Ed. Allen expects a visit from his father, mother, sister, brother, two uncles, a cousin, and an aunt very soon. He has thrown away his cigars, and will spend the week in fasting, and attending the Y. M. C. A. No wonder his classic features assume a careworn expression.

He has made a successful examination, both mentally and physically, and is at this time domiciled at the Academy. Another K. S. U. student at the front.
Some of the Pharmies seem to have no more manners than country jays at a district literary society. At the last meeting of the Pharmaceutical society a member of the Parmacy department accompanied a young lady there, and on leaving after the meeting was over several individuals, with rowdy tendencies, followed them, with insulting remarks. Shame on such cussedness.
Pref. Perry of Boston is one of the 3rd pianists in the country. He not only plays wish consummate skill and beauty, but also by a few well chosen words enables his hearers to understand the composers and appreciate their works.
The State Journal has this ro say of a former student: "P. L.

Taylor, Voohis, Bowersock, Butterworth, Flannelly, Riggs, Horton, Lewis, Hadley and John Spencer.
The Sophomores were in high spirits las tweek. Their canes arrived and on Friday they marched to the University with their canes and their raw class colors. They intended to attend chapel but got there to late, and so they marched up and down the halls in state. Finally the rest of the students organized a rush and endeavored to relieve the '92's of their canes, a lively scrimmage ensued in which the Sophs came off victorious. Talk about class spirit, the "Junyahs" are nowhere.
Prof. Blake is working hard to build up a practical machine shop in connection with his department of Electrical Engineering. A varied supply of machine tools has been purchased as we mentioned last week, and the course will be arranged so that every student in Electrical Engineering will have practical machine work, as in any ordinary machine shop. This is a practical necessity, as a thorough knowledge of mechanical engineering, under lies the work of the electrician.
THE SEMINARY.
An Interesting Address by Prof. J.H.Canfield on "The Race Problem."
A large audience, among whom were several representatives of the colored race, assembled at the Political Science Seminary at the University last Friday evening. Prof. Blackmar presided. Reviews of the current magazines were given by E. Esterly and I. H. Morse. Domestic Events by Miss Spencer. Mrs. Bowersock followed with a carefully prepared paper on Public Debt.
The closing paper was by J. H. Canfield, on The Race Problem from the Negro Standpoint. This essay was remarkable for its directness and clearness and showed a thorough study and comprehension of this most serious problem. Prof. Canfield's conclusions may be condensed as follows: First, the negro maintains that he did not come here of his own accord, but was brought here against his will. Second, he believes that he must remain where he is placed; his labor is needed there and no other country desires him. Transportation is impracticable. Theo too, he is an American and a citizen, and as such is entitled to certain rights. He does not ask for inter-marriage or social equality. He only asks five things: First, he asks for equality in securing a fair trial. This he does not have now as the terrible frequency of lynchings testifies Second, he asks for equality in sentence after conviction. Third, he asks adequate protection of life and property Fourth, he asks equality in public education. Fifth, he asks equality in facilities of transport, in hotels, and in places of public amusement and instruction. The line in these places should be drawn at cleanliness and decency not at color. More than this he does not demand; no citizen has a right to demand more.
Unity Club.
Mr. B. W. Woodward's paper on "Balzac and Thackery" before this club next Monday night will be well worth hearing. Mr. Woodward is an excellent critic and has a happy faculty for putting the results of his reading in an attractive form. Students of English Literature will find it a very helpful way of spending the evening. Unity Club always welcomes those who care to attend.
Bishop Cyrus D. Foss will deliver the anniversary sermon before the College Y. M.C.A. November 10, in the University Chapel at 8 p.m.
Wednesday afternoon Miss Edaa Maxwell gave a very plausant lunch party to a number of her friends. One of the enjoyable features of the occasion was progressive conundrum guessing, in which Miss Josephine March gained the prize for excellence and Miss May Russell was given the consolation prize. Those present were Miss Mina Marvin, Miss Joe March, Mrs. Grovenor, Misses Price, Anna McKinnon, May Webster, Lallie Buckingham, Kate and Julia Powell, Nan Love, Helen Webber, Grace Southard, Harriot, Eva Headley, May Russell, Etta Hadley, Mame Tisdale, Helen Sutliff, Mabel Haskell, Eva Harrison.
Sunday Nov. 3, at 4 p.m.a special meeting will be held at the Y. M.C.A. rooms, and a personal invitation is extended to students who are not in the habit of attending these meetings. Come and bring your friends.

The German Club.
This isn't its name, but is white man for it. Connected with the study of the German language in the University, Prof. Carruth has instituted a club which meets weekly to converse, read and declaim in German. There is little formality, and but one rule, namely; all talking must be carried on in German. A reporter was inveigled into the room last Friday night where this club met, and is authority now on all matters of German philology or literature. From "Guten abend" to a declaration from Goethe's most admirable prose, the abilities of the members run. To see a supposedly respectable and refined society of young ladies and gentlemen, become on Saturday nights a crowd of "wir sprechen Deutschers;" to see this crowd of young anarchists wildly applauding and "gut, gut-ing," a harangue from the Herr Most of the club, Prof Carruth, would fill the inhabitants of any but a University town with a sickening fear. But there is no danger; on the contrary, there is a positive good being none, and future accomplished linguists will turn back in memory to the dear old University "Verein."
It is considered bad form down at Baldwin for a student to ride in a hack.

WHAT is the matter with the Foot Ball Club? We should endeavor to have some games this year with some of our neighboring colleges,
STUDENTS that eat their dinner at the University miss the lunch counter formerly run by Failley. Some of the down town restaurants could run a paying business at the University if they would establish a good lunch counter here.
PERSONS having matter for the KANSAN should hand it in by Tuesday of each week. Editorial and Literary matter should be handed to the Editor-in-Chief and Local matter to Mr.H.F.Roberts. We cannot insure the publication of any matter that is handed in later than Tuesday.
WE often hear the question asked "Why does not K. S. U. have a Glee Club?" That is indeed a question that is hard to answer satisfactorily. We certainly have the talent. All that is necessary is for some one that is capable of leading the movement to take it in hand. Washburn has a Glee Club that is an honor to the institution and there is no reason why K. S. U. should not be able to maintain one equally as good.
ELITE JOURNAL: When a student occupies the whole recitation hour in arguing with the professor in charge, thus monopolizing the time of an entire class, it is about time he should pay double tuition or hire a private instructor. Such students "make us tired," and seldom developing a single new idea, they soon become a class nuisance.
It would seem from the above that the Illinois Wesleyan is afflicted with that self-important individual that is such a common and disgusting personage in K. S. U.
SOME of our exchanges criticize KANSAN very severely because we devote so much space to local matter and have no Literary Department. We make no pretense to conduct a literary paper. Our aim is to have a college newspaper and when we accomplish that end we will have accomplished our purpose. It would be about as sensible to criticise the daily newspapers because they devote so much space to matters of news and so little to Litterary matter as to criticise the KANSAN and similar college papers because we devote so much space to local matters.
Upon considering the work of Seniors and Juniors in their closing terms of school, we have endeavored to fill a long felt want by procuring several of the most prolific writers of the age, which enables us to furnish all kinds of productions at a very slight cost.
So read a circular received by several K. S. U. students the past week and now when a forensic comes from the Prof's, hand marked good and bearing Grade "one" those students who received Grade "three" will look at each other with a cruel, knowing look that will speak worlds, but of course it will proceed only from jealously.
Many students come to the University and remain here for the entire four years and when they leave school the only results of the time and labor spent is the knowledge that they have been able to get from between the covers of a text book. They have made no friendships; they have no ties that will bind them to the University in after years; they are members of none of the various student organizations; they have never done anything while here to advance any of the interests of the University; they have never subscribed for their college papers; in fact their whole existence may be summed up as an existence by themselves and for themselves.
A Student's Obligations.
This certainly is not to be commended in any student. Of course his prime object should be his studies. He should not sacrifice his work for anything. However, there is no student that has so much work to do that he can not find time for some outside work. If he can play ball he should lend his assistance on the Diamond, and help to give our University a position in that field. If he is not given to athletics he should devote himself to something that will bring him in contact with his fellow students, either in something that will bring him either in some of the societies that are in connection with the University or in any other way that will bring an exchange of thought be tween himself and others. It is only through this association with others that he can be said to become educated. It matters not how much knowledge a person may have, if it be accompanied by other training, he cannot be said to be educated, in the true sense of the word.
Another duty that a student owes to the University is his financial support; not to the University itself but to the organizations connected with it. When the ball grounds need repairing he should contribute his part towards it. Because a person does not play ball does not exempt him in the least. That is all the more reason that he should give. He should assist in every way in his power.
Students! If we may presume to advise you, take an interests in the University enterprises. Subscribe for your college papers. Buy a ticket to the University Ball even though you may not wish to attend. Buy a ticket to the Lecture Course, every one wants to and should attend that. Lend your assistance wherever it is needed and you will never regret it.
The Kansas Academy of Science.
This institution which includes members from the most important colleges in the State and from other professions as well as that of teaching met at Wichita last week. Among the papeas read and discussed are the following:
Some monstrosities in flowering plants by Prof. W. A. Kellerman of Manhattan. The author spoke of a variety of abnormal forms and illustrated his remarks by the exhibition of beautifully mounted specimens. Mr. J. T. Willard of the Agricultural experimental station at the same place gave some valuable notes on the analysis of agricultural products. He spoke of methods of drying in the Laboratory, the process used for purifying other and a device for the prevention of foaming in boiling. Prof. E. A. Popenoe of Manhattan discussed Oviposition of Tragidion. He showed in illustration a number of beautifully mounted specimens. A paper was read from W. S. Nowlon of Oswego, on Labette County Glacial Strali. Prof. G. H. Failyer of Manhattan read a paper on Ammonia and nitric acid in Rain
Water collected at the Agricultural College. He has been engaged on this work several years and his researches are of great value, as they tell how much Ammonia and Nitric acid may be expected to fertilize each acre of land annually.
Prof. F. H. Snow, of the University discussed the artificial spread of contagious diseases among chinch bugs. This paper attracted much attention. The author gave his own experience in eradicating the pest, and showed how it was verified by the extensive correspondence from this and many other States where he has sent specimens of infected bugs to spread the disease.
Mr E. C. Murphy of the University gave the results of his experiments on Cements Manufactured in Kansas. He has compared the strength of different varieties of cement setting under similar conditions. For most purposes the Ft. Scott cement seems to bear the greater strain without fracture, but all our cements are far below Portland cement in value. Prof. L. I. Blake of the University read a paper on some tests on the insulation Resistance of Electric Light wires exposed to moisture. From a careful series of experiments the author showed that in some wires the insulation was of little value, while in others it was almost perfect. Prof. Robert Hay of Junction City gave a resume of his paper on Kansas Artesion Wells. It is proposed to use this means for irrigation of the more arid lands. The paper was discussed by Prof. Snow and others.
Sergeant T B Jennings read a paper on "A Preliminary study of Hot Winds." This paper was prepared from data collected from experiments made by the U. S. Signal Service during the past winter and spring.
Prof. F. O. Marvin of the University exhibited a chart showing the declination of the magnetic need in Kansas, and showing the irregularity that exists in Saline and Elsworth counties.
Prof. L. I Blake, of the University, read a paper on "A method of Telephonic Communication Between Ships at Sea." Prof. Blake is the only scientist that has been able to accomplish any feasible scheme for such communication and his report was received with much enthusiasm by the audience.
E. E. Slosson read a paper prepared by himself and Prof. Bailey on the "Occurrence of Barite and Other Associated minerals in Concretionary Formations in Eastern Kansas.
A paper on the "Manufactory of binding twine in Kansas" was read by Prof. Sayre and one on the "Curve of mean daily temperature at Lawrence for twenty-one years" was read by Prof. Snow. Prof. Snow also read a paper on the "The respiration of the Salamander" giving the method, hitherto unexplained, by which this animal breathes.
Hon. J. R. Mead of Wichita presented a paper on "The occurence of gold in Montana.
A paper on "The analysis of Kansas mineral water was read by Prof. Bailey. A paper describing the work of W.S. Franklin on the subject of "The equations of the water jets in Barker's mill was read by Prof. Blake Prof. Marion read a paper on "Second Settling of Cements." At request Prof. Sayre read a paper entitled "Notes on Albuminoids!"
After all of the papers were presented the officers for he ensuing year were elected as follows:
G. H. Failyer of Manhattan, president; D. S. Kelly of Emporia, first vice-president; F. W. Cragin of Topeka, second vice-president; E. H. S. Bailey of Lawrence, secretary; J. D. Graham of Manhattan, treasurer; E. B. Smith of Topeka, librarian; Curators—C. E. Jennings and A. H. Thompson of Topeka and R. Hay of Junction City.
On Saturday upon invitation the Academy and friends to the number of seventy went in a special car to Kingman. They were met at the station by carriages and taken to visit the three salt manufactories, the creamery and the salt shaft. At the latter place the intention was to go down in the shaft to the depth of 800 feet, but a break in the machinery the day before rendered this impossible. Many good specimens were obtained however. A complimentary dinner was given at the Brunswick after which came a serenade by the band. The company then repaired to the order of the day for nearly two hours. Among the speakers were Profs. Snow, Sayre, Blake, Hay, Charlton, Marlatt, Senator Gillett and Dr. Hewitt. A series of complimentary resolutions were passed, and the party came back to Wichita, delighted with the trip and the hearty welcome of the people of Kingman.

HER WAS HAIR SHORT MY TIS Such snapping eyes, alive with fun! Their brightness quite my young heart won. A figure trim, a dainty hand Around her neck a velvet band Of richest black. By this 'twas done. For on it, glancing in the sun, My Grecian pin resplendent shone. And add to this, you understand, Her hair was short! 'Twas school time then. But now 'tis none Of that. I married her. Undone Am I. Her eyes still snap. Withstand Her I cannot. Her each command Compels as once. What reasons? One. My hair is short!
TO PASS THE TIME AWAY.
Is What Bess Says Many Students Come to K. S. U.
For.
During my walks about the halls of K. S. U. for the purpose of seeing what strange things and persons we have among us I have met at every turn one of the tribe whose name is Legion, which is found solely in schools, and, more particularly, colleges. I speak now of those students who are here because sent, or for the purpose of passing away, in a pleasant manner, a year or two of their life which would otherwise hang very heavily on their hands. For whatever reason they may come here, they may be known by the extremely aimless way in which they drift and stumble along. Of this class a large number are girls. This was all the more surprising to me for I had supposed that one of that very small class of girls who get farther than a high-school, were certainly ambitious and deserving of great credit for their ambition. In contrast to this amazingly small number is the crowd of girls (and boys too, but it is of the girls that I speak now more particularly) who attend a college or University merely because they happen to live in the town in which the school is situated. I see, in our halls, a large number of girls who are here for the mere purpose of passing away the time, and who desire to keep up the appearance, at least, of improving themselves. I often ask myself, how many girls are there now in K. S. U. who are pursuing their line of work with any definite end in view, with the idea of putting to use in the future, what they are now working upon. Of course, an education is to be desired for itself, and improves everyone, but I venture the assertion that not one of this class have ever thought of that. This is clearly shown by their attitude toward their work as shown daily in the class-room. It is this girl who does a little work in order that she may not be compelled to leave and that she may not have her pride, what little she has left, varying with the time she has been pursuing this course, wounded by a number of successive failures. Even the slight exertion necessary to enable her to keep her place would be very irksome to her where it not for the fun she has with the thoers of her crowd and with young
men, perhaps, and very often, in the same position as herself. I should say that two-thirds of the girls and about one-half of the young men here are more or less imbued with this spirit. As to the young men I am not so sure, there may be more or less, but of the girls I can speak with a good deal of certainty, as I speak from personal knowledge. I know of several girls who started to school this year in a hesitating and uncertain way, not knowing whether to enter or not, discussing the question with one urging upon them the benefits to be derived, in an unimportant and careless manner and finally coming to the University particularly because most of "the girls" did and because they had nothing else to do. Can you imagine anything in the way of result from this sort of spirit? Others have started with the very praiseworthy intention of going through the University and graduating. But the method of consoling herself for a failure in the classroom with a little longer time spent in the hall with "the boys" or the thought of what a nice time she would have in a few evenings at the party has played sad havoc with all her good intentions. These same boys who furnish the consolation should rather be at home than here joking with the girls and making light of their failures, for they are the male members of the same class. It is I think partly due to their influence that some of our girls have dropped into this already large class. If girls and boys, I call them so rather than young men and ladies, must exert such an influence upon each other, they should be separated, during their school life at least, and co-education must, under these circumstances, be a condition of things to be regretted.
BESS.
Orophitian.
A good attendance was at Orophil ian last Friday evening to listen to the talk by Prof. Carruth on Har vard University. Concerning Har vard Prof.Carruth said:
"There is a distinction between the terms Harvard University and College; it being, that the term University is applied to the whole institution, including the various colleges, such as the college of medicine, law, art, etc. The undergraduate work is done mainly in the colleges. As a rule students are sent to the college but those coming to the University come for definite purposes, all being hard workers. The opinion so often expressed, that Harvard men are conceited, was contradicted. That which appears as conceit arises from the fact that at Harvard, the most that can be done for a man in any line of study, is done. Every opportunity is afforded for the deepest research in any subject, hence when a graduate goes out into the world, he is confident that he is fitted for his work, and confidence is taken for conceit. The post-graduate work done at Harvard is considered as being equal to that of any college in the United States. The work done at Johns Hopkins is as good, with the exception of three or four branches of study. From a financial standpoint it is better to graduate from Harvard than from Johns Hopkins, as Harvard has between eight and ten thousand graduates, always ready to help a Harvard man to succeed, while Johns Hopkins has but one or two hundred graduates of the same for the men from that college. Yale's postgraduate course is considered uniform to Harvard's in every respect. Harvard excels all colleges in work done in general literature, especially in Latin, Greek, English and German. Harvard is the best place for a student to go who wishes to become a teacher, or work in literature. If an article is dated from Cambridge the chances are ten to one of its being received to print than if dated from any other city. The teachers at Harvard are the very best in the country, including such men as Norton, Childs and White, who are famous in their respective branches. Harvard has the best library of any college in the world, 360,000 volumes and as many pamphlets being accessible to the students; and including the books in the great Boston library, over one million volumes are accessible. The library is the most valuable thing at Harvard. Harvard expends $25,000 yearly for its library. K. S. U. expends more, though, than Harvard did twenty-five years ago. The students at our University compare very favorably with the Harvard students, being more earnest and having a higher aim in life, as a rule." After the lecture a very interesting program was given. The question: Resolved, That the education of the negro is the only way of solving the southern question, was debated by W. W. Brown and R. R. Whitman in the affirmative, and D. R. Krrehbiel and E. L. Ackley in the
R. R. Whitman was re-elected president of the society and James Baker and W. E. Curry were elected vice-president and treasurer.

A Real Irish Play.
Since the day Mayor Grant let the green flag fly from the City Hall Tower there's been nothing seen here quite so Irish as was the play produced at the Windsor Theatre last evening. The title of this dramatic hibernicism is "The Dear Deaf Irish Boy," which is certainly Erinnie enough to tickle the car of the most patriotic lover of the old sod that ever twirled a shillalah.
The principal roles were taken by a company of very earnest performers, among whom we noticed the familiar names of such footlight favorites as Dan McCarthy and little Harry O'Lynn, whose part of "Little Tootsey" was a cross between Little Lord Fauntleroy and Charley Fresh, and Mr. Gus Reynolds, an actor of great ability, and his impersonation of the low villain, McClutchey, was all that could be desired.
The plot of "The Dear Irish Boy" will be sufficiently understood when it is related that a lordly Irish villain falls in love with a beautiful heroine, who in turn loves the Dear Irish Boy. Given these characters, together with a proud and haughty father, a stolen letter and a scene of the Giant's Cave by moonlight, and it will be evident that you have all the ingredients of a highly popular drama. And when in addition to all these potent points of success you have bagpipes, dances, songs in which the speedy libertion of Ireland from England's tyrannic yoke is confidentially predicted, 'its plain that an auditor must be fastidious indeed if he fails to find therein enough and to spare for an evening's entertainment.'—New York Herald, Tuesday, June 11, 1889. Will appear at Bowersock's Opera House Monday, Nov. 4. Reserved seats at Crew's.

WE HAVE a business of our own and attend strictly to our own business. We are not copyists, but are originators of all there is in getting up something good for man and beast. We commence to build up the constitution by feeding the inner man—by putting proper food into the stomach. The I. C. G. goods have done wonders towards building up man physically as well as financially. Evidence of the fact can be seen almost everywhere you go within a radius of twenty es of Lawrence. When there are inquiries coming in from all parts of the country about that Bayless outfit, there must be something in the wind; and in order that you may be as well posted as your neighbor, you should come and see what there is to it. Generally, they say, where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. You can see smoke almost any time around where Bayless is. The reason is that he uses the purest goods on earth, I. C. G., which create animal heat sufficient to make them smoke, consequently they have to use less fuel. Remember we guarantee a cure to any one using goods labeled I. C. G.

Here is another instance of an old K. S. U. student rising in the word. L. F. Gault, an old student here, and a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, who is now located at Tacoma, Washington, has been placed in charge of a large box factory recently established there. The enterprise is a big one, and it speaks well for Gault that he should have risen to the management of the business. The Tacoma Ledger of October 20, gives a good write up of the manufactory. The building, it says is a three story block, $40\mathrm{x}80$ feet, and contains machinery capable of using from 25,000 to 30,000 feet of lumber per day or of turning out 2,000 boxes of different kinds We are continually called on to record the rise in business of some old student, and it makes us proud of K. S. U. to see her sons successful.

Charlie Johnson visited University friends the latter part of last week. It is a source of regret to his large circle of friends that he will probably not return to K. S. U, this year. This will probably prevent him from graduating with '91, his old class.
Judge Wess recently returned from a four month's collecting expedition in western Kansas. The results of his labors were seen in thirty-nine cases of specimens which arrived this week, weighing 3,000 pounds, and making half a car load. The specimens are those of fossil vertebrates of the cretaceous formation, including saurians, fishes, turtles and pterodactyls. There are between 75 and 100 jaws of fossil animals, some with teeth intact, and some without. The nterodactyls number about half a dozen, and are the first the University has obtained. Among other fine specimens is a saurian jaw found in the nickel mine canyon. Only about two inches of the upper jaw, projected from the rock, but the scientific eye of the Judge knew there was something there, and as a result the museum has obtained an extraordinarily fine specimen. The amount of territory explored did not cover more than twelve miles along the river, and moreover this section had previously been searched by Yale scientists who pretended to have gotten all there was to be found. It speaks well for the enterprise of the Natural History department, that such rich finds have been made in places supposed to have been thoroughly worked.
Thacher - Henry Wedding.
We take the following notice of the Thacher-Henry wedding from the Lawrence *Tribune* for November 5. Mr. Henry is an old member of Kas. Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and the congratulations of his fraternity brothers as well as those of the KANSAN go with him:
The wedding of Stuart O. Henry and Miss Nellie Green Thacher took place at 12 o'clock today at the residence of the bride's father, Judge Solon Thacher, on Tennessee street. Only the relatives of the parties and a few very intimate friends were present at the ceremony. Both the bride and groom are well known in the University and social circles of Lawrence.
Miss Thacher was a member of the class of 1881, graduating with first honors. She afterward studied in Europe. She held the chair of German in the University for one year during Prof. Carruth's absence in Europe. She is an accomplished linguist, a rare conversationist, and a lady of unusual culture in many directions. Her qualities of mind are not more admirable than her qualities of heart.
Mr. Henry was for some years a student at the University. He was afterward in business with his brother, T. C. Henry, at Abiline. In 1883 he spent something more than a year in Europe. Since that time he has been hard at work making a name and a reputation world of Colorado. He is secretary of a number of corporations there and has the confidence and respect of all who know him.
The happy couple will spend the next three months in southern France and Italy. They left for New York this afternoon.

THE sentiment in favor of keeping the Library open during Chapel is gaining ground.
CHADDOCK College (Quincy III.) will soon be added to the list of Colleges sheltering Fraternities.
BAKER students will be given only one day in which to eat Turkey and otherwise celebrate Thanksgiving.
THE girls of Iowa College recently engaged in a game of foot ball and the Pulse makes the description of the progress and result of the game the theme of a poem.
The University of Michigan claims the most students and Cornell the largest Freshman class this year.
The students are showing the right spirit in giving their support to the University Ball. Every cent given to this is so much done towards giving their University a footing in athletics.
THROUGH the kindness of Miss Watson we have been furnished with a list of the books recently added to the Library and will publish it from week to week until the entire list is published.
THE exchange editor of the Lynn High School Gazette is an editress. The boys having exchange columns to attend to will now be vying with each other to say the nicest things about the Gazette's exchange column.
JOURNAL: Some University boys go to church to walk home with the young ladies. This is by odds worse than the girls going to show off their sweet bonnets.
We are told this applies strictly to the city dudes and not to the "Farmers."
TO-NIGHT the first lecture of the course will be given. The attendance will be large but there are still quite a number of students who have not yet bought tickets and should do so. This course is a University enterprise and one that will be a great benefit to all who avail themselves of it. The success of this venture will influence any future endeavors in this direction and for this reason if for no other it should receive the encouragement of the students.
The Camera Club had a meeting at the residence of W. S. Franklin last Saturday evening. It was decided to purchase some photographic books and present them to the library, also to offer a prize for the best three photographs taken by any member of the club this year. The club is determined to do something entirely original that will astonish the world, just what it will be is not yet ascertained. To-morrow, if the weather is favorable the club will take a walk and capture some picturesque views in the vicinity of the city.
JUDGING from the attacks made on K. S. U. by the exchange editor of the Hesperian he must have had a case of indigestion before writing the exchange column for the last issue. The Hesperian is a good paper and the exchange column as a general thing does it credit but such uncalled for attacks on neighboring institutions and other college papers tends to lower its standard of excellence. It would be well to learn that all intellect and ability is not confined to the Nebraska University, and that there is room for difference of opinion on some subjects.
ONE can tell a boy whose girl has accepted some one else's company by his refusal to buy a ticket for the University ball.
Some one laboring under the delusion that he was having fun tore up the walk leading to the University. Hallowe'en. Such actions show a greater lack of brains than anything else and it is hard to conceive of a Uniniversity student being guilty of such an action.
We have been shown a petition, which is being circulated among the students, asking that the library remain upen during chapel exercises. We belive that this if accomplished, would be a move consistent with the thoughts embodied in the word "State University." In accordance with the ideas and purposes of the founders of this, our University, one of the greatest of the State institutions, each student may pursue his labors under the same conditions and with equal advantage to himself, however different may be his beliefs, political, religious, etc. It was for the furtherance of this perfect equality that the devotional exercises in the morning were made optimal, and if a student may choose his labors allowed to put in the time in what manner he desire, provided, of course, it in no way interfere with those taking part in the exercises. He certainly would not interfere if permitted to remain in the library. If one does not desire to attend chapel, he will never be led into doing so by being excluded from the library. It will only increase the disturbance occasioned by the gathering in the halls. This closing of the library acts upon different classes of students in very opposite way. There may be a few students who, finding no opportunity to study, may attend the chapel exercises, but this number is very small, or by observation one may easily see that there are not many other than those who attend regularly; there may, however, be those who do not attend chapel, whether engaged in study at the time or not, and upon these a hardship is worked by the closing of the library. Even if by this treatment all those who are absent from the chapel through desire to put in the time in work, were brought into regular attendance, it could not be deemed right and just; much more unjust is it when positively nothing is effected on it.
The Editor's Reverie.
One day the editor slept and dreamed. And he seemed to toil along a narrow rocky path. To his either side were branches with thorns, and rude points of rock, and he made his way with difficulty. And he passed by many; some plodding their way onward with him, some lagging behind, while some had turned and were retracing their steps. And when in this dream he had traveled far, with weary feet and courage well-nigh gone, it seemed that the path ended
abruptly, and through an immense arch there shone a light of wondrous brilliancy. The editor turned with fear and questioned a fellow-traveler.
"Why, who art thou," responded the traveler, "who should have toiled up the rugged Path of Life, and not know thy own reward? For yonder stands the Gate of Heaven."
And the editor knew that the traveller had spoken the truth, for he saw at the gate the venerable form of Saint Peter, with his mighty keys. And his conscience smote him, as he thought of the thoughtless deeds of his life, and he feared to approach. So he stepped into a niche in the rock, and while he stood concealed, there came up a young man and demanded admission at the gate.
And then came the gruff but kindly voice of Saint Peter, "Who art thou and from whence dost thou come?"
"Oh most divine Saint, I am but a humble student from the University of Kansas," returned the young man.
"A noble institution," said Saint Peter, "I have heard much that is well of it. But thou didst not say to which fraternity thou didst belong."
"To none, oh, sire. And yet I lacked not opportunities, but could not avail myself of them."
"What! Thou a barbarian? Thou, who hadst opportunity to become a fraternity man and yet availed thyself not, comest to demand admission at the Gate of Geaven?"
"Aye, Sire, I had little time from my books, and my means were not sufficient."
"Begone, youth 'Have I not heard that men in thy University were judged by the fraternity of which they were members, and thou hast no fraternity. I can have naught to do with thee."
"And art thou also from the University of Kanas?" asked the Saint.
"Yes, sire," responded the youth,
"And so that there is a chance?"
"No, sire. I belong to the order of Sigma Chi"
"Sigma Chi? Yes, I have heard that name before. But what hast thou done? Ever been president of the Oratorical Association?"
"Ever been editor of the Review?" "No, sire."
"No, sire."
"Ever lead your class?"
"No, sire, but—"
"Yes, yes, I understand. But thou didst come very near it. No, I am sorry but thou can't enter. Thou see'st, taken all in all thou art quite a fair young man, but thou hast never done anything."
And then turning to another who approached the Gate, "and here is yet another student of the University. What is thy fraternity my lad?"
"Sigma Nu, sire."
"What, a Sigma Nu? I have heard of thee before. And didst thou, a member of that order, expect to enter the Gate of Heaven?"
"But, sire, have I not lived a pure life? Did I not stand at the head of my classes? Was I not honest and upright? In what manner have I sinned?"
"I know naught of thee, save that thou art a Sigma Nu. Thou must go."
And as the young man turned away, there approached another with firm step and haughty mien, who scarcely saw Saint Peter at the Gate, and who, when the hand of the saint was laid upon his arm, turned with a look of surprise and indignation and said:
"Why, I'm a Phi Psi."
And before Saint Peter could express his astonishment he had entered the gate and was out of sight. And the great tears rolled from St. Peter's eyes as he gazed at the dent in the granite rock that the young man had accidently struck with his cheek, and was so nearly blinded that he failed to notice the man of tremendous stature who approached.
"I'm a Beta," he said.
"Yes, but what hast thou done?"
"Oh, our hall surpasses in magnificence anything that ___
"Yes, I remember, Wooglin hath told we of thy hall. Pass in." And a smile of happiness lighted up St. Peters face and drove the tears away. And as he turned his gaze towards the path his white locks seemed to stand on end with surprise. His whole face beemed with joy, and he seemed to rush out to meet a youth, and shouted:
"At last! A Phi Gamm hath come to the Gate of Heaven! Welcome! Welcome!"
But just then somebody was heard to say, "box party," and an expression of pain and anguish flitted across the youth's face. He gave one gasp, and became a raving maniac.
And then St. Peter, whose joys had become sorrows, turned to the last man, who was seen approaching and said:
"I know thee. Thou art a Phi Delt. But thou canst not enter. Thy fraternity has naught but engineers and journalists. The engineers upon being accepted would want to go back and survey a shorter road to our gate, while the Journalists—well, Journalists never do go to Heaven, anyway."
At these words a wild cry was heard, the editor sprang from his place of concealment and dashed madly down the path. But his footing was not sure, for he slipped and fell, rolled over the brink of the precipice,

Over the net a breeze was blowing,
Waving her wealth of golden hair,
Base and grace in her movement showing,
The very poetry of motion there,
Over the net.
Over the net the ball came bounding,
Lightly I hit it back again:
Back it came, it was most astounding,
But I could not return it then
Over the net.
Over the net we talked and chatted
All that bright summer afternoon;
Little I thought that I was faded
Two win a love-game from her so soon,
Over the net.
Over the net how the recollection
Brings to my mind that same glad thrill.
Yes, she is just as much perfection,
And in my dreams I see her still,

TO BE! OR, NOT TO BE!
(Playthings.) That is the Question!
Am I a doll, or a child? If not, there is no necessity for treating me either as the one or the other. Were I a doll, I could not, and should not, if my sole function was to serve as a plaything for someone; or, being a child it would be but natural that I should wish to be amused and hence would appreciate the possession of a plaything. I believe most of us girls may be excluded from the first class, dolls, and so we cannot understand, and do not enjoy, our treatment as such. It seems to be a prevailing opinion among a large number of the boys that we may best serve as playthings; that we are to be considered as devoid of intelligence, and incapable of anything beyond contributing to their amusement in the way which seems to suit them best. At a dance one of us is picked up from our seat, whirled around the room a few times, and then, in about the same manner in which a child throws aside its rag doll to welcome the new china one, we are "slammed" back into our place while our late possessor hurries off to the new darker-haired one, or the one that will squeak when squeezed. Have we no feelings, at all? I, for one, will confess that my pride, if nothing more, is wounded by the very unceremonious discarding (this not to apply solely to dances). What though we care nothing for his presence; it is the idea, clearly brought out by this sort of action on his part, of our utter insignificance, or a complete lack of any feeling in the matter, that has its effect. Again while "Lord" Boy favors us with his acceptance of us for a time he imagines us incapable of having any ideas or of being able to express to him any new thoughts; at least he gives us no opportunity. But perhaps this arises from his fear of getting into "too deep water." Whatever be the reason, the fact remains that he only attempts to please himself by a mode of acting, perhaps best expressed by the treatment of a doll at the hands of a child; "playing" with us.
He may, perhaps, if an extraordinarilyadeep thinker, be so far imbued with the spirit of this advanced age as to rank us higher than this. In this case we "pose" as a child. Of necessity then the boy is the doll, for his sole effort is to please us, and these attempts are confined, almost without exception, to the performance of antics which we, our existence as children being presupposed, if left to ourselves and in the possession of an inanimate doll would put upon it. How thoughtful of our happiness is this "Fool" Boy; in this he resembles the new invention, the "Electrical Doll," and serves about the same purpose. This doll amuses not only children, but older people as well, for all are curious as to its mechanism and make-up; so it is with this latter class of boys; we are divided between our amusement, which, however, soon wears off, and our curiosity as to his make-up. We honestly believe ourselves worthy of a better effort on the part of the boys, and also believe that we are capable of taking our part and furnishing our share of the mutual entertainment. We will not, however, be the doll; we do not desire to be the child, and have our 'doll' provide himself. BESS.
An Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association.
With the unusual interest that is being shown in athletic matters this fall, comes a desire that Kansas might have an Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association that would take charge of all athletic contests between the colleges of the state. As it is we never meet any colleges except Washburn and Baker in any out door contests. If we had a state association that would take charge charge of such matters and arrange a schedule of games each year it would add greatly to the interest and give much better facilities for arranging for games. Last year the K. S. U. nine was unable to arrange for a single game even with a college that is as near us as Washburn. If we had have had a state association to take charge of it several games might have been arranged for,
K. S. U. is not the only college that can be benefited by an association of this kind and it is to be hoped that every college in the state will think of this question some, so that by the time the Oratorical Association meets here delegates may be sent and an association formed from intime to arrange for a series of games for next spring.
The club room in Snow Hall was well filled last Friday as all were eager to learn from the delegates who had represented the Science club at the Wichita meeting of the Kansas Academy. Prof. Sayre gave a comprehensive account of the meeting which was supplemented in some particulars by Prof. Snow, Prof. Bailey, Prof. Murphy and W. S. Franklin. The microscopical exhibition, the Kingman salt mines, and the Garfield girls were thoroughly described. On the cars the K. S. U. delegation and kindred spirit organized a glee club and mingled the strains of "Upidee" with the rumble of the train. The Kansas Academy yell devised on this occasion was repeated for the benefit of the science club. Of course no printed words can represent this triumph of elocutionary genius but we put it down that all can see something of its spirit rhythm and force. Kanacad—Kanacad—course-I-can, BOOM!!
To make this more interesting, a state association could have a prize to offer to the college making the best record and allow it to be retained so long as that college maintains its supremacy. If this were done there would be something to strive for and it would not only give each college a chance to add laurels to its crown but by inducing more practice would improve the playing of all the colleges.
Science Club.
R. R. Rodgers read an essay on "The Eifel Tower and its Architect." He gave a sketch of the life of M. Eifel. M. Eifel has originality and success in engineering feats. He was the first to build bridges out from the piers without false works, he constructed the nice observatory which weighs a hundred pounds yet is moved by the slightest touch, and he devised the series of gigantic locks which were te be put in the Panama canal. The three hundred meter tower was proposed for the centennial exposition in 1876 but was rejected. The cost of the tower was $1,300,000; it contains 73,000 tons of iron, of which 450 tons are rivets and bolts. The pressure on its base is nine pounds per square centimeters, while the Washington monument only 550 feet high has a pressure of fifty-four pounds per square centimeters.
Ed. Esterly next gave a resume of the articles in the November Popular Science Monthly and, E. E. Slosson called attention to some important pieces in the Scientific American.
Prof. Snow then invited the club into the museum where he exhibited the saurian jaws which Judge West has discovered in the cretaceous formation.

Philological Club.
Last Friday night the Philological Club adopted the following resolutions:
WHEREAS. The opportunity is offered by the Greek government to the American school at Athens to explore and excavate the site of ancient Delphi, one of the greatest centers of Greek religion, the site of its most famous oracle, the meeting place of its greatest council, the locality adorned by many of the noblest works of the genius of the Greeks, and crowded with poetic as well as with historic associations throughout the whole period of of the glory of Greece; and
WHEREAS, The Council of the Archaeological Institute of America has issued an address to the public promising to conduct the excavation for five years, provided a sum of not less than $75,000 for the land needed, and appropriation of the land needed, for expressions of interest and approval and contributions of any amount; and
WHEREAS. That work is greatly desirable for the good name of our country, and the encouragement of American scholarship and the peace on our artists and the public taste:
Resolved, That the Philological Club of the University of Kansas has heard of this important enterprise with the greatest pleasure, and desires thereby to express its interest in the undertaking, and to proclaim its intention to further it to the extent of its ability and influence, and as an carnest of this intention invites contributions to the fund for the enterprise and appoints the Secretary to collect and remit to the Secretary of the Delphi Committee.
Mr. Sterling read a paper for the so-called Niobe on Mount Sipylus in Asia Minor. He reviewed the geography of the country, and told the story of Niobe, and gave the various opinions of travelers on the rock-figure on Sipylus. Sayce and the latest traveler, Heemann, agree in making it, not natural, but the work of men's hands, and in calling it Cybele, not Niobe. It is in a sitting posture like Cybele, and small cuttings for offerings around the niche show that worship was performed here, which favors the argument for Cybele, since Niobe was not worshiped.
Miss Sultiff told the club about the prospectus for the coming season at the theatre of the Odeon in Paris. Miss Rudolph told of a new Latin newspaper in Rome, and gave some account of late magazine articles on Rome of today, the ancient and modern views of old age, and on late translations of Virgil.

Curry's Musical Comedy Company.
Misses Lillian Stillman and Emily Kean executed several songs and dances in a way that elicited rounds of applause The character of "Widow Rhue" was well rendered by Eugene F. Gorman, whose ability in eccentric comedy was duly appreciated. Miss Annie Martel rendered a dude song and was loudly encorped. An enjoyable feature of the performance was the singing of W. L. Vaughn. Mr. Vaughn is possessed of a voice of power and sweetness, and his songs were very greatly enjoyed."

The Dallas News has the following to say of Curry's Musical Comedy Company, presenting the great Irish comedy drama entitled "Irish Hearts of Old." "Mr. A. D. Johnson, who carried the part of Capt. Kilpepper, is an actor of no inconsiderable strength and grace, being possessed of a fine physique, a good voice, and having good facial control. He gave a very strong and effective rendition of his short and unpopular part. Mr. Myles Morris, as Paudee Rhue, was very clever, especially in the rendition of his various comic songs, which were loudly applauded. John L. Dill, as Col. Laverack, and W. J. Clark, as Sergent Storkey, did some effective work in eccentric comedy.
Finish What You Begin.
My old great-grandmother Knox had a way of making her children finish their work. If they began a thing they must complete it. If they undertook to build a cob house they must not leave it until it was done, and nothing of the work or play to which they set their hands would she allow them to abandon incomplete. I sometimes wish I had been trained in this way. How much of life is wasted in unfinished work! Many a man uses up his time in splendid beginnings. The labor devoted to commence ten things and leave them useless will finish five of them, and make them profitable and useful. Finish your work. Life is brief; time is short. Stop beginning forty things and go finish four. Put patient, persistent toll into the matter, and be assured, one complete undertaking will yield yourself more pleasure and the world more profit than a dozen fair plans of which people say, "This man began to build and was not able to finish."—Golden Days.

At last the initiation business is over with, and about thirty students are able to breathe. The faculty has put the participants on probation for the rest of the year, and has administered a reprimand.
The Probationist who were told they would have to show up big grades for the rest of the year in order to stay here do not feel as good as they might since the recent examinations.
The Baker Beacon thinks ti at Rho Kappa Tau is a new ladies' fraternity established here. From the interest taken in it by some of the young ladies, the outsider might have surmised something of the kind.

It is said that Clark is anxious for somebody to go out and paint his name over the sidewalks as was done for Worden last year. Unfortunately the fellows he wanted to do it "smelled a rat," as it were and declined.

J. E. McPherson's friends rejoiced to see him back in the University Monday. The fall he received on the University steps spraining his ankle has ke pt him away from his classes for three weeks. Fortunately he has not allowed his accident to throw him behind in his studies.
Everybody was satisfied and pleased with Robt McIntyre's lecture on "Wyandotte Cave." He spoke to a good sized audience, which would have been larger had it not been for the continued rain and bad weather, Thursday and Friday. The course has begun well and deserves the patronage of all.
Amos of the Junior Pharmacy class visited Baldwin Sunday. On his return, in nearing the Lawrence depot, he stepped off the train while in motion, and fell, cutting a gash in his forehead. It was a bad accident, but might have been worse. Fortunately no bones were broken and he is able to be out again.
We hope the library petition will have some effect. This keeping the library closed during chapel in order to induce students to attend, is a regular farce. As far as its securing the desired effect is concerned it reminds us of the old lady who stood up in the buggy to make it easier for the horse when going up hill.
The KANSAN would like to urge all its subscribers among the Alumni and old students of the University, to keep on the lookout for items of news concerning former students and send them to the Local Editor. There is nothing so interesting to an old college man as to hear what his former associates and classmates are doing.
The desire seems to exist among certain factions elements of the Barbs to make every non-fraternity young man who thinks that he has a right to stick to the old literary society which he originally joined, feel ostracized by the Barb community. This is senseless. It is a sort of boycott business, in which somebody has an ax to grind, and wants every Barb in the University to get down and turn the grindstone.
The autumn leaves are falling, and the restless crows are calling, in the cornfield where the bawling steers and heifers tramp around; and the rising smoke is curling, from the chimneys and is swirling, through the hazy air and whirling like fire phantoms gauzy gowned. Now the sumach's red is brighter and the morns are growing whiter, as the frost king's dappled miter, crowns the hills and shiv'ring lakes; now the days are growing shorter, sandwiched 'twixt the nights like mortar, and a man "feels kind of" sorter, like he wanted" buck wheat cakes.
—[From "An Eleventh Month IDL."]
We saw somewhere, that the Regents of the State Agricultural college would in the future only employ Christian gentlemen as instructors in that institution. This sounds funny. It might seem to imply that they had been in the habit of selecting Mohammedans or Buddhists in the past to train up the agricultural youth in the way they should hoe.
Stand up for the literary societies. If the Barbs are all going to pull out of Orophilian and Atheneum, let the frat men of these two societies unite and make one first class one. We dislike to see the lines drawn on this point, but if the non-fraternity students are determined to have it so, they are taking the burden of proof on themselves, and cannot say that the frat men drove them out of the literary societies.
We hope the time will come in the history of the University when the legislature will get extravagant enough to squander some money for a library building for the State University. In the winter six or seven different kinds of wind creep and crawl and squirm through the cracks in the windows and the seams in the plaster, and twine themselves about the spinal columns of the Juniors and Seniors and,——(save the mark), of the law students too, but the latter are by nature so tough, that they don't mind it.

The Protective Tariff League offers three prizes for the best essay on "The application of the American policy of protection to American shipping engaged in international commerce." to be contested for by students in the Senior classes of colleges and universities in the United States.
Love--Riffl.
The marriage of Miss Isabella M. Love, daughter of Sheriff Alex, Love, to Mr. Albert S. Riffle, of Walla Walla, Washington, was solemnized in the Presbyterian church at 1 p.m. yesterday, in the presence of a large company of invited friends. Rev. R. H. Van Pelt officiated.
The wedding was an elaborate yet a beautiful and impressive one, which is seldom the case, and in every respect symbolized a union of hearts. The church was decorated by the ladies of Pi Beta Phi, of which the bride has been a prominent and active member. Over the altar was an umbrella of flowers and the entire front of the room was a bower of foliage and flowers. The members of Pi Beta Phi and of Beta Theta Pi the college fraternity which Mr. Rifile was connected while in the University were in attendance.
After the ceremony a reception and dinner was given the bride and groom by the bride's parents at their home on Pinckney street.
As for the contracting parties both are well known in the community and have many friends to testify to their sterling qualities of mind and heart. Miss Love is a daughter of Sheriff Love and has for several years been prominent in social circles and religious work. She was educated at the University and has many friends among the alumni of the institution all over the west. Mr. Rifflu was graduated from the University in 1884 and since his graduation has risen rapidly in his work as a civil engineer and is at present holding a lacrative and responsible position with the Oregon R.R. Transportation company
The bride and groom leave to-day for the east on their wedding trip, after which they will go to Walla Walla, Washington, which will be their future home.

The noted author of "Old Creole Days," "The Grasidissinces." etc., is one of the most popular readers and lecturers on the American platform. He carries the sympathy of the audience with him in his uasterly character sketches while he charms his bearers by his perfect ability in rendering the peculiar southern dialect. You will miss a rare treat if you fail to hear him next Wednesday evening, Nov. 20.
The chart will open at Crew's to-morrow morning at 8:30 o'clock. Course tickets entitling the holder to first choice of seats are still on sale. Remember the date, Wednesday, Nov.20. Single admission 75c and 50c.
Those who failed to see the parade of the Pughtown Farmers Band with the Si Perkin's Co., missed a rare sight. Si Perkins and his company will be in Lawrence Tuesday. Don't miss the parade. The Danbury News of Chicago says:
"Si Perkins" attracted all of its old friends and a good many new ones at the Opera House last night. There was a large audience present, and there was a large amount of fun emanating from Frank Jones and other members of his company. There was a great deal of laughter from a good natured crowd. Mr. Jones is the same old "Si," and it would seem, protraits the character better than ever. The dancing of Frank Young was a feature of the evening.
Seats on sale Saturday morning. Regular prices.

The first lecture of the course was given last Friday evening, and was greeted with a full house, as it deserved to be. It is a rare privilege to be able to attend a course of lectures like the one that is offered to the students of K. S. U, and all that have not already done so should get tickets before the next lecture. Many other colleges have lecture courses but none that we have seen mentioned thus far, equal the one that is presented here.

PRINCETON College will have a journal managed and edited by the faculty. President Patton will be editor-in-chief, and departments in the different branches of learning will be conducted by the various professors. They will call it the Princeton College Bulletin. What fun that president will have chasing the professors for "copy!"—Ex.
It is certainly amusing to one to read in a Baldwin paper that Rho Kappa Tau is a new girls fraternity in K. S. U. but it does not show as much ignorance as for a K, S. U., paper to give as a piece of news that Phi Beta Kappa has granted a charter to the University, nearly three months after it has been granted and after the papers of the town and University have dropped and forgotten about it.
The action of those of the party of mock initiators who did not attend the conference of the faculty last Monday should receive the censure of every student They twice violated their honor. In the first place by not meeting the faculty when it was left to their honor to attend, and in the second place, when by their refusal to attend they endeavor to shift some of the blame from their own shoulders to those of their more honorable fellow students. It was enough to be connected with the affair at all but to try and evade the responsibility of it because the faculty does not happen to know that you were connected with it is stooping to the very depths of dishonor, not because you keep your identity hid but because some one else has to bear the consequences of your misdeeds.
In a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune we find an article by Mrs. A.G.Blackwelder, giving an account of the National Association of Collegiate Alumni that was recently held in Buffalo. Mrs.Blackwelder is a graduate of the University and has the honor of being the first lady chosen to deliver the Commencement Alumni Oration, she being chosen to make the address next Commencement. The meeting in Buffalo was for the discussion of work open to educated women. We clip the following from her report:
The occupations open to and suitable for college women were discussed. One member said that there are more places for specially qualified women than there are women to fill them. Scattered over the country are hundreds of women trained in chemistry, and these might apply their talents and knowledge to the teaching of cooking according to the law of science. In this way, bad cookery, with its train of physical and moral evils, could be replaced by scientific preparation of food and the hypochondriacial dyspeptic be unknown. A suggestion was offered in the statement that in the City of Brooklyn there is but one excellent mechanical draughtsman, and women having special capabilities in that direction were advised to fit themselves for that vocation. In California fruit culture was reported as a successful occupation for women.
THERE is a class of people that seems opposed to state institutions and advocates denominational schools on account of the better influences that are thrown around a student in such institutions. It is a favorite saying with them that every boy that comes to the University and does not turn out well owes it to the influences that surround him here. It is true that some students come here and never do any thing to better themselves, and their misdeeds are laid to their associations. Most persons lay this to the proper cause, inherent nature---but for all those who insist that these persons would not have turned out so, had they attended a denominational school we submit an occurrence that recently happened at Hiram College in Ohio, an institution under the control of the Christian Church.
Communicated.
A student there was recently found guilty of theft and left school in order to escape the consequences. Of course we do not try to insinuate that the school was the cause of this student committing this act, but had it occurred here there would have been a howl go up from the demagogues that it was all due to the evil influences thrown around him here
The influences of the University need not be feared by anyone wishing to send their children here. A more honorable and moral class of students can not be found than we have in the University.
The following article which we find in the DePauw Adz contains so much thought for reflection that, though rather long, we give it in its entirety:
The advancement of the age?
Yes. The time has long passed when an educated person was expected to know "all those things"—when "getting an education" meant dashing widly into every avenue of learning, proceeding a short way into each one and finally coming to dead halt, possessing a slight knowledge of a great many things, but a thorough knowledge of none. Then it was "Those things;" now it is "this thing."
The time has come when one is not considered wise or well read, when he is able to remark with a showing of great interest that "Robert Elsmere presents beautiful arguments in favor of the Unitarian religion," or "Edmund was an awful villain," for that many mean only that the speaker has taken advantage of the advertisement which not longe since went through the leading newspapers and magazines, offering for a small consideration to send a review of the books most admired and talked of, instead of reading Mrs. Humphrey Ward's famous work for himself or studying King Lear with the Juniors.
Some one has very cleverly remarked that "the more a man knows, the more he does not know; in other words, the deeper a man's knowledge in content, the narrower it is in extent."
Give up the idea of mastering "all those." Find the "this" which is best suited to your ability, concentrate your energies upon it, and you will induce time become educated and be a success in life.
Andy Reed makes special rates to students. Twenty baths for $2.00.
Could rates of a one or a one and a third fare, for the round trip, be secured on the different roads, there would be many more who would "eat turkey at home" Thanksgiving.
The Thanksgiving holidays are drawing near, and already those living within a radius of fifty or seventy-five miles are looking forward to the time when they can join the family circle, about the festive board.
During the school year we have three recesses one at Thanksgiving, and one in the spring of five days inclusive, each, and the Christmas recess of two weeks. Most students go home at Xmas, and a few at each of the other two recesses. Could rates be secured many more might have the privedge of passing these vacations with their parents.
Old soldier's, preachers, teachers. Y.M. & Y.W.C.A., in fact every class of people get rates but students. If there is a picnic, a show, an assembly, a base ball game or even a cock fight rates are given, but there are no rates for the student, who wants to spend a few days three times a year with his parents.
Perhaps it is our fault, in that we do not bring this before the general passenger agents of the different roads. If so let something be done at once, towards securing rates for our three annual recesses.
If a committee of professors or even one would take this in hand, and bring it about, about, all of K. S. U's students would be benefited and feel grateful. Prof. Carruth or Prof. James Canfield would be a good persons to undertake it, and I believe would succeed, for if this matter is brought before the general passenger agents in the right way there is but little doubt but they would give us rates.

The Seminary.
The meeting of the Seminary last week was held Friday afternoon instead of in the evening in order to give the members opportunity to attend the lecture Friday evening. The meeting was one of the most interesting ones that has been given this year.
The report of the previous meeting was read by Fred Funston. "Domestic current events" reported by Crawford and "Foreign Current Events" was reported by M. E. Hickey. A paper on "The Relation of the state to Industrial Action," based on an article of Mr Adams in the report of the Economic Association, was read by M. McKinnon. Wm. Hill gave a very able discussion on the subject of "Farm Mortgages and the Small Farmer." "Henry George and his views on the Althusian Theory" was discussed by E. E. Slosson and the falsity of Mr. George's views set forth.
Unity Club.
The chief attraction of the meeting was a paper on "Railroads as a Public Trust and their relation to the Common Law" by Hon. D. S. Alford. The speaker said that in his opinion there could be no more important question. The question to be considered was whether rail roads were superior to the state after a charter is once granted or whether the state had power to make laws from time to time for their control. The charters granted vested in them unusual power,—such as taking private property without the consent of the owner. A very great burden is put on the railroad by the people and if it were not for this rates of all kinds would be much lower. Mr. Alford was unable to finish his paper on account of lack of time but what he was able to deliver was listened to with interest by all present.
The next meeting of the Semi nary will be held next Friday evening at S o'clock.
The club next Monday night will spend an evening with Emerson. Short papers will be read on different essays with extracts from the same. Nature, Compensation, History, Self Reliance, are the ones selected. No writer of modern times has a stronger hold on the world of thought than Emerson, and the evening will be not only entertaining but profitable to all who attend. The club meets with open doors and welcomes all who come.
BOYS AND GIRLS.

What they Would do Could they Change Places.
IF I WERE A BOY.
This expression has probably been on the lips of every girl of your acquaintance.
I know I wisen I were a boy. I would not be a goody boy, girls always despise effenimate boys, who have always been tied to "mama's" apron string. I would be a boy and a manly one. No one likes rowdies, yet I have no use for a boy who has not an ordmary amount of self esteem or as I would probably say if I were a boy, of "nerve" to take care of himself. I would not care so much whether I was handsome or not, nor would I be a "hady killer." I would like the the girls, of course, and if I felt like it might tell them so, but would not be so very obtuse as not to understand when I was talking to the wrong girl. I would not swear undying love to every girl I knew, still if she wanted me to, I would muster up the proper amount of courage and tell her a few polite lies.
I would not gamble or drink, but would be a leader in all athletic clubs, would try to have my lessons, would dance, and would cultivate that most agreeable, yet rare thing among boys, "tact." I would give every one a small amount of judicious flattery. All persons like to be flattered. Tell some one that no one can flatter them, or tell them that they are not conceited, and see their countenances brighten.
I would not go to call upon a girl seven evenings out of each week, then when there is a "show in town" say. I have been studying so hard lately. I had no idea I could go out to the theatre until the last moment
are not the ones that ever receive any sincere praise.
Last, I would be a gentleman. I would have all the fun that was going, but I never would forget that I was a gentleman.
IF I WERE A GIRL.
I would cultivate all sports that become a girl. I would learn to ride a horse, hitch a horse to a buggy, row a boat, shoot a gun and all similar things. I would never wait for a boy to ask me to go riding or driving, orrowing; I would go by myself and be rather glad of the privilege.
Is a thought that is often in a boy's mind, but he is always glad that he is not a girl. But if by any dire calamity I were a girl there are a few points in which I would differ from the ordinary girl. I would be a girl with some grit and independence. I would not be a "wishy washy" girl that is afraid to go out when it rains. I would cultivate my muscle and be able to take care of myself. I would learn some occupation suitable for women and then if no boy offered himself I would be able to hoe my own row.
The girls that receive the most attention are not esteemed and respected by the boys half as much as some of those that are less flattered. The girls that like to be flattered are the ones that receive it but they
Another thing I would not do is to appear indifferent to the attentions that are shown me. If a boy thought something of me and tried to show it by his attentions and I appreciated his attentions, I would let no false modesty make me try to conceal it and on the other hand if his attentions were distasteful to me I would let him know it instead allowing an assumed politeness to encourage him. A boy is not blind and can easily tell if a girl thinks any thing of him. If there is any girl that a boy has a cnotempt for it is the girl that tries to be a flirt. She may always have a crowd of boys around her, but they will be as insecere as she is.
I would not appear too reserved and modest; girls think about as much of the boys as the boys do of the girls. The boys are perfectly aware of this fact and too much shyness is not appreciated. If I did not have two grown sisters, I should not speak with so much assurance, but a knowledge of some of their secrets (and they are not different from other girls.) gives me a basis for what I have said.
Pi Beta Phi.
Last Saturday the young ladies of Pi Beta Phi were favored by a very pleasant and practical talk from Prof. Carruth on the subject of work for women. Mr. Carruth discussed the influence of the higher education of women upon herself and those around her. He contrasted briefly, woman's opportunities for education and self support forty years ago, with her opportunities at present, and described the various professions and trades now open to her especially here in the west. Mr. Carruth very earnestly advices every girl to prepane herself for some bread winning occupation. The lecture was followed by an informal discussion of the subject.
The Blackstone Club
Is the name of a club organized one week ago last night, by the Senior Law class. Each member of the club is expected to make a speech at each meeting. The meetings will be held at the Court House every Friday evening.
The officers elected at the last meeting are: Merriam, president; Hill, vice-president; Edminister, secretary, and McIravy, treasure.
Academy of Dancing.
Bishop Foss' Address.
It has only been a short time since Prof. Reinfelds came to Lawrence and announced that he would give a course of lessons in dancing, and those who were at the National Bank Hall last Tuesday evening were surprised at the size of the class he has already secured. The Professor knows his business, is a polite* and affable gentleman and a thorough and experienced teacher in his line. His charges are reasonable and he has the use of the best hall in the city for his Academy of Dancing. We recommend all. K.S. U., students who wish to learn the art of dancing to take lessons from him, as we are confident he will give entire satisfaction.
All the churches of Lawrence were closed last Sunday evening and in consequence University H a was filled at an early hour. The pastors of the city occupied seats on the rostrum. A choir of young indies conducted by Prof. Wilcox furnished music for the occasion:
Choice cigars at Smith's News Depot.
Bishop Foss spoke for one hour and held the closest attention of the audience, which was composed so largely of young people. He took for his text Acts V-32.
"We are His witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Ghost whom God hath given to them that obey Him."
This is the age of science. There are two method of philosophy which may be presented by their greatest exponents, Plato and Bacon. During the last four hundred years all our modern sciences have been created, by experimental processes. It has been boldly claimed by skeptics and admitted by some uniformed Christians that this modern inductive method could not be used to establish the essential, the Christian doctrine. It is true that we cannot test God as we can his works, Christ himself refused often to give a sign to the incredulous Pharisees. But God himself has given us certain statements the truth of which we can establish by experiments as well as we can ascertain a principle in nature. It is said that there are eighteen thousand promises in the Bible; most of these can be tested directly and that the promises of the Lord are true there are thousands of witnesses all around us ready to testify.
Let us consider only two of these. First, "He that willeth to do the will of the Father he shall know of the doctrine whether it be good or whether it be evil." Here is a way by which any one can find out whether Christianity is true or not. No one has a right to deny what is claimed by these millions of Christians without trying the simple experiment which will settle the matter forever as far as he is concerned.
Second. "He that believeth or the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved." Here again all Christians will testify to the truth of the proposition. Does some scientific skeptic say he will take nothing on authority? Ask him if he has himself experimently proved that hydrogen is in the nebule of Orion, No, he takes it on the good authority of those who had the opportunity to find out. Does he object to believing in something he does not understand? Ask him to explain magnetism or even light. I will promise to explain completely the most difficult questions about the new birth if he will explain gravitation to me.
There is no discovery of which modern science boasts so much as that there is nothing useless or unessential in the universe. The ear proves the existence of the sounds of which it is the interpreter, the eye would not exist without light. How therefore can we explain the presence in all mankind of that yearning after the infinite, of the instinct of relying on a higher power unless we admit the existence of God toward whom we all turn for help?

Engagement of Robert Downing.
Robert Downing will appear at the Opera House in this city on Monday next supported by Miss Eugene Blair and his own legitimate company in his new successful play "The White Pilgrim." There is no young actor on the stage today that he made the rapid strides in his profession that Robert Downing has, and to-day he stands on an equal footing with the great actors of the stage having attained that distinguished position by hard work complied to true merit.
When McCullough failed—and it is a murmurl incident, as showing the extremes of Fate, that his last public appearance was in this character—when he failed, admirers of his sturdy, noble work sighed sadly, saying, There is none to succeed him." But the man is always equal to the occasion. Suddenly, while it yet was a regret that this or that one of the actors before the public was unsuited to these noble types of heroic character, a young actor springs into prominence, Robert Downing, (a young actor, who has been the leading support to Mary Anderson, Joseph Jefferson, Booth, and other prominent stars) has the physique of a gladiator and soul of an artist, and is peculiarly constituted—handsome, strong lusty, muscular. He possesses a voice that might have served for Stentor's in the days of old; has in the miider moods of character a musical sweetness, rich, melodious vibrant, that delights the hearer His face is firm, positive, resolute in cast, and yet it is strikingly hand some and obedient to the expression of every varying emotion. In intellectual power, Mr. Downing is the most promising of the young actors for the fine intelligence that mark his work is tempered and qualifies by the modesty of a sound judgment Manly in whatever he does, earnest sincere, conscientious, alwaas seeming to think the character greater than himself, Mr. Downing is on of the few actors made to rise.

Cable was delightful. The opera house was filled, and for about two hours the "culture" of Lawrence had the pleasure of listening to the clear, musical and pleasant voice of one of America's most pleasing authors. His rendition of the Cireole dialect was charming and the grace and ease with which the main features of the story of Dr. Sever were presented, captivated and held the audience to the end. It is not every day that western students have such opportunities offered as the lecture course of this year presents.
In 1879 80 Harvard Annex had 25 students, $3,725 were received in tuition fees, and $6,171 were paid out to instructors. In the school year 1888-89 the Annex recorded 115 students, received $15,400 as tuition, and paid salaries to instructors amounting to $14,-575. Hitherto but three colleges in the East have had annexes—Harrard, Cornell, and Columbia. The University of Pennsylvania, however, has just decided to add a college for women to its other departments. Yale and Princeton are considering the matter, and conservative old Baptist Brown has decided against the scheme. Still it is evident that the annex is surely coming to all our colleges. —Journal.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Franklin entertained a select company of friends at their home on Tennessee street last Wednesday evening in honor of Miss May Allen of Brooklyn, N.

Phi Kappa Psi.
In Honor of Miss Allen.
The Phi Psi gave a reception and banquet last Saturday evening in honor of Prof. F. W. Blackmar. The first part of the evening was taken up by an initiation; the fortunate victim being Mr. Bryce Crawford of Salina. The fraternity then repaired to Wiedeman's, where a spread was served. Prof. Blackmar presiding. After justice had been done to the good things, an interesting talks on college and fraternity life was given by Prof. Blackmar, who was followed by Prof. Dunlap of K. S. U. and Prof. Wood of Baker University, a Phi Psi of Pennsylvania Beta chapter. Dr. Eatsery, Mr. Frank Webster and Regent Spangler also responded to the call for speeches, and Phi Psi enthusiasm was thoroughly roused. The supper over and the toasts finished the company dispersed. Such fraternity reunions stir up the feeling of fellowship and the spirit of fraternity enthusiasm. Prof. Blackmar, in whose honor the spread was given, has deeply impressed the boys of Kansas Alpha by his splendid character and high attainments. He is a man of whom his fraternity way well be proud, and is a valuable addition to the faculty of Kansas University.
Miss Mattie Snow left Thursday morning for Massachusetts, where she will spend the winter with relatives near Boston. She was compelled to leave the University a short time ago on account of having trouble with her eyes, and will not return until next year. Her scores of friends, including the class of '91 with which she would have graduated greatly regret her absence from the University this year.
Carnival of Nations.
One of the most elaborate social events of this season was the Carnival of Nations reception tendered by the ladies of Pi Beta Phi at Frazer hall Friday night. The rooms usually bleak and barren, were beautifully decorated and relied on the monotony by porters hung around the walls. Various Japanese odds and ends were placed about the room in artistic random making the hall a very elegant reception room. A very pretty idea conceived by the ladies as to give a nationality to every one of the thirty or forty charming hostesses for which she should dress, and assume thereby the characteristic of her allotted nation. The costumes were many of them elegant and expensive and all of them becoming; and the scene presented by the beaming faces and familiar figures, in strange and bewitching foreign garbs was startlingly beautiful. The supper served in the Eldridge house was a study in cuisine art which should admit mine host Conn in to the salon of public favor as a model caterer. After supper the music of the Riverside mandolin club furnished inspiration for dancing which lasted until after midnight.
We take the following excellent write up of the I. C. party last Friday evening from the Sunday Journal;
It is due the ladies to say that no more successful nor enjoyable reception has been given in Lawrence this season. The art of entertaining is not a lost one among the ladies of Pi Beta Phi and their social efforts are always marked by a degree of success that only cordiality of manner and womanly hospitality can command. They with the other ladies fraternities have more than anything else raised Lawrence society to its present high standard where it is the envy of all other cities in Kansas or the west, and Kansas Alpha Pi Beta Phi, by reason of its early (s ablishment in the University, commands respect wherever University men or women go. Such oceasions as Friday night are in a large degree responsible for this.

Miss Price Entertains.
Informal parties are often the most enjoyable and certainly this is applicable to a very pleasant and equally informal gathering at the home of Miss Gussie Price. Friday evening. Music and dancing filled the evening and the time for departing was viewed as reluctantly as the time for arriving was expectant, by the guests who were Misses Orton, Capman, Fullerton, Hawkins, Grabe, Blaker; Mrs. Fred Bowersock, Messrs. Fred, Bowersock, Morris, Hair, Henshaw, McPherson, Overton, Pickering, Robinson. — *Tribune*

THE preparatory department of the University of Nebraska is to be abolished. Thus, one by one the leading Universities are dropping their preparatory departments and soon the prep will be unknown except in the jerkwater academies that style themselves Colleges and Universities.
THE Sophomores of the Nebraska University have started a paper that they call the Sophomerian. It is run for the amusement of the Sophomore class and asks for neither ads nor subscription. We fear they will find it rather expensive amusement.
Our correspondent "Bess" is attracting attention from our exchanges, as well as exciting considerable interest in K. S. U.
PRINCETON has changed the chapel hour from 8:45 to 9. a. m., and the first recitation is shortened fifteen minut s in order to give the foot ball team more time for practice. This is encouraging athletics with a vim.
THE Hesperian speaks of the Kappa Kappa Gamma "sorority." We predict that the fellow that wrote the local which used the above mentioned expression will not do so again, unless the Nebraska girls are different from their sisters in Kansas.
We receive exchanges from most of the State Universities of the west but Missouri seems to be somewhat exclusive. Can not the Argues condecent to exchange now and then? K, S, U students are interested in the doings of Missouri University and would be glad to have some news new and then.
At Illinois College it is difficult to secure men to accept positions on the college papers, and a writer in the lst issue of the Rambler laments t.e.fact that it is so hard to fill the staff. It would do his heart good to see the fights and the ex citement that are inseparable from an election to the staff o the papers here.
Now that the Base Ball and Tennis season is over, why don't the Foot Ball association get together and have the teams practiced It does not reflect very much credit to have it said that the University has no active Foot Ball team. It is a little embarrassing when some college wishes to arrange for a game to be compelled to answer that we have no team. It is late to begin, but if those who were members of the association last year will take the matter in hand, and have regular time for practice each week, much can yet be accomplished and some games arranged before the season is over.
The Review came out this week and contained a clipping from the Hesperian that was to the discredit of an alleged student of the University. We saw the article some time ago but at the time it did not make enough impression on us to elicit any comment as it was so indefinite in its charges and as we believed that it was written without any foundation on fact. A charge of that kind is easily made and as the writer was discreet enough to indulge in the vague statement "one Kansas mother" it is no use to deny it. However we might retaliate by saying we know one Nebraska mother that won't send her youngest son to the University, etc., and the Hesperian could not prove it otherwise. However we won't for we would lie, just as we believe the Hesperian has done.

The colleges of Illinois are ca ling each other names in an endea or to decide the number of visitors that a college is expected to entertain at the Oratorical Contests. They should come to K. S. U., at our next contest and see the number of visitors that the Kansas colleges send to the contests and then go home and feel ashamed. If every college in the state don't send at least twenty-five visitors and those nearest to us a hundred each the University boys would think they were treated shabbiily, instead of getting mad because too many were sent. What would some of the colleges that are engaged in the afo emended dispute think if they see a delegation of about two hundred that the university usually ends to the contest Our visitors never lack for entertainment, either.
BEFORE our next issue the University Ball will have become a thing of the past, and the question as to whether or not such a scheme may be successfully carried out here in K. S. U., will have been settled. Much has been said of this plan and we will not now attempt to re-say all the arguments in its favor, nor is it necessary, for one of the Committee informs us that there have been about seventy-five tickets sold, and that others who can not attend the Ball have evidenced their desire for its success by a subscription of money instead. Does anyone doubt that it will, be a success, we hope he will see this showing made by the Committee some little time ago and be assured.
Every one cries for a gymnasium, and all declare their willingness to help that along in any way possible; here, then, is their opportunity, for there can be no more important part of the means of physical training than the ball ground, tennis court, and fields for kindred sports. You are wanted at the Ball; if you do no dance or do not care for that sort of thing come anyway and look on at least for a short time. If however, you do not attend at all, still you are not precluded from showing your enthusiasm and interest in the beginning of a gymnasium and of a movement in the direction of physical training, for a subscription of the price of a ticket or as much as you can give will be thankfully received by the committee in charge of the Ball, for their mission is not to get up the Ball for the amusement it may furnish, but instead the Ball is merely a secondary matter, a means by which the end, the raising of a sufficient sum of money to make a start, at least, on our Athletic grounds, may be more easily attained. We urge once more, and for the last time, the attendance and assistance of every loyal student of K. S. U.
It is not often that one gets an opportunity to save something on soap, but now that time has come. A lot of Eastman Perfumed Soaps just in at the "Blue Mortar" and are offered at half price. Try Raymond & Dick's latest.
"One wilful breakage of the ten o'clock rule gives five demerits, one wilfull breakage of the attendance at church rul. gives five demerits, one wilful breakage of the rule concerning absence from town gives five demers. Fifteen demerits suspends the offender from the institution." That's the word with the bark on it.—Beaco .
Let's see. With the above rules how long could the average University student stay in the University? The first night he gets to town he goes to see his girl; gets home at 11 p.m. F ve demerits. If the second day is Sunday he is all right for he goes to church; if it is not Sunday of course he is all right any how, unless he goes to Baldwin to see his Baker girl as he is apt to do, in which case he will have en demerits. The next night he stays at home and is all right, but the next night he is pretty apt to want to see his girl again and has fifteen demerits to his credit. About four days; rather a short term of school. However if our faculty were to adopt any such set of rules we suppose the K. S. U. students would learn all those little arts of deception so prevalent at Baker and without doubt would soon be able to lie about the time he got home the night before, with as clear a conscience as the champion liars of Baker.
Who will enter the contest this year? The time is drawing near and those who are contemplating entering the contest should be making their preparations. Too often the contestants here delay their preparation until the last minute and then hastily write an oration and still more hastily prepare it and thus fail to do themselves and the University justice. The University should win the contest this year and will if those intending to enter will begin now to prepare themselves and keep it up until the contest. The representatives of the University pay less attention to their preparation than those of any other institution in the State. The other schools all have instructors in elocution and their services are brought into use for months before the contest. The contestants here, depend on their own ability to guide them in their preparation with the exception of the little assistance that they may receive from some member of the faculty that has some knowledge of elocution. It is not the intention to complain of the success of our representatives for it has been far better than any one could expect, K. S. U. having won about half of the total number of the contests that have been held, but because we have been so successful should urge us on to endeavor to make our future record even better than our past.

ONE of the University reporters for one of the city papers says that he is going to quit writing for the papers, that it gets one into trouble. He has no doubt been writing something about some of the girls fraternities that was not taken in the right spirit. If so he has our sympathy. Experience has taught us how unpleasant it may be for one to say the wrong thing about so sensitive a topic as a girl's fraternity.
THE local contest at Ottawa will be held December 13. Their representative will have two months more to prepare himself for the state contest than our representative. Why don't our association change its bylaws so the contest will be held earlier?
The bad weather last Friday prevented several students from attending college —Washburn Reporter. Nothing short of a second flood would prevent O U's. students from attending their classes, and then an ark would be seen floating toward the college with most of them on board.—Campus:

"As braven man as e'er was seen
With heart as pure, and soul as clean
As mortal man may have." Thus said
Fair lady once, also! now dead.
"He is my Knight; I am his Queen."
And in that olden time I ween,
With visor raised, the vision keen
Of our y a bold on fair face fed.
Oh-o, those knights of ours.
But now no lace. And yet I e'en
Would tell a tale. The moon—beams sheen
Made radiant two, whose footsteps led
To leafy bower. And then one said
"Mc-ow, sweet puss, be mi en me bm-een."
Oh-o, those nights of ours.
German Club.
The members of the German Club had promised themselves a very interesting program for last Saturday evening. The young gentlemen were to describe their feminine ideals in the best German at their command. But they either failed to find an ideal on such short notice or hesitated to describe her publicly. At any rate the attendance consisted mainly of the feminine members of the club. The gentlemen present, however, did their duty bravely and the evening passed very pleasantly. It is hoped that the boys will overcome their reticence before the next meeting.
The Philological Club.
At the Philological club Friday night Mr. Winkler spoke of Rousseau's life and philosophy. Rousseau, he said, was not an original thinker, but absorbed the thoughts of the great writers of ancient and modern times, especially John Locke. He appeared at the time when the great battle raged in France between the church and philosophers. The church was trying to stem the current of intellectual enlightenment, the philosophers were spreading knowledge and destroying what they considered prejudice and superstition. Rousseau could not side with either of these two parties. He cared neither for religious dogma, nor for the cold knowledge of the philosophers. Instead of trying to discover fields of knowledge without, he looked within, to the heart, the feelings; and hence demanded the abandonment of the sterile fields of art and literature, and a return to nature. This idea was the base of the sentimentalism which has spread over Europe. In consonance with this idea, Rousseau tried to reconstruct society. History was to be obliterated, and all was to begin over again. Rousseau began with the declaration of the equality of man, which led to the conception of the equal division of property, to the French revolution, and to all the socialistic and communistic movements which have since disturbed mankind. Rousseau was a type of the principles he expounded. He felt, he did not reason. He asserted, he did not prove. When asked how he arrived at his system, he answered, "I feel it, hence it must be true."
Prof. Wilcox told the club about the fourth volume of the catalogue of the Peabody Library of Baltimore just presented to the University library; about Sir Geo. Young's new English translation of Sophocles; the settlement of the differences between Erickmann and Chatrian and the rehabilitation of their old literary copartnership, and showed the club the five new folio volumes of the English architect Penrose on "The Principles of Athenian Architecture."

Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.
The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A, held their first union meeting Friday night in room 11. The meeting was devoted to foreign missions. A very interesting and instructive talk was given on the spiritual condition of China by H. B. Hall in which he showed the great need of more missionaries in this country. This was followed by a paper on India by Miss Nettie Goodell. She described the program of the work in this country showing that the outlook was very favorable, yet there is a great need for workers. The meeting then adjourned to meet one week at the usual place. The associations hope to announce another missionary meeting in the near future.
Unity Club.
The meeting of this club last Monday night proved to be one of the most delightful of the season. The president, Mr. Whitman opened with some general remarks quoting from the life of Emerson by his son. He was followed by Rev. John S. Brown who read a carefully prepared paper on the Essay Nature which was listened to with deep interest. Mr. Brown is 83 years of age but is as vigorous mentally as a young man of forty. Mrs. S. F. Grubb then read a short paper on the essay "Self Reliance," with some choice extracts. Mrs. Grubb is an enthusiastic admirer of Emerson and we wish that every student in the University could have heard her earnest words on Self Reliance. An extract was read from Emerson's Journal in which he says that true Self Reliance is reliance on God. Will White then spoke in his usual straight forward manner on the essay "Combination," giving his idea of what the teaching of the essay was and bearing testimony to the great help it had been to him. The rest of the evening was occupied with a spirited discussion of the different papers in which quite a number of those present took part. The evening proved so pleasant and profitable to all that the club voted unanimously to continue the subject for the meeting next Monday, when Dr. Howland will speak of "Emerson as a Poet." Mrs. A. L. Diggs will take the essay on Poetry and Imagination and Miss Sarah Brown will read a beautiful explanation of his poem entitled "The Sphinx." All students who can spare the time should avail themselves of this opportunity to learn of Emerson and his works

The announcement that Prof. Marvin would read to the Science Club the first of a series of essays on "Methods of Book Illustration" attracted many whose faces are not often seen in the club room. It is a rare treat to hear the mainfold and intricate methods of modern picture making processes described by one who combines artistic discrimination with such power of clear explanation as Prof. Marvin. Students who are not otherwise engaged should not fail to hear the remaining papers. He divided engraving into two divisions, wood in which the print is from the raised parts of the plate and metal where the ink is held in depressed lines. The former will be described on some future evening.
Science Club.
Thre are four kinks of metal ear graving. First, copper and steel a style which was much in vogue thirty or forty years ago. In this the plate is engraved with a burin a tool with a diamond shaped point which cuts a channel with sloping sides. In printing the surface of the plate isinked and then the ink is wiped off leaving it only in the lines. In the second process, etching, the manner of printing is similar but the method of preparing the plate is different, a copper plate is coated with a thin layer of wax which is blacked by smoking through this coating the lines are cut by a needle, a little bank of wax is then raised around the plate and nitric acid is flowed over it, this eats the exposed lines but does not attack the waxed surface. When the lines are deep enough the acid is poured off and the plate washed If necessary lines that are not deep enough are now covered with wax and other lines cut and the acid poured on again This way the required depth of line can be obtained. These lines have straight sides and therefore can hold more ink than the lines engraved with a burin. In printing the plate isinked, wiped, and passed through rollers while in contact with the paper. Etching is the most artistic method of picture printing because of its simplicity and because the line have different degrees of blackness giving great variety of tone. There is no mechanical "middle-man" interposed between the artist an the reader, a plate which would require two or three years of patient engraving by the old process can be etched by the artist himself in a few hours. The third method, dry point work, different from ordinary copper engraving in that the tool used is not a burin but a needle sharped tool, the line is a scratch not a cut and there is a "bur" or rough ridge on each side of the line which the ink. The lines are more irregular and half tints can be made. In the fourth process, mezzotint, the plate is roughened by working it with a "rocker." It would then print solid black but the lights may be put in by polishing the required points with a burner. The print is thus
Lithograph is now used only in commercial work and chromo printing. The process rests on the mutual antipathy of grease and water. The picture is drawn with oil and a porous stone. The stone is then wet with water, and inked. The ink clings only on those lines which are greasy. In colored pictures each color is printed by a separate stone.
in light and dark masses of various intensity but without lines.
The remainder of the paper was devoted to photography as applied to book illustration, the antotypes. carbon prints, and platinotypes.
W. S. Franklin followed with a review of important articles in the "Philosophical Magazine," mentioning particularly the numerous articles on the experiments of Hertz proving the identity of light and electricity.
In miscellaneous science notes Prof. Murphy mentioned a scheme for a bridge across the English Channel, and for a tower at Chicago (if it gets the worlds fair) which is to be sixteen hundred feet high with a circular roadway four miles long running up it.

The Review came out Wednesday and an excellent number it was. The literary department was unusually interesting, and the editors' bright and spicy. A very interesting sketch of the history of the Review was given in the editorial column, and an interesting "Month." (not "Mouth") put the finishing touches on a number which does great credit to Bear, the able editor-in-chief.

It has been the opinion of many of the Political Science students that the programs of the Seminary are made too long. It would be better to have shorter programs and have the meetings weekly instead of bi-weekly.
No rates will be given students for the Thanksgiving holidays by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe R. R. This is unfortunate, for many more of our students would go home than otherwise, if the railroads reduced the fare.

The many social affairs of the past week have kept the University "upper ten" on the go. We sometimes think that a little less socialism and a little more work would be good medicine for some of our University students.
Just twenty years ago next year Orophilian Society was founded. In 1866, when the University was first opened a society called the Acropolis was started, which was changed to the name of Orophilians. The members considering the question of celebrating their 20th Anniversary.
Our system of printing the program for each Friday evening is doing somebody some good. We notice the correspondent of the Tribune prints them regularly. We believe this is a good way to advertise our literary societies.
Ex-Gov. Robinson lectured before the Business College students last Friday afternoon on "Early Kansas History."
The fact that the two principal literary societies in the University discussed the matter of resubmission last Friday evening ought by rights to set some crank going about the "looseness" of University students. The question will not be resubmitted however, since Orophillan decided unanimously to the contrary.
The old literary societies, Orophilian and Atheneum, are going to have a high carnival at their contest. The programme as at present arranged will be as follows:

Last Thursday afternoon Mrs. MacDonald entertained a number of the members of her fraternity (Kappa Alpha Theta) by giving a very pleasant luncheon at her home on South Tennessee street. Only alumna members of the fraternity were present and the time was delightfully spent in reminiscence of the "good old times" of a few years ago. Those present were: Mrs Scott Hopkins, of Horton; Mrs. Geo T Nicholson and Miss Carrie Nicholson, of Topeka; Miss Kate Ridenour and Fannie Pratt, Mrs. Ernest Munsell, Mrs. Herbert Beaty, G G A Lewis, Miss Eidemiller, Mrs Watson.
Friday evening Miss Marcella Howland entertained the University senior class of which she is a member, at her home on Mississippi street. College songs were sung during the evening, and various literary and social diversions occupied the guests. An elaborate lunch was served and the party broke up with the college yell：“Rock-chalk-jay-hawk-kay-oo.” The class of '90 is one of the most active socially that has been in the University for several years, and as the winter season approaches many pleasant social events like the one Friday are anticipated. The members of the class are Misses Hattie Fellows, Emma Bar tell, Helen Sutliff, Inez Taggart, Emma Dunn, Florence Reasoner, Nettie Goodell, Marcella Howland; Messrs. Wm Hill, Fred Lideke, A L Burney, H F M Bear, S C Brewster, J A Mushrush, Park Williamson, L D Henshaw, Edward Stimpson, Fred Pickering, N C Brooks, Ed Esterly, W H Reynolds, Harry Radcliffe, C M Watson, E E Slosson, BJ Dalton, W R Armstrong.
KAPPA ALPHA THETA.
Full Dress Vests at Abe Levy's.
The members of Kappa chapter, Kappa Alpha Theta held a most delightful meeting Saturday afternoon at the beautiful home of Mrs. Walter Howe. The special feature of the meeting was a musicale rendered by the members of the fraternity, and in the execution of this showed they occupy the same high position in music as in all other accomplishments. Misses Pratt, Ridenour and Eldemiller, members who were in the University several years ago were present at the meeting The fraternity will begin in a few weeks to study mythology and one week from next Saturday Prof. Wilcox will deliver an introductory address, on the subject, before the chapter.
Kappa Alpha Theta has always enjoyed an enviable reputation in the social circles of Lawrence, and it is with no small degree of pleasure that their friends receive the announcement that they are to give a party in the near future.

Phi Delta Theta.
Last Saturday evening the members of Kansas Alpha, Phi Delta Theta gave their Seventh Anniversary Stag Banquet to their Alumni and city members. The spirit of friendship and fraternal love that always characterizes "The Phi Dhi Stag" was present and it was a jolly time enjoyed by the assemblage. The occasion was especially memorable by the presence of three of the Charter members of the Chapter, T. J, Shall, of Hiawatha, B. T, Chace, of Kansas City, Mo.
and E. F. Caldwell of Lawrence, and many interesting reminiscences of the early life of the Chapter were given.

Wheelmen's Tournament.
The first annual tournament of the Lawrence Wheelmen took place at the driving park yesterday afternoon before a large crowd, who had assembled to show their appreciation to this newly organized association.
The members of the club, accompanied by several outside competitors, the judges, Mrsars. Field, Sinclair and Levy, and a number of friends, formed in procession at the corner of Pinkney and Massachusetts streets at 2 o'clock, and proceeded to the park.

ORATOMICAL ASSOCIATION of the students of K. S. U., L. T. Smith, President; C. P. Chapman, Secretary; Executive Committee: E. M. Munford, Chas Voorish, Fred Lideke.
The following gentlemen have announced their intention of entering the local oratorial contest: S. W. Naylor, D. H. Platt, H. D. Tucker, J. F. Lawson, W. S. McClintock. —Reporter.
We are acquainted with the Oratorical ability of three of the above named gentlemen and can assure our orators that it will be no easy matter to keep Washburn from obtaining the State contest this year.
W. T. B. is nothing if not sarcastic, but we are not entirely crushed yet and not withstanding his assertion to the contrary, our artic.e concerning "the minority of the mock iniators" has received the endorsement of the faculty and the majority of the mock iniators, they seeming to hold altogether different view of the matte.
INTER-COLLEGIATE athletic contests in connection with the similar oratorical contests seem to have become quite popular. Kansas and Ohio are now agitating the question. The Illinois colleges have tried the plan and have found it to work very nicely.—Lombard Review.
We see the importance that is being given to this matter by other states, Kansas can not afford to be behind in this if we are to enjoy the same standard in this that we do in most everything else. Other states are organizing athletic associations and we would like to hear from the other colleges of the state as to their opinion of the advisability and practicability of a Kansas InterCollegiate Athletic Association.
In order to meet the wants of the graduates of Lane University and other colleges we offer to them a non-resident Course in Philosophy. The aim is to encourage studious men and women to rise as high as possible in Christian culture. Persons not graduates who give evidence of sufficient intellectual attainments to pursue the course with profit will be admitted to this course of study. The completion of two years of the course of study leads to the master's degree. The completion of the full course of three years study leads to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.—Echoes.
We suppose the next thing in order is for high schools to begin granting degrees. Degrees are certainly becoming of little value when a University that can hardly aspire to the name of college much less to that of university grants the degree of Ph.D. It is certainly time to call a halt. What does it profit a man to have Ph.D. written after his name, no matter how high the standard of his University be, when a graduate of some third rate Academy may have the same degree and there is no outward distinction between the two?
Most students will take this issue of the KANTAN to their homes and perhaps it will be read by many that are contemplating entering the University. Knowing that it would probably be read by a great many that are interested in the University we have given considerable space to an account of the University and its working of a nature that is not found in the catalogue but that is what many persons are desirous of knowing. In addition to what is given in the article referred to we would most earnistly recommend any one that is contemplating entering college in the near future to consider the University well before deciding. The Kansas State University is recognized as one of the leading Universities of the country and the day is now past when a Kansan must send his children to the East to college. The number of Eastern schools that surpass the University is very small and many of them that pride themselves on their age and reputation will not bear a comparison with Kansas' own University.
Pat Graham's is the place to get your cobbling done.
The ball for the benefit of the Athletic Association came off last evening and was a grand success both socially and financially. The net proceeds will be close to Seventy-five dollars and though a small sum towards accomplishing the object for which the money was raised it will serve to give th: Athletic Association an impetus. Much more is expected to be raised by subsc iption. Many who did not buy a ticket have promised to give something to the fund and it is hoped that before a long time enough can be raised to justify the Athletic Associations beginning work to fix the grounds at the North end of the Campus.
How pleasant it is to go in the Library and sit down to study and just about the time that you are interested in your lesson have some one take his position near you and begin an animated conversation, then when you give up in despair the endeavor to study and start to talk to somebody yourself, immediately be pounced upon and told to keep quiet or get out of the Library. It is little things like this that make one weary of life. It is all well enough not to allow talking in the Library but when some one else can talk and you can't you don't see the use of the rule. Because a person is in a way connected with the faculty it does not make the noise of his conversation any the less annoying and he and others who enjoy the privilege of talking in the Library should be ejected to the hall, even if it would cause them to feel bad.
THANKSGIVING has come again and with it the usual vacation. It brings to every college student the mingled thoughts of reverence and pleasure—reverence for a custom armly imbedded in our social system and pleasure by the thoughts of home and rest.
To-morrow college halls will be deserted and all over this broad land of ours happy reunions will take the place of monotonus recitations, some there are indeed who will forget the import of the day and loose the benificient influences it has in store for the more considerate, but the former are the exception among that class of men and women who frequent colleges and universities. Students lay aside their work, some going home to enjoy the accustomed blessings around the parental board, others less fortunate remaining behind. After a few days recreation all will return and after a cordial greeting resume their studies with renewed vigor and more searching application.
A negro was elected class orator by the seniors at Cornell, but, owing to the manner of his nomination, resigned his position. He refused to hallow "the method of college poli-aces" to be used in connection with ti's name.

Facts About the University.
At a recent meeting of the Faculty it was decided to publish the annual catalogue during the fall term, instead of waiting as heretofore until the close of the University year in June. This will be an advantage over the old method in several respects, and will conform to the established usage of the best eastern colleges. A catalogue at the end of the academic year is stale as soon as issued, and the only argument for such delay has been the fact that in this way only was it possible to give the full attendance of students. This argument was considered insuperable in the earlier years of the history of our University, since the number of new students in the second half of the year was then almost as large as in the first half. But the development of the University from its early condition as a preparatory school into an institution whose real character is somewhat in unison with its name, has continually increased the difficulty of securing an entrance into classes after the work of the year has fairly commenced. Hence the attendance of the first term is not now materially increased by the accessions of the second term, and their remains no good reason why a fresh catalogue should not be issued early in the year. Every student will then possess a handbook of information for actual guidance during the work of the academic year, and the Board of Regents will be able to place a new catalogue, instead of a last years almanac, in the hands of the members of the Legislature. The copy for the forthcoming catalogue is already in an advanced stage of preparation, and we are permitted to publish the following interesting facts concerning the attendance of students. The total enrollment of 493 exceeds that of any previous year in the history of the institution at so early a date. The number of regular collegiate students is 204, a very gratifying increase over the 131 of last year. Of this number 143 are young men and 61 are young women. Last year there were only 35 young women in the collegiate department. In the total attendance of 493, there are 323 young men and 170 young women, the proportion of the sexes being almost identical with that of last year. The law department exhibits a notable increase in numbers, there being already an enrollment of 56 young men,—and more coming. The Pharmacy department numbers 28 young men and 3 young women. There are 13 young women in the advanced course in music, and 61 special students, 53 young women and 8 young men, in various branches, including music, painting, drawing and preparatory medical studies. In only one department of the University is there a serious diminution of attendance as compared with the preceding year. This is in the department of Elementary Instruction, and the falling off in the number of subfreshmen from 207 last year to 138 this year is one o
the most encouraging facts in the present situation, especially when considered in connection with the equally eloquent fact that the enrollment in genuine University courses is more than correspondingly increased. Next year the number of preparatory students will be still further reduced, and year after next the preparatory department will have entirely disappeared. The University will then for the first time be able to devote its entire energies to its legitimate work and can fairly c aim equal rank with the best educational institutions of the land.
The 204 Collegiate students of the present year are distributed as follows:
Postgraduates ... 13
Seniors ... 24
Juniors ... 16
Sophomores ... 36
Freshmen ... 103
Specialists ... 12
The representation of undergraduate students in the several collegiate courses is as follow :
Latin Scientific... 62
Modern Literature... 35
Classical... 32
General Scientific... 17
Civil Engineering... 17
Electrical Engineering... 12
Natural History... 4
The fact that more than one-third of the collegiate undergraduates are taking the Latin Scientific course is to be explained not simply from the instrinsic excellence of that course, but from the greater facility with which the State High Schools are able to provide instruction in the Latin and German required for that course, as compared with the French and Greek required for the other courses. The small number of students in the special Natural History course, although larger now than at any previous time in the history of the University is by no means an index of the amount of instruction given in that department which reaches all students of the collegiate classes.
With the addition of Messrs Blackmar, Winkler, E. C. Franklin, Stevens, and Hopkins, the Board of Instruction now contains 33 members The new Professors and Assistants are winning golden opinions from both students and the public, and the Alumni of the University and the citizens of Kansas, whose institution we are, may rest assured that every effort is being put forth by an able Faculty to extend to Kansas young men and women "the highest culture of which the age is capable." The generous appropriations of the last Legislature for books and other educational apparatus are being expended with great care, and our libraries, laboratories and museums are being enriched by the latest and best appliances for a thorough intellectual training. The University of Kansas has outgrown and outlived the once deserved appellation of a Lawrence High School, and now stands confessedly at the head of the public school system of the State. That this position is universally conceded is emphasized by the fact that no less than 40 students from other Kansas Colleges entered the University at the beginning of the present term.

I watched her as she passed by gate.
With form so pleasing fair,
My heart leaped up aga net its walls
And knocked for cress there.
I caught the ray of bright blue eyes,
Quick raised wi h soft control,
The which 'neth silken lashes gleamed
Like windows of the roul.
I marked the conscious winning smile.
What could weat th eclipse,
And heard the sweet "Good Morning" fall
From rosy-tinted lips.
I listened till her footfalls sound,
Yat faint and fainter grew.
I watched her till the distance dim,
Obscured my further view.
And when at last I turned my gaze
(Fond hopes insatiate)
I wished another morn would speed,

A THANKSGIVING STORY.
A Tale of True Love.
CHAP. I.
The afternoon before Thanks-
giving, in the year 187- , Edward
B---- and William S---- , two
students of K. S. U. left Lawrence,
to spend the Thanksgiving vacation
at the home of B---- .
B——, as must he known, was a Sophomore, and S—— was a Freshman. Although, the two had known each other but little over a month they had become fast friends, and S—— had accepted an invitation from B—— to visit him at his home.
S——was a type of youth by no means rare. He was what is commonly known as a "versatile" youth. He chose to regard himself as a "lady killer," and took a great deal of pride in recounting the various hearts he had broken, and the desire that was uppermost in his mind was, that before returning to school another broken heart might be added to an already long list.
And he was not to be disappoited.
CHAP. II.
Attending Bethany College, at Topeka, B——had a cousin, Miss Ella B——, and it happened that she had also concluded to take advantage of the Thanksgiving vacation, and visit at B——'s home. This cousin was very pretty and possessed all the charms and fascinations appertaining to the girl from a female college and consequently she was just the girl to strike his fancy.
He first made her acquaintance at supper, the evening of his arrival and and at once became enamored with her charms. He spent a most delightful evening in her company and when he said good night it was with the thought that she was certainly the most agreeable girl he ever met.
CHAP. III.
B—— belonged to a good old Methodist family and next morning the household prepared to attend church to offer praise for the blessings of the past year and to invoke continued happiness and prosperity during the coming year.
short time of their acquaintance he had given up all ideas of heart breaking, etc. It was a genuine attachment this time.
Of course it came quite naturally for S—— to escort Miss B—— to church, B—— being a cousin and not much of a ladies man anyhow. S—— was in ecstacles for in the
S—— heard little of the sermon that day. His thoughts were on the fair being at his side and when the services were over and S—— walked home at her side he was transported from this world of sorrow and care, to that land where all is sunshine and happiness.
For four days, S——remained intoxicated by the presence of his fair divinity. He was ever at her side. However, all did not go as well for him as he might have wished. She always treated him with politeness and courtesy, but nothing more. For once his charms had failed to work. He showed her every attention possible but she maintained the same coldness towards him. He was in despair.
Bright and clear the morning of departure arrived and with it the revival of S——'s spirits for that morning Miss B—— had exerted herself to treat him pleasantly and he was now in the very elyseum of his bliss, and he was overjoyed when he found that she was to return to her work on the same train with him.
That was a memorable ride to him. For a long time he remembered it How happy he was as the train sped rapidly along, B like the good friend and dutiful cousin that he was, had early taken his place in a forward car and left the happy couple to themselves. How they chatted and what loving glances they cast at each other. And then as the train neared Topeka, thoughts of parting began to grieve him, how his heart swelled with joy as he saw her brush a tear away. Then another one and stil others in such rapid succession that her handkerchief was soon wet with tears. Then he began to console her, and to assure her that in spite of the strict rules of Bethany he would continue to see her. But all of his words were in vain, for as the train stopped at Topeka, "It's all right now" the said as she removed the annoying particle of dust from her eye and as her face lit up with unaffected joy as she caught sight of her Topeka fellow anxiously awaiting her arrival, and a moment later as S——heard the cordial "Why, Charly, I am so glad to see you again," he sank back into his seat with a sigh of sadness.
He had broken another heart, but it was his own.

SYLVIA
The college department of the W. C.T.U. has decided to address a letter to the president and faculty of every college in the country asking them to forbid the use of intoxicating drinks at college banquets and class meetings. This is a good idea, but the committee will save time and trouble by taking Washburn off the list, for her students never drink on such occasions.

Much interest has been manifested in Kansas concerning the proposed Methodist University at Topeka. A meeting was recently held in Topeka to take action and we find the following account of the meeting in the Washburn Reporter:
The meeting at the Grand Opera House last week, in the cause of higher education, possesses a peculiar interest for the students of Washburn. The meeting was called for the purpose of presenting to the people of Topeka the claims of the new Methodist University which is soon to be erected west of the city. And surely, if the appeals of genuine enthusiasm and of brilliant oratory have any effect upon the destinies of our institutions of learning, the future of the University is bright. Gov. Humphrey presided over the meeting. The introductory address was made by Bishop Ninde, of Topeka, who briefly set forth the purposes for which the University was founded, and the hopes that were entertained of its success. The bishop paid high compliments to Bethany and Washburn, referring to the latter as one of the foremost educational institutions in the west. The presence of the bishops of the Methodist church was a fortunate occurrence, and will undoubtedly contribute in a great measure to the success of the movement. Bishop S. M. Merrill, of Chicago, followed Bishop Ninde. He held the liberal view that the public schools should be kept non-sectarian, but that Chris Ian influence and religious education should be sought and found in the colleges and Universities of our land. The address by Bishop C. H. Fowler, late president of the Northwestern University, at Evanston, Illinois, was probably the most elaborate and brilliant effort of the evening. Lack of space prevents us from mentioning the many striking truths and eloquent arguments which he advanced, but, judging from the enthusiastic reports of the students who were present, the impression made will be a lasting one. Addresses were also made by Judge John Martin, Judge John Guthrie, Dr. Linn, Hon. T. Dwight Thatcher and other speakers of local repute.
