the other students run up and down the halls in front of the Law room, and make such a racket with their laughter and loud talk that it is often impossible for those in a distant part of the room to hear what the professor is saying.
Green has started a short-hand class for the purpose of instructing the future jurists.
Mertz is learning to trip the light fantastic.
The Juniors finished up constitution Tuesday.
Wallace, as President of the Senate, showed himself to be the right man in the right place. There is strong talk of electing him President of the Club as successor to Mr. Nichols, who at present honors that position.
The Juniors have lost one of their number. McKnab returned to his home in Olathe Tuesday, where he expects to enter the law office of his uncle.
Teller is taking short-hand under the instruction of Prof. Green.
The Senate by the Kent Club last Friday evening was a success. Orators were present in legions, but owing to the time taken up in the preliminary wire-working, only a few were so fortunate as to get to speak. This interesting program will be continued this evening.
PHARMACY DEPARTMENT.
Weida received quite a fall in going down hill Friday evening.
The Senior class have sent in an order for glasses and they will be here the latter part of the week.
The fraternities seem to be rushing the Pharmacy students. Three of them having been taken into the fold.

The new girl's fraternity is animating the thoughts of all the girls.

The chart for Robt. McIntire will be opened at J. S. Crews next Wednesday morning to all holders of course tickets. On Thursday and Friday the chart will be open to the general public at the usual prices.
The meetings of the Unity Club are among the most interesting to students of any in the city. Next Monday night Mr. B. W. Woodward will read a very interesting paper on "Thackery and Balzae," this paper was read before the Old and New Club a short time ago and is highly spoken of. Mr. Woodward has a fine discrimination in literature and has a happy faculty of expressing himself The Club wel come all who attend.
Unity Club.
Poehler and Challiss took their regular weekly trip to Horse Shoe Lake and, as usual, returned with plenty of game; i. e., they were made game of by the boys.
The Tri Delt fraternity it seems is not the one that will enter the University. We would welcome the Tri Delt as we welcome the Phi Beta Kappa.
There is nothing like fun, but don't let it carry you away so far that you are forgetful of the rights and property of others. Don't throw rubbers at each other in the halls. That's what the faculty say and we coincide.

Beta Nappa Chi and Rho Kappa Tau are distinctively Kansas fraternities. None but new students of K. S. U. have the requisite qualifications for membership. It is sad to think that the number of members of each is so limited, it must necessarily be so, as not every one can be induced to stand the initiation. These two frats recall Lambda Upsilon, an organization which flourished here in 1884-85. Its objects were, "to promote the welfare and peace of the citizens of Lawrence, to rise h—in general and to catch fish in particular." To Lambda U. could be traced nearly all the overturned walks and painted buildings, all the hideous howls which make night awful, and Lambda U. organized the chapler, and initiated all the Beta Kappa Chis.
To Lambda U. belonged the gentle guileless P. R. Bennett, Preston and McAlpine, the Sigs who could outscream a locomotive, Will Brown, the great and only Brown of the Smithsonian Institute, Adam Dailey and others of the innocent who lived at the Highbargain house, and a select assortment of talent and wickedness.
They did not advertise, none who were not members had any idea of such an order being in existence, but it did exist. The members interfered with parties of all classes, they stole suppers of the greeks, they purloined the Betas first "Turkey" and well lived up to the principles expressed in their by laws. It is probably well that they have all gone and left no organization. The present Sophomore class is doing well enough,
---
While the COURIER believes that strong measures should be used to prevent a repetition of the Rho Kappa Tau prank, we protest most strongly against the punishment of a few only, whom the faculty seems disposed to consider as the ring-leaders in the affair As a matter of fact, there were no ring-leaders. No individual took a more prominent part than another. Each one entered upon this scheme, clearly understanding that he was to assume an equal share of the responsibility. Since Rho Kappa Tau was presumed to be a Sophomore organization, none but Sophomores took part in that famous 'business meeting,' and Mr. Clarke has, therefore, been able to furnish the names of a few only who were implicated in the affair. For the faculty to punish these and allow much the larger mumber of offenders to escape without even a reprimand seems the height of injustice and we hope that the rumors, to the effect that this is the course which they will pursue in the matter, are unfounded.
The committee will no doubt make the University Ball a very successful affair. It would speak but poorly for the public spirit and enterprise of the students if these persons who have devoted themselves so unselfishly to this work, should not fully realize their expectations. You can give your support to no more laudable enterprise, for the funds raised
will be used for a purpose which will benefit no special clique or faction but the whole body of students.
VIEWS.
"EDITOR COURIER":—In writing a few words in reply to a recent set of views on the subject of Greek letter societies, the readers of the Courier will absolve me from any personal bias against Mr. White, as that gentleman is a total stranger to me, as far as personal acquaintance is concerned I am aware that amateur photography has been carried to a ridiculous, degree of indulgence. But that so foundless and featureless, so toneless, colorless and altogether ghostly, a set of "views" could be produced, I am pained to learn. They are an incoherent mass of "undeveloped negatives" like primeval chaos, "without form and void." They are rural in the most verdant sense of the word. There is a rurality which becomes president some day. And there is a rurality which luxuriates in the verdancy of crowded streets, of books of whose lessons are never learned, of a University whose mechanical apparatus is confined to a billiard cue and a cigarette and whose only text book is Hoyle. The views referred to are full of the latter sort of rusticity The members of Athaeneum are long suffering the readers of the Courier are entitled to an apology
Passing over the Miltonian egotism of the gentleman's windy exordium, which sets out with such philanthropic but fatiguing verbosity to unravel mysteries which the gentleman's hearers were far more competent to educate than his article proves him to be, we come to one startling statement that the members of the "boy" fraternities are gentlemen. I always supposed they were either hoodlums or ladies. The writer goes on to elaborate the process by which the fraternity "boy" acquires the polish which so strikingly differentiates him from barbarian erudition. I leave it to the gentleman himself whether Bixby's Best and the products of the Ottumwa mills are not preferable to the castor oil and the goose grease of the average barb, when I call to mind the countless instances where gourdline barbs have been transformed into something passably presentable in society, something tolerably attractive in manner and something less frightful everyway; when I remember the barbarian cowhides which have passed through the Grecian mill and come out with some resemblance to patent leather. I feel like giving the gentleman credit for whatever grain of sincerity may have been hidden away in his sarcastic tribute to the efficacy of the fraternity as a polisher and a refiner. I have seen the fraternity take to raise so many unkept tow-heads, wash their faces, put them through a course of training, rub off the glaring evidences of the barnyard and turn out a fairly presentable fellow, that I cannot help believing that the gentleman meant a little of what he said.
But the next paragraph of the gentleman's article passes from the unwilling utterance of an unmean truth to the deliberate insolence of bigoted hostility, of not disappointed ambition. "You may be a numbskull, you may be indolent, you may be without a spark of originality; and yet, if you are a Greek, you can edit our papers, preside over our societies," etc. I'll wager one of Abe Levy's four-in-hands that back of this statement, explaining it as the height of the bunch of grapes explained Reynard's indifference to their possession lies the fact that Mr. Hervey White has not been considered as an available candidate for Grecian honors (ED.—We think the writer is mistaken in this assertion.) The gentleman's attack upon the right, indisputed by any except those who can never hope to be the caucus nominees of any faction, though limited in number to a single pair, one of whom is the grumbler himself, of any members of individuals to agree upon a time of action, is so weightless as to be refuted by the stating.
As to controlling college papers my experience went that the frat men were the only men who had sand to stand by the Courier or Review. Had these papers been left to the opulence or the public-spiritedness of the barbs, they would long ago have lapsed into a desuetude more innocuous than any of which Grover Cleveland ever dreamed. I have a decidedly vivid recollection of the attempt to start a barb paper in lieu of the
Courier. The barbs abandoned the enterprise and forsook the means of their emancipation and the instrument of their independence with an inglorous and characteristic alacrity with which they usually abandon any scheme where accomplishing involves any mental or financial outlay.
If the frat papers represent the opinions of so ridiculously incongruous a minority as the gentleman alleges, why does not the barbarian majority rise to the dignity of the occasion? This is America, not Russia.
As far as being politicians is concerned, the barbs are notoriously gregarious in nature and carry their hostility to fraternities to an extent which reminds one of Hannibal swearing eternal hatred against the Romans. Of course, there are lots of little Hannibals who hope to be Romans (or Greeks) themselves, some day. Tnese do not swear so loudly; or if they have to, in order to keep fellowship with their fellow barbs, they swear with a mental reservation and get into a fraternity as soon as they can sufficiently disguise their jack-assy beneath the lion's hide of availability.
This much for the gentleman's first paper.
The barbs are notoriously faithful to each other. This is not a fault. It is a virtue, commendable in the highest degree, but fatal to the gentleman's charge of clanni hness and cliqueism on the part of fraternities. Those whose domiciles are of a vivacious fragility should be the last to throw stones. If you will pardon a personal allusion, I have a far-away recollection of being myself a barb candidate once, in the hottest fight ever known in K. S. U. I want to say that no candidate was ever supported with more unsweeping loyalty than was your humble servant. And he was elected, too!
The De Pauw Adz complains bitterly because not more than half the students or professors pay their subscriptions. If the business manager had ever been employed in a like capacity at K.S.U.he would look up on the matter with more indulgence.
We wish the students to remember that the columns of the COURIER are open to everyone. If you wish to express your views upon any matter of interest in University circles, don't hesitate, but send in your copy at once.

The reports in the papers with regard to some of the Pharmacy Boys were entirely uncalled for and not very creditable to the ones who reported them. In gathering notes they should secure them from reliable persons and not from those whose reputation for truth and veracity reminds us of a man who upon being censured for willful exaggeration replied, Yes I know its a conspicuous fault of mine and I've shed barrels of tears on account of it.

The genial wit, Bill Nye, known the world over, says: "In the matter given by Robert McIntire and his original manner of presenting it, I regard his work as wonderful. He held his audience with perfect mastery. We have lecturers and lecturers, but only a favored few who can administer their lectures painlessly and without the use of anesthetics. Robert McIntire is one of these. No one will regret hearing him."

Several of the old students have asked us why we were so severe upon those concerned in the Rho Kappa Tau. In answer, we will say that the COURIER, as the students' paper, can not sanction any apology for hazing, and that it is right that the Alumni and all who are interested in University matters should know that the student-body, as a whole, is not favorable to any such heedless, unfeeling and ungentlemanly conduct as those implicated in this matter have been guilty of.
MARRIED.
Henry Thacher at the Residence of the Bride's Parents, Tuesday Nov. 5, 1889, Mr.
Stuart Henry to Miss. Nellie Thatcher
Miss Nellie Thacher is a prominent young lady in both city and University circles. She graduated from the University in 1884, and was in charge of the class of German for one year and during her stay in the University attracted much attention by the beauty of her character and superior intellectual talent. She has lived in Lawrence all her life and both her friends on Mt. Oread and those in the city are sorry that she must leave them but are consolled by knowing that she has for a protector such an estimable young man as Mr. S. O. Henry.
Mr. Henry is well known to many of our older students. He was in the University for three years and afterwards studied in Germany. He is now secretary of the Colorado Loan and Trust Company and is interested in many large business enterprises in Colorado. Mr. and Mrs. Henry left last Tuesday afternoon for New York. They will spend three months in France and Italy and in Southern Germany. Their future home is in Denver, where Mr. Henry is m business with his brother Mr. T. C. Henry.
Last night the gentlemen of Phi Gamma Delta entertained their friends with one of those pleasant parties which are characteristic of the fraternity. Those present were Misses. Roberts, Webster, Tisdale, Southard, Pennebaker, Hadley, Harrison, Dailey, Beard, Lyons, Maxwell, Nelson and Price. And Messrs. Carson, Butterworth, Curry, Flannelly, Grubb, Fox, Deford, Lewis, McCague, Harper, Smith, Poehler, and Horton.
The article in the Views column of this issue was written by a person who is not in the University at present and who, therefore, is, as he himself states, a total stranger to Mr. White. This is very apparent from the fact that he makes several statements which reflect upon Mr. White's ability as a student and upon the sincerity of his motives in opposing fraternities. Persons thoroughly informed in the matter know that such statements are wholly unwarranted.

Climbing the Golden Stairs.
Mr. L. Charles Miller is off for Salt Lake City, where he will be manager of a branch of the Davidson Loan and Investment Company for Utah. We are sorry to lose Charley, but we assure the people of Salt Lake City that he is as sound and reliable as the company which he represents. This company has been doing a great but conservative business through Southern Kansas for many years. Mr. Miller's many friends here wish him prosperity in his new home - Wichita Eagle.
Charley was in the University during the years 1883-4 and '84-5, and was an active member of the Oread Society and the Sigma Nu Fraternity, but left during the spring of '85 to accept a position with the Davidson Loan Company. Since that time his promotion has been steady and rapid. The Courier extends congratulations.
Bishop Foss.
Bishop Foss' strong and eloquent sermon was highly entertaining and instructive. For an hour and a half he held the closest attention of that vast audience. Among other things he paid a high compliment to the State of Kansas and her glory—her University.
Bishop Foss, of Philadelphia, and the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. of K. S. U., proved to be a wonderfully fine attraction. The chapel was filled Sunday evening from top to bottom.
The singing by a choir of students under the leadership of Dr. Wilcox, added much to the pleasure of the occasion.
The whole affair was eminently successful, and the associations merit the thanks of all.
Robert McIntire.
No.10.
The first lecture in the University course, by Rev. Robert McIntire, of Chicago, more than pleased the large audience that heard it last Friday evening. He took for his subject "Wyandotte Cave," and handled it in a charming and masterly way. He is indeed a prince of orators, and he never proved himself more worthy of the title than when he gave to his common-place subject a fascination and importance never dreamed of before.
The party given by the Sigma Nu last Friday evening formed one of the delightfully successful events in the chapter's history. A dainty supper was served and games and dancing lasted until a late hour. Mrs. Flora Bennett and Mrs. W. H. Sears received, ably assisted by Messrs. Ed. Keys, Sam. Simons, Clare ce Sears and Will Rutter.
Robert McIntire will ever find a hearty welcome at K. S. U.
Sigma Nu Party.
Their beautiful hall was especially decorated for the event.
SCOLDED.
A Just and Humane Punishment of the Deilahs of the K. S. U.
At last the blow has fallen. At last the mighty mandate has been proclaimed and outraged innocence has been vindicated before the world.
Ever since the hilarious shampooing of one Mr. Clark, a reputed Soph. of the K. S. U., the average student has had beneath his tongue one of the sweetest, gossipiest morsels ever mouthed on Mt. Oread's top. Just who the shampoooners were has been something of a mystery. What would be the result, other than the disfiguring of the victim, has been a most fabulous quantity.
It was found, however, that the grand Greek and mysterious shampoons were nothing less than a gallant gang of refined "hazers," and that Mr. Clark, their victim, duped into a false initiation, had been shamefully butted by a wild and woolly goat.
With the news, K. S. U. was afflame with indignation and surprise. Imprecations and revenging wrath smote the air; the Barbs declared war and the Faculty went into council. The whole State of Kansas held up its hands in horror and asked for justice.
The students talked and talked and the Faculty counseled and counseled. Monday morning a decision was reached. All of the participants in the wet-blanket, corn-cob, paintpot, cold-water and shampooing enterprise [an enterprise, by the way, that was eminently successful] were brought ruthlessly before the Faculty and there received—a scolding.
The form of this punishment was posted Tuesday in the balls. It has afforded a wonderful amount of attraction—and fun—for the students.
Desiring to know how the action of the Faculty pleased Mr. Clark and his friends, the Courier quietly circulated itself for that purpose.
Mr. Clark, the innocent victim of the affair, was found standing exultantly by the posted reprimand bearing on his pensive countenance a look of magnanimity that would have melted the veriest imp of Satan. You can imagine the effect on the Courier man.
"So the punishment was sufficiently severe?" ventured the Courier.
"Oh, it's all right, I guess," cheerfully responded the generous fellow.
"Mr. Clark, what do you think of the reprimand?" asked the Courier with suppressed emotions.
"Yes, I think it was. I didn't want to see the boys suspended or expelled. I believe in Christian
charity. If one cheek be cuffed, I can't see why the other shouldn't receive the initiation. No, I propose to be the martyr in this business. If I did loose a bewitching mustache, and if I was branded like the ox for life, I want to do the fair thing with the boys. I believe in fun."
So do we all of us thought the reporter, and as he walked away murmured to himself the praise of so noble a martyr.
The Courier man did not stop here $ _{j} $ but had a few other private conversations. He found that the Hazers were quietly chuckling over the lightness of their punishment, while the Barbs treated the Faculty's decision with utter contempt.
This is a sample of what the COURIER met :
"Punished?" said a prominent Barb. "No one has been punished. I don't consider that reprimand the slightest punishment. It's queer punishment, seems to me, for an act so outrageous."
But 'tis done. Innocence has been shaven of its locks. These withered locks are still in death. Youthful hilarity has shown its nerve and the University its power. The world still moves.

The Kaisan is not very severe upon Rho Kappa Tau. We wonder how the Review will take its stand.
The University ball deserves the patronage of every student. Don't smoke for a month and hoard up your wealth to buy a ticket. All the elite of the U. will be there.
The faculty should fire Clark now.
Last year Worden lost his position because he assisted in the initiation of himself into a gang of "hobos."
And it is but just that Clark should go too. ___
You may hive the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd, unbuckle the belly-band of eternity and let out the sun and moon; but we don't think you can escape the place that lies beyond purgatory if you don't pay for your Courier.
And still we have no Chanceellor.
We believe if the Regents would lay aside their partisan prejudices and seek to do the wisest thing, they would elect Prof. J. H. Canfield at once. ___
The Adelphic, the Orphilian, the Athaeneum, the Kent club, the Excelsior club, the Blackstone club, the Garfield club, and still they are talking up another literary society. Haven't we enough now to speechify and petrify almost any university?
The Hamilton Review for October comments at length upon the new excuse system which has recently been adopted at the Hamilton College. Absence from one-tenth of the assigned exercises in each department is allowed without excuse.
The Review looks upon this system as a step forward in the management of the American College, claiming that a College man, partially, at least, should be master of his own movements in regard to his attendance upon recitations.
The Courier believes that in entering its protest against the system of marking, it voices the sentiments of the majority of the students. We do not suggest anything to the Faculty for a remedy, but we think that their wisdom will devise some other method of grading when they learn that it is a rank injustice to the student to have compulsory attendance, and then at the end of the term put the most rigid examinations upon him. The markings seem to be left to the instructor in charge of the class, and so the grading is entirely different, some grades chiefly by the attendance and recitations, others almost wholly by the final examination. We ask: Is this right?
We wish to call the Faculty's attention to what will soon be of great importance to the students. It is universally desired that the time of special holiday rates on the different railroads will extend over the entire time of vacation. Last year the tickets held good for ten days only, while the vacation extended over seventeen days. This rule proved exceedingly unpleasant to the student who cared to take advantage of the special rates, compelling him to return to school one week earlier than was necessary. We understand that the coming vacation will last over three weeks. The Faculty would do a very acceptable favor if it would use its influence with the railroad companies in such a way as to have their time of the special rates depend upon the length of this vacation. The granting of this request would be a veritable Christmas gift to many a student.
How do you like our new face and form? Something of an improvement, don't you think? The COURIER is determined to please its friends and patrons and merit their support. We especially call the attention of our advertisers to our new dress and purpose. The COURIER shall strive to be their most valuable medium to the needs of the public, while it hopes to remain the most popular paper on the hill.
There are just three things this University ought to have, and it is a matter of serious regret that she hasn't them. They are an Orchestra, a Glee Club and a Mandolin Club. Had we but one of them it would be an honor and credit worthy of the highest praise. Had we all of them, K. S. U. would make an enviable n me among the educational lights of the land.
We are positive that one at least of these organizations could be formed, and we see no reason why all of them could not find a place among the loyal and energetic students of K. S. U.
Just at present there is more hope for the organization of a Glee Club than for the others, and happy promise points to the ultimate success of those who have it in hand. We urge them on in their laudable efforts, and hope for the immediate consummation of their praiseworthy plans.
Let the students take hold of this matter in an earnest and manly way, and K. S. U. will resound with new life.
A petition to the Faculty, praying that the Library be opened during chapel exercises, has been circulated among the Students this week seeking signers.
We are glad to say it hasn't sought in vain. It has found wonderful success, meeting with the quick approval of almost all the Students. The Courier is pleased to see this, for it is a proof that the Students of K. S. U. are moved by the laudable spirit of toleration and common sense. If our University is non-sectarian, and if attendance at chapel is optional, then no department should be subverted or hampered by religious exercises. The Library, as well as every other department of the University, should remain open and operative whether the chapel is in session or not. There are many of the Students who, because of their own personal and unimpeachable reasons, do not care to attend chapel. Is it just or right that they should be refused the incalculable benefits of one department because another department is used by others ?
TO BE OR NOT TO BE.
We believe the Faculty should consider this matter in the light of right, reason and true toleration. With the hundreds who have signed the petition, we ask for rights free to all.
We wish to be understood in what we have said. We do not want it thought that we oppose chapel or religious devotion. Rather, we heartily approve and champion it. But no part of the University should be injured because of it.

The Societies To-night.
Old Orophilian and Athaeneum, in spite of the hopes of many malignant spirits are still alive, resurrected by loyal supporters of every good cause. They have determined to bring back to these old land marks something of their former gilt and glory. The COURIER is with them in their new ambition and hopes to see the re-establishment of these societies, meriting the praise and support of all.
Athaeneum will open with a special program. Prof. Blake will give a talk on "The Ascent of Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii." It promises to be a rare treat of fascinating history. There will also be quartette music.
Orophilian will also have a special program of unusual interest.

The bride is well known in the University and is a member of the Pi Beta Phi fraternity. She is a resident of Lawrence and has hosts of friends both in the town and University, who wish her all the happiness that this world bestows.
Miss Bella Love of this city and Mr. Albert Riffle of Walla Walla, were pleasantly married last Wednesday morning at the Presbyterian church by the Rev. VanPelt.
Mr. Riffle is a member of the class of '84, and was a very prominent student when in the University. He was a member of the old Oread Society and of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He is now engaged in the practice of his profession of civil engineer on the Pacific slope.
Mr. and Mrs. Riffle left last Wednesday evening for Walla Walla, where the Courier will reach them and carry the news of their K. S. U. friends.
Joel T. Howard a student of 18823 and 83-4 and the founder of the University Chapter of Sigma Nu was married on the 30th inst to Miss Eliza Cook of Dallas Texas. Mr. Howard has been the secretary of the Empire Mills of Dallas since leaving the University.

A Bumble bee in the ranks of the grocerymen—that is the combination grocerymen. How amusing it is to see how many there are of our enemies that lock through one side of their spectacles. It will not be long when they will be glad to wear leather spectacles; they can see us just as well; and the shrewd buyer will not even take a glance at the merchant who has moss on his back. I.C.G. goods are having a wonderful effect on the people. We have had calls for the goods in other towns where they boast less of eduational facilities. Right always prevails, and the eyes of the blind are gradually being opened, and when the words I.C.G. will be liped by the last little tot in town you will see a people of wisdom and not a combination of fanatical sore-heads that now represent themselves as business men, who ought to be in some quiet country nook using our I.C.G.Flour mixed with our I.C.G.Baking Powder until his nerves have been quieted sufficiently, so that he can speak in loud praises of the best goods in the world.

Coup D'Etat.
The "Billet Doux" have been conveyed to the waiting maiden by the omnipresent youthful colored person. The answers have been received by the same with obsequious humility and borne with swiftness—(um)—to the expectant youth. Now the time draws near when we shall have attained the acme of our happiness.
Sleepy the next day, did you say? No, sir. We will be wide awake with the ecstatic memory of the fun we had.
And by the way most of the tickets are already sold. We respectfully rise to interpolate and remark that if you want to join in the coming Coup D'Etat, you must take upon yourself at once a Kansas "rustle," buy a ticket, pull down your vest, secure a lady and prepare for an elysium of fun and pleasure.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOV. 22, 1889.
The committee can accommodate you with a ticket, if you can do that much for your pocket-book. You must pull down your own vest and trust in fate for a lady. The rest will come with time.
But don't forget that you will be missed if you are not there.
A Delightful Event.
The Pi Beta Phis have always been famous for the consummate elegance and distinguishing success of their entertainments. If such a thing is possible their last one has added a brighter laurel to their sparkling wreath of feminine wit and beauty.
Last Friday evening they were again the pretty and pleasant enter tainers of over forty couples. A most elegant banquet was served. It was marked by the charming delicaey of the fair ones.
No company ever "tripped the light fantastic toe" with greater joy or heartiness.
This event shall ever remain a radiant one in the social history of K. S. U.
With a complimentary idea as to what is the clever thing, the Phi Psis were the kind entertainers, last Saturday evening, of Prof. F. W. Blackmar at the festal board. It was a pleasant reception to a most popular Professor. Though Prof. Blackmar has hardly begun his work in K. S. U., he is to-day one the best liked members of the Faculty.
Prof. Blackmar Banqueted.
The Prof. responded to a toast full of praise and hope for the University. Others were given by Profs. Sterling, Dunlap, Wood, of Baldwin, Dr. Esterly, vice-chancellor, Spangler and editor Frank Webster.

GEORGE W. CABLF.
The opera house was filled last Wednesday evening with the flower of Kansas culture, the best in the world because the last. It was there to greet and welcome the distinguished novelist of the Sunny South Geo. W. Cable. It did, and showed him a Western hospitality that rivaled his own.
Mr. Cable took for his entertainment a series of selections from his famous novel, Dr Severe. In them he very charmingly presented the manner and dialect of the Creole, a character in whose delineation Mr. Cable stands without a peer. He gives it a curious charm and oddity that is strikingly fascinating. His quiet wit and humor, dialect and traits were portrayed in such a way that they were irresistably pleasing. Other characters were presented, showing Mr. Cable's wonderful power in the painting of human life and things. Indeed he gave to them so much natural feeling and dramatic spirit that each one was indelibly impressed upon the minds of all. Mr. Cable's brilliant efforts were heartily received with generous applause. All were highly entertained and more than pleased.
It was the pleasant fortune of the Courier to meet Mr. Cable. We "found" him at the opera house quietly waiting for the moment when Commander-in-chief John Mushrush would start the prelude and ring the bell for the curtain.
He seemed glad to receive the Courier man as a representative of K. S. U. and its journalism. After Mr. Cable had made several very felicitious remarks about the University and its publications, the Courier man gently introduced the business of his visitation.
"What has been your field of work and where are you going?" began the Courier.
"I come directly from the Middle states and am on my way to the coast," very pleasantly answered the novelist.
"This is about your fourth lecture tour, is it not?" ventured the Courier.
"You missed it by one. This is my fifth."
"And it is the pleasantest one?"
"Yes, I believe it it is," and the black eyes of the author seemed to glow with greater interest. "Yes each tour has increased in the pleasure of the preceeding one. My friends seem to grow in number each year. No, I don't feel like a stranger in a strange land. There is a cordiality and welcome in the North and west that charms me. I like it.
"You have other engagements in this state" we asked with as much politeness as rich impertinence would permit.
"No Sir, this is my only one." I go directly to Denver from here.
"But you have been in Kansas long enough to pass an opinion upon her? What do you think of her."
"That she is a most wonderful state," quickly responded the affable lecturer. "Yes, a wonderful state. Her resources must be immense. When I compare her with the south, the contrast is startling. Such tremendous tracts of unoccupied or at least of untillable land is simply wonderful to me. I am startled at the future of your state as I am with all the west."
Just then Manager Mushrush came rushing in with information that everything was waiting and ready for the introduction of the speaker. That meant no more "interview" for the Courier man. He consequently suddenly disappeared, hearing the pleasant good-bye of the famous Southern.
During all of this short, but exceedingly pleasant conversation, Mr. Cable was faultlessly courteous and kind. We found him freely approachable and attentive to every consideration. This was nothing less than an over flowing of that Southern hospitality and good-will which marks the man who lives across the Dixie line. Besides this Mr. Cable showed the polish of fine intellect and gentleonly culture. The Courier, for one, will not forget George W. Cable.
The Coming Contest.
The State Oratorical Association convention met last Friday at Emporia. The majority of colleges sent representatives, and everything was made complete and satisfactory.
Arrangements were made for the next contest to be held in Lawrence next month. The following judges were selected: On Delivery, Ware of Fort Scott; Bowers, of Peabody, and Fenlon, of Leavenworth. On Thought and Composition, Ray, of Topeka; Benson, of Ottawa, and Johnson, of Garnett.
Jus. Bowersock, the delegate from K. S. U., in conversation with a COURIEER man, said: "Washburn is very confident of winning, and the other colleges of the state were almost ready to accord her the victory. Baldwin is not at all sanguine over her prospects, and seems content to take a back seat in the oratorical rivalry."
"I think," continued Mr. Bowersock, "that Washburn is the only opponent that K. S. U. needs to fear, and that it will only be by the greatest exertions on the part of the orators that we can win."
But win we must, and will if the right students seize this Gordian knot with an immortal determination to win.

The literary societies on the hill are showing new life and vigor and may be it will last but we doubt it, there are too many of them, and the forces necessary to make one good society over scattered through three or four.
The departments in the "U." should receive more notice than they have received here-to-fore and it is our intention to publish a typical college paper giving each department the mention that is due to it and slighting none.
The state oratorical contest will be held in Lawrence some time in February and we must not be beaten on our own ground. There is enough talent in the "U." and if we do not win, woe unto us for Washburn is ready to crow. It rests upon you, Orators of K. S. U. whether we shall be slaves or free, rise and assert your superiority over Washburn's fire and bombastic oratory.
THE "make up" of the Courier last week surprised you didn't it? Well, we did introduce something of a change into the monotony of college journalism and we intend that it shall happen every now and then. The old stereotyped forms and ways of presenting college news should be broken, and we propose to do it. No matter if "Miss —— or Mr. —— was on the hill last week" we can present the news in at least a happier form and make it a little more interesting.
The departments of the University are so crowded in their present quarters that it is almost imperatively necessary that the coming legislature should make some provision or appropriation rather, which would enable the different departments of the University to have more room for their classes. The art department is in quarters which are so very small that the number of the class must be constricted. The law department does not occupy the room in the university, that its growing fame throughout the state requires. The Pharmacy department has not the necessary room nor the requisite number of professors. And even some of the regular collegiate classes have been compelled to meet in Snow Hall. This is the case. Tis true. We look to our legislators to remedy it by making an appropriation sufficient to build a library building which can also contain the Art department. By this the valuable room which is taken at present in the collegiate building proper would become an inestimable acquisition to the collegiate Faculty and students. The library has long needed a separate building and the Art department would find more congenial quarters there than in the old regents room in which they are now located. It is a howling shame and we make our objections known. Ye solons, when ye next meet please consider this and give the university what is justly her due.
The practice that Baldwin university has of sending out ministers to cry down K. S. U. as a rank infidel school and one that is most atheistical in its teachings merits the strongest condemnation. The faculty of our university are almost all members of some denominational church, education in this university is in unceased neither for nor against the religious beliefs, and then to have ministers from the pulpit denounce K. S. U. as agnostical, infidel and atheistical is a little too much, and we would advise Baldwin in her quest for pupils to deal with the truth and see if she does not profit by it.
Watch for the Courier next week You'll want to see it and keep it.
MR. CLEMENT MORGAN enjoys the distinction of being the first colored man that has ever held class honors at Harvard College. He is the choice of the Senior class for the prominent position of orator on class day. This honor is not conferred upon him because he is a colored man and as a gift to an inferior race but as an honor for which his worth and work has ably fitted him. The orator is taken as the standard by which to judge the broad scholarship and elocutionary attainments of the class And in Mr. Morgan's case the class simply desired to get the best to represent them. No one in Harvard doubts that he will honor the class of 100 unless it be his own modest self.
Robert Downing.
A cultured and appreciative audience witnessed last Monday evening the performance of "White Pilgrim" as presented by Robert Downing and his splendid company.
Notably attive was the elaborate box party of the Sigma Chis. All the boxes were occupied and the beauty and gallantry presented was the cause of not a few compliments. Mr. Downing's conception of his part was originally striking, faultless in detail and charming in full. He was ever conscientious and merited the hearty applause given him.
Robt Downing though but a young man on the stage, is fast following the footsteps of his distinguished colleagues, Booth, Barret and Jefferson. The part taken by Miss Eugenia Blair was fervently sustained throughout.
She showed with remarkable effect her matchless beauty and charm of person. It is said that she is the most beautiful woman on the American stage. It is possible. At least we are unable to recall her superior.
The only fault we can find is in the play itself. It seemed weak in unity of plot and appointment, and far beneath the master hands that but succeeded in giving it life.
In our humble opinion such exceptional ability as is possessed by Miss Blair and Mr. Downing should seek some higher, broader realm of action and presentation.

WEEKLY FEAST.
When Oread Serves Her Wit and Wistom, Life and Learning.
As was predicted the societies last Friday evening ran full and over with the old time fire and fervor. The attendance for once was pleasantly large and each student came with the determination to give to his society the strength and vigor of life. All the programs were faithfully prepared and ably presented. It is hoped that this is but the good beginning of what is to be a series of profitable literary meetings. Any thing else will be puerility itself, unworthy the notice of a careful student. But if continued, such creditable efforts will surely be productive of great good to K. S. U.
Athaenum's special meeting was a decided success. Prof. Blakes talk on Mt. Versuvius and Pompeii was exceedingly interesting and instructive. The exercises of members were creditably good. One of the chief features of the entertainment was the quartette singing by Messrs. Clarence and Walter Sears, Elmer Engle and Bert Smith. They were heartily applauded and encored.
Orophilian held an interesting meeting that gave promise of better things. And the Adelphic began its work in an earnest way, just such a way that is certain of long life and good work. The debate in Adelphic was especially interesting.
The programs of the Philological, society, Science Club, Kent Clnb and German society were as usual pleasant and edifyin g.
TO NIGHT.
The feast to-night promises to be just as full and edible sa it was a week ago. You'll not regret it a bit if you speak for a plate.
Orophilian will be entertained by one of Dr. Wilcox immitatable talks.
Athaeum will listen to Prof. Miller, and more music by the Oread Quartette.
The Adelphic has prepared an interesting program. This question will be debated: Resolved, That the gas and fire systems should be owned by the city.
The Historical Seminary presents a splendid program this evening. Questions of labor: Finance, government and politics will be thoroughly discused.
Kent Club will as usual hold one of her rattling warring meetings The Laws run things in a decidedly interesting way.
There will be no meeting of the Science Club until after Thanksgiving.

MY OPINION.
A Place for Public Expression of the Various Minds of K, S, U.
EDITOR OF THE COURRIER:—Having noticed in your paper that the Views column is open to all students for the purpose of fighting their real or imaginary wrongs, I hereby embrace the opportunity of entering a protest against the unjust and uncalled for attack made by the Kansan of last week on the minority of mock initiators who did not meet the faculty on Monday last. If the honorable gentleman who wrote that pretty piece of hog-wash wished to bring everyone to justice, why did he not take it upon himself to notify all the initiators that there might be a meeting of the faculty at some time for the purpose of punishing the offenders, and if they wished to be considered honorable by him, they had better take board on the hill and be in readiness to take the consequences of so horrible a crime? It is a fact that the meek and subdued students who have been crushed by the pen of this youth knew nothing whatever about an open meeting of the faculty at the end of the fourth hour; some of them had heard a vague rumor to that effect on Friday, and nothing more.
The faculty was perfectly satisfied with the individual excuses of the students for non-attendance at the meeting, and for this highly honorable and beardless youth to take it upon his broad shoulders to censure a body of students from falling from the throne of grace and high moral plane upon which he stands, is, to say the least, rather presumptuous. When the students of K. S. U. sin so rapidly that their recording angels will have to take to short-hand, then it will be time for Mr. P. B. Publican to step in and help them out. The next time the gentleman in question wishes to bring to justice some refractory student, I hope his high sense of honor and right will prompt him to look into the case a little before he takes up his versatile pen. W. T. B.

The Review comes out in a local this month against the noise it is alleged that the laws make in the library. The local editor on the Review must have been hard pressed for something to fill up with and jumped at conclusions, as investigation will prove the greater part of the noise to be traceable to the collegiate students who occupy the library. The laws as a class are going through by their own efforts. Consequently have not the time to squander that the collegiates have who are depending on paternal ancestors.

THE GREAT MISSIONARY OF THE WEST. A QUIET POINTER:
The Enemy of High Prices! The Lover of Liberty! The Up-builder of CREDITS!
I. C. G.
A Bumble-bee in the ranks of the grocery-men—that is the combination grocery-men. How amusing it is to see how many there are of our enemies that lock through one side of their spectacles. It will not be long when they will be glad to wear leather spectacles; they can see us just as well; and the shrewd buyer will not even take a glance at the merchant who has moss on his back. I. C. G. goods are having a wonderful effect on the people. We have had calls for the goods in other towns where they boast less of edu cational facilities. Right always prevails, and the eyes of the blind are gradually being opened, and when the words I. C. G. will be lisped by the last little tot in town you will see a people of wisdom and not a combination of fanatical sore-heads that now represent themselves as business men, who ought to be in some quiet countr y nook using our I. C. G. Flour mixed with our I. C. G. Baking Powder until his nerves have been quieted sufficiently, so that he can speak in loud praises of the best goods in the world.

HA, HA, HA!
Who Make the Fun in K. S. U.—A Rattling Company of Talented Comedians who Play to Crowd ed Houses every Where.
K. S. U. is a funny place. It is famous for that. History has recorded it. It is always funny. But it has its periodic spells of extreme hilarity. Halloween is considered to be the happiest occasion for the genial flow of her matchless humor. Then the world holds her sides for laughter. But close following this auspicious event is the time when she becomes a yelling circus for practical jokers. Hazing is then her chiefest sport. Why then this universe and diverse other roar with the noise of fun and merriment.
But to be more personally pointed. We purpose to hunt up the makers of the "funny fame" of K. S. U. There's a host of them. We have the fenny man in every shape, the humorist, the joker, the fool the guy, the jay and last, but not the least, the ancient bore. Some are good, some are tolerable, some are unbearable. So we must, for the sake of limb and life, use the pruning knife.
Just who shines with the brightest lustre in this galaxy of humorous lights is not the easiest matter in the world to decide. No one seems to stand head and shoulders above the common multitude. Applause is divided, and wit and humor has no mighty leader in K. S. U. "Tis sad, 'tis true. But it was not always so. There was a time when bubbling fun came laughing, tumbling down the classic hill side like little Freshhes on a cold and icy day. Ev'n it seems but yesterday when all of K. S. U. stood giggling at the feet of White. But since the versatile Will made his exit from this stage of the comedy, K. S. U. has been one riotious roar of the headless herd. No star has risen to dim the nebulous mass.
Rivaling Mr. Esterly is the continuous flow of fun from the pointed tongue and artistic mind of E Ber Smith. His sense of the ridiculous is keenly original. His wit never ceases, but flows right on. He can't tell a killing story and make an awfully funny picture. Withal Bert is one of the most popular men in K. S. U.
For rollingick drollery none, perhaps, are better known than Tom Hunt. His fun bubbles forth as
But that star is coming. It now illuminates the horizon. Some say that now in the sky of K. S. U. it is seen to shine. But look in the list below and then say.
Undoubtedly the one who by right stands first as a pleasantly witty and merry fellow is Mr Ed Esterly, the popular member of the Junior class. His wit is true and his jokes are worth the telling. He makes you laugh and you feel you are not a fool when you have done it. In all his fun he is manly and shows the parts of a gentleman.
naturally as a spring from the hill side. In his classes his uncontrolable humor is the cause of no little disorder.
For a capital story teller, L. C. Poehler hasn't an equal and hardly a rival. His stock in store is tremendous and he presents them in a way that is irresistable. Funny? Why, he can tell a story that will make you laugh for a year. He is an actor too and he brings these powers into good use whenever needed. Always go to Poehler for a roaring joke or a story. Closely following is W. A. Foster of the Laws, who is becoming as famous as Lincoln as a story-teller.
A jolly match for the two above is Jim Challis. When Jim wants to be he can be the funniest fellow imaginable. Tell a side splitting story, say the absurdest things, Jim is a comedian.
But by odds the most delicate of wits and generous of humorists in the whole University is Frank Hutchins. His conception and appreciation of the rediculous is something marvelous. And when it comes to down right wit and humor, Frank possesses a remarkable ability. His jokes are as fresh as new-mown hay, his repartee as brilliant as the modern Philippic, and his humor as peaceful and calm as the Niagara. Everybody laughs at Frank. They can't help it. Try it and be convinced.
Jim Cooper and Frank Hodges are two of the best practical jokers that have come to K. S. U. for some time. They keep the Laws in a fit of laughter continually. They have even painted themselves to death-like paleness and pretended, in the most serious fashion, that they were very, very sick and every body believed it too. But just about the time cold water and a hack had been procured, their illness suddenly left them. Then, how they would grim. Cooper is sometimes abbed to punning. One of his recent formations in this line, we happened to overhear, "I was Keene to go to the last show, but things keep Downing my pocket-book so that I didn't go to the last." The doctor was called at once.
And by the way did you know that K. S. U. was one mass of irresistible punsters? In everything from Prof. to Prep. some one is hunting for a pun. And what ridiculous things are made and heartlessly pushed into the world! When we think about it, its a wonder the world don't die sometimes.
In hunting for best examples of the truest humor, we can find none who can transend the Hickey boys, M. C. and E. C. Their fun is the most kindly and generous possible. Quick to retort themselves, they never loose their temper when made the butt of the most unmerciful jokes. They are good, jolly, funny fellows and every body likes them.
It will be seen that we have confined our remarks to the students only. Not because the Profs. aren't funny fellows, but because they deserve distinct and especial mention Besides the students included in the "funny list" above, there are many others equally deserving of mention here, but space will not permit of it at this time. But enough has been given to prove conclusively that K. S. U. is not so dark and drear and dead as some have thought.
DELIGHTFUL.
Was the Most Distinguished Event in the Social History of Kansas State University.
Where her Wit, Wisdom and Beauty
Worehiped at the Happy Shrine
of Terpsichore.
At last the long hoped for time arrived and all the gallantry and culture of K. S. U. was to be seen in lovely array. Though the weather was inclement, yet Frazer hall was filled to overflowing. No one was disappointed. The anticipations of all were more than realized and all were glad to be in such a joyous atmosphere. When at nine o'clock the famed music of the Riverside Mandolin Club began the melodious strains of the Insidor march, composed by the leader of the orchestra, Prof. R. A Saunders, the scene became at once a joyous and happy train of fair maidens and courteous youths, who trod in lively grace after the accomplished Mr. Voorhis and Miss McMillen who led the march and by whose guidance the evening was given a remarkably successful and aauspicious opening. The evening sped with winged feet through the following program of dances; Waltz, Quadrille, Polka, Schottisch, Waltz, Newport, Lanciers, Waltz, Scottische, Polka, York Quadrille, Polka, ending with a Medley. The prompter of the evening was the popular and well known Prof. Reinholtz of the dancing academy who deserves much credit for the difficult evolutions and ever changing forms through which he led the mazy quadrilles by his succint and clear directions.
The enjoyment of the evening was marred by nothing and when finally the ball was ended, all departing bore a feeling of kindness and gratitude toward the Committee. Prof. A J. Canfield, Chas Voorhis, F. H. Kellogg and Russ Whitman under whose management the ball was made to be such a successful one.
The Courier vainly endeavored to secure the names of those present but owing to the crowded hall its efforts were futile.
Many of the students of K. S. U. took part in the tournament given last Saturday afternoon by the members of the Lawrence Bicycle Club. The natural inference is that they came out on top, with victory perched proudly upon their banners. Gentleman, the conclusion is correct correct, sir. They did most decidedly, sir.
K. S. U. Wins.
The following K. S. U. boys took prizes; Eugene Caldwell, J. E. Ulrigh, J. M. Noble, N. C. Brooks, J. F. Noble, E. E. Wilson, E. Moore and Frank Moore.
This is another proof that K. S. U. possesses no mean athletic powers. It inspires the belief that with but little training K. S.' U. would be
fully able to meet any fee in a manly contest for physical supremacy. It is another reason too why the students of K. S. U. should yell for a gymnasium, and-and- should have gone to the Ball.
The 90's Entertained.
The class of '90- the dignified Seniors of K, S. U.- were very pleasantly entertained last Friday evening at the hospitable home of Miss Marcella Howland. Every member of the class joined in the happy occasion.
A delicious supper was served one course of which was called "Literary Salad" the bright idea of the hostess in which each person was given a popular quotation with the command to name its author. Of course the talented Seniors proved themselves masters of the task—after due thought and consultation.
No.12.
The evening quickly fled in music, games and conversation. Miss Howland is a charming hostess and entertainer and the class of '90 will remember this happy event of their history.
There were present: Misses Dunn, Bartell, Fellows, Goodell, Sutliff, Reasoner, and Taggart: and Messrs. Bear, Armstrong, Brewster, Burney, Esterly, Hill, Liddeke, Hensnail, Musbrush, Pickering, Slosson, Reynolds, Williamson and Watson.
A Pleasant Musicale.
Last Saturday afternoon the young ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta were agreeably entertained at the beautiful home of Mrs. Walter Howe. A delightful musicale was given by the fraternity. Each pretty performer showed the skill and execution of an artist., and more than that, the superior attainments for which the Kappas are deservedly famous.
The fraternity has chosen My thology for its next study and Prof-Wilcox will begin the discussion of the interesting subject.
Their Seventh Anniversary
Their Seventh Anniversary.
Last Saturday Phi Delta Theta of K. S. U. celebrated her seventh anniversary. The costomy banquet was served where witty and fraternal toasts formed the principal course in the bill of fare. What with songs, speeches and fun of every kind, a most enjoyable evening was spent, fittingly ending a prosperous year for Phi Delta Theta.
The informal party given by the Sigma Chis, last Monday evening in honour of the Misses St. John and O heltree, of Olathe, was in every way a most pleasant affair. The Sigma Chis have few rivals as entertainers.
Messrs. Field & Hargis desire to express their thanks through the columns of the Courier, to the students and wish them all a happy vacation at home.

THE thieves in K. S. U. should be expelled. One may pick up some one elses books or change over-shoes by mistake, and there has been a sufficiency of this changing too. But when your gloves and mufflers suddenly disappear, such mistakes become very wearisome. Many is the moan we hear from the student whose riffled pockets tell a pitiful tale. But this is a serious matter. If personal property is not secure in the halls of so good and glorious an institution as K. S. U. then something is lamentably wrong with the human race; at least with the Kansas part of it. There was a time when the Faculty kept a policeman to walk the halls and keep a careful watch over each coat and hat and glove and muffler and shoe in K. S. U. It looks decidedly as if that time was returning. At least it is time for a change. The thieves and
pick-pockets of K. S. U. must stop being so very,very funny.No one is going to laugh at them any longer. The students are becoming extremely tired of being robbed.Either the Faculty will have to take hold of this matter or the students will Something must be done.
THANKSGIVING is here again'and with it comes the time honored vacation. As this time of general rejoicing draws near it behoves us individually and collectively as students of K.S.U.to look around us for the reasons why we should send long and devout thanksgivings heavenward.
There is an element among us, to mention the name now would be an unpardonable offence, which is bound by the most sacred obligations to show, by every manifestation of joy, their appreciation of the services of an all protecting Providence (and Prof. Robinson) in their behalf. The Barbs should find grounds for exultation in the young but vigorous offspring of their zeal and industry, the Adelphic literary society. The birth of their dear one has been attended by the most auspicious circumstances but they have taken upon themselves the grave responsibility of proving what they have so often confidentently asserted, i.e., that the fraternity element is detrimental to the best interests of such an organization.
Athenaeum is to be congratulated upon the fact that at a recent session there was a sufficiently large number present to inspire Bro. Mushrush to such an extent, that after the doors had been locked and double bolted, he was able to make a very creditable speech in favor of the lecture course. The irrepressible exultation of the frat boys breaks forth in one continuous sound of praise when they consider that the first of January, the time when their respective landlords must be appeased, is several weeks distant.
The members of K. A. T., K. K. G. and P. B. P. are longing for their expected sisters and their joy is ill concealed at the prospect of the advent of the new sorosis. Everything considered, the reasons for our thanksgiving are many; but perhaps the fact upon which we are to be the most congratulated is that "Bess" has been discovered in the person of H. F. Hadley and that this remarkable "find" has prevented the publication of more of her contributions in the Kansan.
SUBSCRIBE for the Courier.
Side walks- Side walks. Some of the side walks in this benighted town are extremely aged and should be removed at once. If the town does not replace them with new ones there should be an upheaval by the students.
WHERE have politics flown? Peace and Plenty of societies, reign on the Hill.
THAT the university needs more room is very evident. A new building on the Hill, while a great adomment would be of greater use.
Our change in the time of our issue is due to the fact that many of the students who desire to go home Thanksgiving have intimated that they would be pleased if the Courier came out on Wednesday. So here it is.
The Spirit of the old Oread literary society is still on the hill. Transmigration is possible and Atheneum seems to have much of the life and vim, fire and vigor of Oread inasmuch as it is utterly unwilling to say die but Phoenix like, resucted itself from the tomb of oblivion and is now an extremely lively corpse- but its pulse wasbeating low last Friday evening.
THE COURIER takes a goodly supply of wind to run it but it can not subsist on that diet wholly, for it needs a stronger article of food to assist in searching forthe ubiquitous item. So we hope and pray that we may be able to give thanks for the blessings received, in the shape of circular coins, valued at one dollar each, in payment for the COURIER, from every subscriber who has failed to remit before. No baled nay, husked pumpkins, old clothes or excuses will be taken.
The University ball was a grand and enchanting success, both as a social event and as a financial enterprise and did more for K. S. U. brotherly spirit than the most sanguine could have dreamed. When the fraternities realize that college spirit should be the main spirit instead of narrow contracted fraternity partiality, then there can be another ball which shall eclipse this one as much as it has eclipsed the former effort at Pan Hellenic feeling, i.e., the "Jug Hellenic:" the first attempt in K. S. U. by the Greeks to have genuine interfraternity good fellowship.
At the next meeting of the Kansas Academy of Language and Art to be held at Topeka next Friady and Saturday, K. S. U. will be eminently represented. Ir Dunlap will read one paper on "The Element of Beauty in Wordsworth," and another on "American Dialects;" one by Dr. Wilcox on "Homer and the Bible;" and one, Miss Mary Simpson on Art. An interesting meeting is expected, and it is assured if the rest of the program is as good as that given above.
K. 8. U. at the Top.
THE FORUM.
Where Is Displayed the Learning and Eloquence of Kansas State University.
The "feast of reason and flow of soul" at the U. last Friday evening did not seem to be as bountiful and hearty as the week before. It seems to require a "powerful lot" of stimulant to even induce the students to come to the meetings. This is a deplorable fact if true. The students should be loyal to the societies be because of the great good there is in them. Let it be remembered that the success of every society depends entirely upon each member's individual effort. Then will follow the individual good. In no other way is the existence of a literary society possible. In no other way does such a society fulfill the ends sought for.
The Adelphic had the largest attendance of any society on the hill and presented by far the best literary program. It was simply an old fashioned literary lyceum, presented in the good old fashioned way, a way that bears the marks of a generation gone, but better for all that. The future of the Adelphic is secure because each member is sowing the seed for a harvest that each member will reap. There will be no monopolizing, self binders there, but earnest individual labor by the honest hands of toil.
Orophilian's meeting was undoubtedly the best one she has had this year. Dr. Wilcox's talk on Yale was attentively listened to by a large number of students. The Doctor's talk was exceedingly entertaining and the students were liberal in their praise and applause. And following the talk the society rendered a splendid literary program. Orophilian has again started up hill. It would be a moral wrong to let her slide back. Remember only a little pulling will place her on top.
The Historical Seminary held its meeting at 4 o'clock. The program was rendered without a failure and again it proved an entertaining means of much valuable information. This organization is worth a thousand such literary Societies as adorn the hill.
Poor Athenaeum! Her lamp of life is indeed growing dim. Again she failed to materialize, notwithstanding that Prof. Miller was posted for a talk. Prof. Miller remained true to his promised favor, but Atheueaeum, shame on her!—did not have the energy or respect to receive Prof. Miller with a quorum! If Atheneum hasn't enough manly fellows to greet and welcome a speaker when once engaged, she should be forthwith led to the woods for grass. For mercy sake let her prove to the world that she is either alive or dead. One or the other at once
The Kent Club held an interesting meeting, although the attendance was not as large as usual because of the drawing powers of
the recently organized Blackstone Club. But it is evident that it is still alive, and that is encouraging for organizations in K. S. U.
The Pharmaceutical Society rendered an interesting program. The attendance was good.
So endeth the list of those who prepare the weekly feast at K. S. U.
Athenaeum vs Orophilian.
The Athenaeum and Orophilian Literary Societies, held special meetings last Monday. They made arrangements for a literary contest to be held Dec. 12. Athenaeum selected her representatives as follows: President for the occasion, Clarence H. Sears; Orator J. H. Mushrush: Declaimer, Harold Barnes and Debaters, H. S. Hadley and R. D. Brown.
Orophilian: Orator, H. F. Roberts Declaimer, Irene Weeb; Debaters, W. W. Brown and E. L. Ackley.
A committee to arrange a musical program has also been appointed. For once it seems possible that K. S. U. will present a creditable program. This is a splendid opportunity for the Societies to redeem and distinguish themselves. If they do not, well, let their graves be dug.
Those young sprigs, who circulated themselves so assiduously among the young ladies with the view of engaging all their dances on the previous day to the ball, exhibited to the best advantage those qualities which they possess in common with the razor backed porker. It is to be deplored that among our students who on the whole are so courteous and decorous, there is still a certain class upon whom the light of social culture has not shed sufficient radiance to dispel the mist of ignorance of common usage in which they are enueloped.

Cooper went home Saturday to remain until after Thanksgiving.
Foster will occupy his vacation looking up authorities and reading cases for his moot-court case.
The young ladies of this department are making arrangements to organize a Mandolin club. Look out for a serenade soon.
Miss A. Wynne was absent from her classes on Monday.
Hodges will give thanks with his girl in Olathe.
Junior moot-court will not come off this afternoon as expected. So many of the little boys went home, it was found necessary to postpone it until Tuesday.
The Kent Club, as usual had a good program last Friday evening. The paper on history by Mr.Russ was especially interesting and instructive. It is a noticeable fact that all of the members are not taking the interest that they should. It is remored that the lack of interest is because the Club does not move down town. This should not be. Because a majority of the members prefere to meet at the University. We should not play baby and say if we can,t have our own way we won't play. It is our place as men interested in our own wellfare to unite and make the Kent Club a success.
The students of the harmony classes have escaped all examinations through the kindness of Prof. McDonald. They will be graded according to each day's recitation, and if any fall behind, they will have the pleasure of stepping out of the class.
STRAINS FROM THE HILL.
Several from this department attended the Usher Guard Ball, Friday evening, and all report a good time.
Miss Park is able to resume her work this week.

SKULL AND BONES.
Prof. Dyche is expected to return within a few days.
The Geological cases in Snow hall are almost completed. They will add greatly to the appearance in the Geological museum.
Prof. Stevens is working on an entomological collection, both early and late. Prof. Stevens is one of the most conscientious wokers in the U.
Eames has been busied lately in mounting small skeletons. He has mounted twenty-one thus far. A small skeleton, he says requires from two to three times the care and labor to mount correctly, that a large one does. Everything is being made ready for active work as soon as Prof. Dyche returns.
EASEL AND PALLET.
Miss Fullerton will visit in Atchison during Thanksgiving vacation.
Miss Clara Manley has been posing for the evening class in painting. The class has finished the study in Cheysanthemums and are now drawing interiors.

Peckham will be the guest of Hi Adams during vacation.
Fiegenbaum will occupy his time during vacation in testing the purity of water.
Miss Grabe left Tuesday for her home in Beatrice Nebraska.
Prof. Sayre addressed the Y.M.
C. A. last Friday evening.
The meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society Friday evening was an exceptionally interesting one. The review on the life of R. Rother read by Miss Grabe was one of the principal parts of the program, in, that it presented to the minds of the students, a man who was successful in life, faithful to his profession, and influence in the Pharmaceutical world can not be questioned. Would that we had more such men.
The Senior class pins are on the way, but will not arrive in time for the boys to show them to the naives when they go home to-morrow.
Gibson was to aid in the musical program for Athenaeum. But the audience that they looked for never came.
Did you ever try it? It is a healer and destroyer of every skin disease possible. It will cure chapped hands and sore lips and knock into an infinite nonentity every freckle that dares to seek a habitation on a persons face.
