HONOR'S FIELD.
Where the Vicious Victim of an Unearthly Joke Brought the Blood that Rights all Wrongs.
How in a Deadly Combat Dan Crew Proved His Metal, but Fell Bleeding at Every Vein.
Since the recent rise, decline and fall of the lamented R. K. T. and all those who gave their lives and honor in its defense, our own social atmosphere has been just a little breezy with the tales and stories of similar deeds. Deeds that mark the holy halcyon days of K. S. U. and give to the student much that he loves to hear and talk about.
He had often heard of the famous Crew-Menberg duel, an incident that always seemed to have about it more of blood and thunder and dash and daring than was calculated for the adornment of the average, every day joke. He had only got mere bits about it and he determined to hunt it down, get it all, and get it straight. He did.
"One day about the middle of July in 1885, there came to Lawrence a young man about twenty one, Mr. P. A. Menberg, by name, who hailed from Leavenworth. He seems to have come here as the friend of Mr. Al. Lewis, simply to spend a few days as a visitor. He was quite a clever fellow and made a very good impression among the ladies. But he became a terrible bore to the boys, whom he followed about with imprudence. He finally became "broke" and fell back on the mercy of the boys. That was just a little to much of a good thing: so
"Oh, you want me to tell it all, do you?" were the first pleasant words of Mr. Crew. "Well here goes," and he settled himself in a masterly way as though he meant business.
The Courier man has not been the least heedless to the happy traditions of our favored institution. Indeed he has heard and hunted them with no little pride and gratification.
The Courier man exercised his dog sense and at once struck the trail of Mr. Dan Crew. He cornered the affable and talented gentleman of the class of '87 at the city residence of Uncle Sam. Mr. Crew was told the purpose of our hot pursuit and, with a kindness unsurpassed, he pleasantly consented to tell us all-all about the great Crew-Menberg duel. And did you know that Dan is a consummate talker. You aught to hear him spin this yarn—one in which he takes such an interesting part. It would do your soul good to hear him tell it as he told it to the Courier. We can never do it justice on paper and we ask pardon for our imperfect attempt.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC. 7, 1889.
thought the boys and they determined to "tea him."
But right here I must tell you to make the story complete that there was a crowd of fellows, with Billy Bromersick and Al Lewis at their head, who had it in for our crowd; and they saw here an opportunity to get even.
One night I, with the help of Tom Irving, Ed. Fairchild and others took him snipe hunting. We drove him out to Buck Creek, twelve miles from town and there left him. It was a horrible night. I never saw it rain so in all my life. We rode home — he walked —walked twelve miles through the mud and storm. We saw him the next morning. He was pleasant and laughed heartily over the joke that had been played on him. But that didn't end it. On his long tramp home that night he lost his silk hat. It was found the next morning and brought to towu by a farmer, who left it at the Journal office. The Journal was on to the snipe hunt and correctly guessed whose hat it was. And in that day's issue they made some funny "crack" about it, telling the owner that he could have it by coming to the office and indentifying it. Well, that was the straw that broke the camel's back, for it made Menberg as mad as a hornet He said it was adding insult to injury and he wouldn't stand it. He wanted to know who caused the publication of the item. He swore vengeance against him. The Journal claimed to be innocent and so, not to show coward on our part, I came out and said I wrote the article.
They at once became pretended fast friends of Menberg and made him believe that he had been grossly insulted. They got him to demand an apology from me. And that morning a note was brought to me, which read about this way:
Well, us fellows got to-gether and determined to have some more fun at Menbergs expense. Then I answered his note as followes:
Mr. Crew, I have been grossly insulted by you and I demand an apology of you. P. A. Menberg.
That, of course, only added fuel to the fire. And in a short time I received a second note, wherein he demanded satisfaction and said he would have it. I wrote back as follows:
Mr. Menberg, Sir: The apology be d----m. Dan Crew.
Mr. Menberg, If you want satisfaction, make your demand in the usual form. Dan Crew.
No.13
Then followed the challenge, just as we had expected.
You must bear in mind that Menberg was, during all this, in dead earnest, urged on to desperation by his supposed friends. Of course I accepted his challenge.
Mr. Crew: I hereby challenge you to mortal combat. Choose your second, time, place and weapons. P.A.Menberg.
Mr. Menberg: I accept your challenge to mortal combat. Place, Bismarck Grove, time, 2 o'clock to-day, weapons, double barrell shot guns. Dan Crew.
That settled it. Preparations were immediately made for the duel. The news broke loose and spread like wild fire over the city. It was the only topic of conversation. You must remember that Menberger was all this time in dead earnest, He saw no fun in it. He meant business and that made the joke all the better. Of course his friends knew the joke, and while making him the victim they were trying to turn the tables on us. Well, the appointed hour came, and we went to Bismarck Grove, followed by one of the biggest crowds that was ever seen in Lawrence. You see, everybody knew it was all a big joke and they wanted to see the fun. We reached the 'bloody sands.' John Donnelly was my second and EdFairchild was Menberg's. Thirty spaces were stepped off and our weapons were given us, loaded, of course with blank cartrages, that is they were supposed to be. But it was afterwards found out that the barrell of Menberg's gun, which he did not fire, contained a load of shot that would have killed a bear. This mistake was caused by the blunder of his supposed friends, who misplaced the cartriages. That Menberg did not fire the loaded barrell was the sheeriest accident, and since that awful moment I have reason to believe myself one of the luckiest men on earth.
But to return. The duel was carried out under the strictest rules. We were placed back to back, and with the shot of a pistol we turned and fired. I instantly fell upon my face, breaking at the same time, a bladder of chicken blood I had concealed under my shirt. I acted as though I had been mortally wounded, and the running blood looked like it. The crowd gathered around me in great excitement. Just then I heard rapid pistol shots near by. Then began one of the wildest stampedes I ever saw. In an instant I could not see a soul. Every body had disappeared. I found out after the affray that it was Menberg who had done the extra shooting. That, you know, is where he turned the tables, that
was was his part of the fun. Right after he fired the people gathered around him. He must have thought that they were going to mob or arrest him, for as quick as lightening he jerked out a pistol and began a promiscuous shooting. You can easily imagine the effect of such an act. The scene for a while was simply terrible, everybody thought that he was a goner and ran for dear life. But presently his friends got control of him and brought him up town.
I, of course, was playing possum I had to carry out the joke. I was put in a big pine box and carried up to the Eldridge house. I shall never forget that ride and that pine box. It was one of the hotest days in July and the sun came down on my face like fire. I almost roasted.
Yes, I was taken to the Eldringe house and laid out on a billiard table. The boys covered my face with powder and they say I did look awfully like a real dead man. Menberg was brought in to see me. He took one hurried look and then said: 'My God I have killed him! When does the next train leave here? Let me go! A train happened to be going to Topeka in ten minutes and he was hustled on to it. As soon as he left I of course, broke loose from the clutches of death and joined in the fun that was turning the town up side down.
Some of his friends followed him to Topeka on the mid-night train. They found him there almost frightened to death. They told him that the whole business was a joke. He would not believe it, and did not, until he heard by telegram from his friends here. He came back the next morning but he made himself scarce. He left Lawrence that afternoon, and I haven't seen or heard of him since. Yes, it was a big joke and I shall never for get it."
So Dan ended his happy story, so pleasantly and dramaticly told. The Courier man was delighted and laughed his sides sore. The Crew--Menberg duel has become a part of the hallowed history of Lawrence. It stands first as the most stupendous practical joke ever perdetrated upon credulous humanity.

K. K. G. party to-night.
All exchanges are filled with foot-ball news. The college world is crazy over the game, What's the matter with 'We'uns?'
The young ladies have far surpassed the boys this year in a social way. Is it to be inferred from this that the young gentlemen are the more industrious?
We have heard several fraternity girls declare that the present pledge in regard to rushing new girls will never be renewed. What a temptation to say "We told you so."
The local editor of the COURIER admires the consummate nerve of the High School Mercury. Its idea of professional reciprocity is delightfully consistent with the verdancy of its editors.
In sanitation, as well as in all other matters which require the aid of science for the formulation of their laws, the University is very properly assigned an important part, as is evinced by the prominent places which so many of our professors occupied on the program of the State Sanitary Association, which has been in session here during the week.
THE WEST SIDERS
What is the matter with the West Side boys? There is nothing insectivovous about them. With laudable energy they have organized themselves into a real live, and kicking foot ball club. This was exactly what K. S. U. needed most and their opportune action cannot be praised to warmly. There is nothing that our students need more than physical training and the Courier is pleased to see a movement that is sure to bring life, health and activity to K. S. U. K. S. U. should maintain a splendid eleven and there is no just cause why she does not. The new club contains members of strength and grit and the future looks promising. We urge the boys to keep the ball a rolling for they say a rolling stone gathers little moss. It is undoubtedly true.
The members of the new club are: Curry, Hoover, Dolly, Challis, Davis, Boher, Fosclick, Moore, Allen, Hill, Miller, Babbit Gibson, Whitman, Swank, Gardner, Whitman, J. C. Smidt, and Taylor.
But West Siders aren't you just a little narrow and selfish in your name and purpose. Why not make it a University club, freely open to all who might desire to join it? Why be one sided? Wouldn't you show a more generous spirit if you would tare down these barriers of locality? Remember the more men you have the better eleven you can select. And isirt your pride for the University greater than that for the West Side.
Current, But Not Common.
At the meeting of the Unity Club last Monday evening, the time was happily spent in a discussion of the current events. Mrs Griffin reviewed Thayer's "Kansas Crusade" in an interesting manner. Her pointed remarks brought out considerable comment. The days that are sacred to the Cause of Negro freedom were brought vividly to mind.
Prof. W. S. Franklin spoke of the recent discoveries in Physical science. Much of interest was gleaned from his careful remarks. The next meeting promises to be an interesting one. Besides the discussion of current and political events, the cause of the emigration from New England's farms will be thoroughly presented.
The public is cordially invited to attend and the Courier can assure them a pleasant evening.
Sanitary Convention.
Phi Gamma Delta will celebrate her ninth anniversary December 18th.
The State Sanitary Convention, which began its sessions last Wednesday evening, has been a gathering of great interest to the people of the State, and particularly of Lawrence. The University has been the source of much of its pleasant and profitable material. Many of aur professors have generously given to the convention the benefit of their extensive knowledge upon the questions under discussion.
The Thursday meetings were held at the University. They were largely attended by the students aud faculty.
K. S. U. has been ably represented in the discussions as follows: Prof Marvin, a paper on "Sewerage and Drainage of Lawrence;" Profs. Bonley and Blake,
The Thursday meetings were held at the University. They were largely attended by the students and Faculty. K.S.U. has been ably represented in the discussions as follows: Prof. Marvin a paper on, "Sewerage and Drainage of Lawrence," Profs. Barley and Blake, a joint paper on "The well water of Lawrence," Prof. Winkler, "Athletic life of Universities," Prof. Snow, "Polluted Water," and Prof. Canfield, "Perentory Phase of Municipal administration."
The convention continues through to-day and the public is cordially invited to attend. The effect of this meeting upon the sanitary conditions of the state is certain to be wide-spread and beneficial. Such work tends towards the elevation of the human race. We are glad to note the hearty reception given the convention by the citizens and students of Lawrence.
The Inter-Collegian, a journal devoted to college Y. M. C. A work, has been placed on file in the library by the Y. M. C. A. boys.

One of the Baldwin boys will address the meeting on the hill this evening. Let all the boys come. It is hoped they will come. The association is doing a good and noble work for K. S. U. and it should meet with hearty and loyal support from all who love sound and sturdy manhood.
Challiss spent a large portion of the past week in making extensive improvements on that "mighty mean" gun of his.
TURN OUT.
And for Once in Your Life Partake of the Literary Feasts on the Hill to-night.
After a short, but delicious vacation, wherein the society man found ample opportunity to exercise his delicate capacity, each literary company on the hill is again prepared to startle and enchant the public with its own peculiar and original "circus." And, gentle reader, you can bet a Kansas farm that each one will do so. You needn't mind putting up your farm unless you want to make some one "shut up." This is simply optional.
The official programs are for the first time made public as follows. The Courier need not remark how joyfully they will be received, and how pleasantly rendered. It would undoubtedly be guilty of exploding a "chestnut" if it did so.
The Adelphic will add another interesting meeting to its useful life. The question, Resolved, "That lobbying is a political evil," will be discussed by Hicley and Krechbeil on the affirmative, and Hall and Harvey on the negative
Surmising that the Adelphic might have something extra on its program the Courier man hunted up President Virtue and propounded the question. "Anything extra?" replied the genial and talented president, "No, Sir, we have nothing extra. Nothing but our regular program. We don't believe in extras. Each and all the members do the work and furnish the attraction. We believe in letting the members do the extras."
"So, you don't favor these side show attachments that the societies have been giving the public?" sounded the Courier. "No, sir I do not. If a literary society cannot live without giving some extra entertainment every meeting, it ought to die I believe in letting the members give the entertainment. Then will they be benefited." The Courier man heartily agreed and President Virtue will pardon him for publishing his splendid, good sense. We believe Mr. Virtue has hit the ten-penny squarely on the head and showed moss conclusively the folly and weakness of his struggling opponents.
Orophilian presents a splendid program; yes, a splendid one: but it is only a program. It looks nice, you know. What of its rendition? Waite. Mrs. Prof. McDonald has been engaged to talk to the society, on Wellesley.
Bear and Whitman and Baker and Curry will debate the question, Resolved, That the pension policy of the Harrison administration is injurious to the Republican party.

The unreliable rumor of the death of J. O. Wordon, a last year's student, is no longer such. It is a lamentable fact that brings sorrow and sympathy from many a friend who knew him but to love him.
His early death was caused by a fall from an unrailed porch on which he had stepped late at night. He sustained a severe fracture of the skull producing almost instant death.
A Sad Death.
Worden had been teaching school at Bonner Springs with the hope of returning to K. S. U. next year and up to the time of the terrible accident that sent him suddenly to death he was in perfectly good health. Worden's future was an exceptionally bright one and the Courier with his host of friends his regrets untimely and fearful end.
An old student and frat. man of K. S. U. has promised the COURIER a paper on inter-fraternity matters. We hope to publish it next week. It will merit the earnest attention of every barb, and frat.

Considerable stress was laid upon the necessity of the presence of students in the laboratories by Prof. Sayre in his lecture Wednesday. It seems to be a mystery how some of the students succeed in their work when so little time is employed, an absence of two or three days and even a week seems to make no difference to some students.

THIS IS——
OVERCOAT WEEK AT MORGAN'S.
We not only want the people of Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., to trade with us, but earnestly urge the people of
Wyandotto, Rosedale, Armourdale, Westport, Argentine, Sheffield, Lawrence,
and the whole entire surrounding country take the advantage and share the benefit of the low prices we are making up on Honest, Reliable Clothing, Hats and Furnishings lately "soocoped" from the manufacturers. If you would buy your goods cheap, and thereby save money, come to a store like ours, that has a reputation, that the whole county over for buying and selling good goods cheap. Our traffic in Men's and Boys' Suits and Overcoats these days is simply enormous. Why? Because we sell them from $3 to $10 apiece less than any house in this city, and have by far the biggest stock to pick from. Right now we are making a terrific push on
Overcoats

There is one thing above all others that makes us feel gratified, and that's the large number of new faces we see in our store from day to day trading. It's noised about that our Suits and Overcoats are the best and a good deal the cheapest, and don't you think the people don't like to save money, for they do. That's why our Boys' and Children's Room is a regular bee-hive of trade. Take inside elevator.

VOL. VIII.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC. 14, 1889.
HALT!
Aad Thilk What K. S. U. could do for her Country by Making Each Student a Soldier--A Citizen Soldier of a Soldierless Republic.
How would a K. S. U. student look dressed in a dashing soldier's suit of "baggy pantaloons and tightly fitted coat of blue?" How would they "stack up" when on dress parade or passing in review before our soldierly Faculty? How would Clarck look with shoulder straps and Hadley with a drum? And how would you like to be a soldier and wear a sword and give commands and prince around like a Black Prince? Don't you think you could be just too utterly gallant and big headed for anything? And don't you think that you could rival and vanquish any "crusher" or "heart-breaker" that ever lived—in Topeka? Don't you think that your gallantry—and sword—would win the smile of the fairest belle that ever walked—and talked—in the halls of K. S. U?
Among all the many means that are adding so splendidly to our present happiness and civilization there is none that commands or deserves more attention than the science of the soldier. He holds to-day the destiny of the world. But in our country it is not upon the professional soldier that the government leans; it is upon the citizen soldier. It is he who saves and vindicates our nation's laws and institutions. Our splendid history has proven that.
The United States recognizes the exalted position of her citizen soldier, and her wisest statesmen and truest friends support unanimously the military education and training of her young men. All over the land can be found the drill master and the cadet. Our nation supports two of the finest military schools in the world—West Point and Anapolis. Many of the States can boast of similar institutions. This new spirit for the advancement of military knowledge has made such an impression upon our people that it is being rapidly adopted by many of the State institutions of learning. There is New York, Ohio, Missouri, California. Minnesota, Vermont, Georgia, Mississippi and the Carolinas who, knowing the value and need of a military education, have made it a part of the State's instruction of her sons. There are other States that have adopted the military system, but
we cannot now recall them. The endless number of private military schools and academies is known and their wealth and prosperity is a mighty proof of their popularity.
But let us talk about home. Why can't K. S. U. be added to the honorable list of military institutions? She can by simply asking for it. The big, generous heart of old Uncle Sam has made ample provisions for all those who want to "jine" the army and be a soldier. If K. S. U., wants the military system the only thing she must do is to make the want known to the War Department and forthwith there will come to K. S. U., a dashing West Pointer, arms, orders and every thing necessary to go "soldiering" and it wouldn't cost a cent.
We understand that there was some years ago a military company connected with the University, but because it was solely managed by the students it died. Nothing else could have been expected. The average student is a very uncertain element. Such an enterprise to succeed must be controlled by more durable powers than the student can furnish.
With Uncle Sam at the head of the legions failure would be impossible. There would be no deserters, no sore heads, no frat rows then.
The adoption of a military department to the University need not effect her present regulations in the least. At the State University of Ohio the only thing required of the student is that he shall drill one hour each day. There is no other military discipline. And this is not required of the Senior students. The only thing Ohio has in view is to give her sons a sound training in practical military knowledge and she does so most effectively. She says that in giving her students a free education they should in return to the State be willing to take the training that in the future they might use in protecting her. And that is unanswerable argument and it is just applicable to the sons of Kansas as it is to those of Ohio.
During the week COURIER talked with several of the professors about this question and they without an exception expressed their approval if controlled by the proper authorities. Profs. Miller, Robinson, Dunlap, Winkler and Carruth all thought it would be a splendid means for physical development, besides the benefit driven from such an education.
THE FRATS.
With the approval of the Legislature and the Faculty K. S. U. may add a valuable department to her instruction.
By its adoption not only would the student and State be benefited, but the nation would add to her need more broadly educated and patriotic citizen soldiers.
The Society Feats of the Gallant Greeks of K. S. U.
*The COURIER presents this matter that it may be discussed, and it hopes that it will.
Again have the Kappa Gamma added to their flattering reputation as delightful entertainers. Their party last Saturday evening was a complete auditive success. Frazier Hall was never filled with a prettier or pleasanter company of merry-makers
The supper served was superb and the evening passed without a mar.
Last Monday evening the Betas proved themselves gallant entertainers. Their party to their friends was a delightful one and marks a happy spot in the history of the chapter.
The Sigma Nus will entertain their lady friends to-morrow evening. A special literary and musical program has been prepared and a royal good time is anticipated.
Those present were; Misses Nelson Hadley, Morris, McBride, Hayes, of Paola, Johnston, Hair, McKinnon, Lockwood, Springer, Franklin Bowersock, Fullerton, Hewins, Price, Edwards, Kimball, Williams, Taggert, Maxwell, Tisdale, Monroe, Beard, Webber, Scott, Roberts, Webster, Florer, McCague, Overton, Crotty, Hutchings, Simpson, Howland, Mr. and Mrs J. D, Bowersock, Mr. and Mrs F. H. Bowersock, Prof. and Mrs, D. H. Robinson, Prof. L. I. Blake, Prof. A. G. Canfield, Messrs. Lewis, Henshaw, Bennett, Butterworth, McCague, Flannelly, Grover, Burney, Brooks, Fullerton, Blaker, Pickering, Bear, Brown, Armstrong, Hutchings, Melvin, Kellogg, Potter, Robinson, Allen, Hadley, Snow, Taylor, Voorhis, Edson, Overton, Hudson, McKinnon, Morris, Bowersock, Hair and Swank
The Kappa Alpha Thetas give a party this evening at the pleasant home of Miss Sidney Daily. We needn't stop to predict a delightful time that is assured.
The new girls fraternity, if there be such a thing, is still a hidden possibility. At least it makes a splendid subject for the feminine gossiper and the masculine politician.
Next week Thursday the Phi Gams will give their annual party in honor of their natal day. Already the signs point to an exceptionally pleasant time.
The fair rushers have begun and bets among the gallant knights are as numerous as the
rushed. Now is the time that the ladies show their magnetic powers and the gentlemen their regal loyalty. There is nothing like it.
Herb's Latest Hit: A Pun.
J, Mushrush, J. Fox, J. Craig and Jay Sears. Great men these Jay men— "Happy pleasantries and sparkling effusions of wit em-e-nating from the pen of Herb Hadley" in Kansan.
We want to thank Herb for a hearty laugh. This is no joke. Herb makes a capital comedian, and it is a matter of mystery to us that he doesn't travel. Everything about him is so "chic" and catchy, so bright and brilliant that his future as a prime favorite ooreth the foot lights is positively certain.
But perhaps Herb doesn't see any presidencies or parties or balls or pants or dress suits or Bessies in such a role; and if he does not, why, heaven knowns we are not the one to urge him to such asacrifice.
Death of Walter Britton. Walter H. Britton, who died on the 3rd. inst. at San Antonio Texas, was a young man of whom K. S. U. has always been proud As a graduate he has ever ored a kind Alma Mater. We clip the following from the Topeka Capital:
"The deceased was a son of Dr. J. B, Britton, deceased, who was an honored and highly esteemed resident of Mapleton, this county. Walter attended the normal college in this city and afterward graduated at the State University, at Lawrence, before he reached his nineteenth year. He went into the employ of the Santa Fe general tickit office and afterwards became connected with the Topeka Commonwealth in the capacity of assistant managing editor. When the Capital consolidated he went to Florida for his health, and last spring returned and accepted a position on the St. Louis Republic and afterwards with the Globe-Democrat. Four weeks ago he was confined in Santa Rosa infirmary where he went by advice of his physician, and where he died.
Unity Club
Unity's meeting last Monday evening was as usual thoroughly pleasant and instructive.
Mr. V. L. Kellogg talked of Stanley's recent explorations in Africa. Mr.K. was happily clear and pointed.
Prof. Carruth led the discussion on the emigration from New England's farms, followed by Mr. Colman and Mrs. Grubb. This was extremely interesting to many, as it is closely connected with the early history of Kansas.

A CLUB WAIL.
We were gathered at the table
Not a soul would dare to speak
There was hash upon the table
We had had it for a week.
As we shuddered there in silence
Each one busy with his steak
We are lost tha' handlord shouted
There is arsenic in the cake.
But his little daughter whispered
As she heard those words so rash
Never mind my darling papa
Arsenic isn't so bad a hash.
Then we kissed the maiden
For her words so pat and keen
And when next we sought the table
Hash was nowhere to be seen
Nice fresh bread at Mrs. F. T. Hutson's bakery

The 85 per cent. rule has been adopted in the Ohio Wessleyan University.
The rushing bee has been the special feature of the past week. You now see the results, and congratulations are in order.
The Beacon comes out this week with a three page issue. The reading matter is about the average, but the advertisements are enough to make any business manager's mouth water.
The editorial in the Kansas explaining the origin of the attempt at humor on the local columns of the last issue of that paper, while rather severe upon the local man, was probably necessary for the protection of the editor-in-chief, whom we cannot blame for being loath to assume the responsibility for such productions without an explanation.
OUR CHRISTMAS NUMBER.
The Christmas number of the COURIER will be something you will want to see—something you will want to take home and show to your friends and "folks."
We will begin in that issue the first of a series of short sketches of each of the professors of K. S. U. With each sketch will be given a creditable "cut" or picture of the professor. We are certain that these articles will be heartily welcomed by the students. They indeed, will be worth seeing and preserving.
Besides other matter of much interest, this number will contain the following: "Reminiscences of K. S. U." by Prof. Miller, "Our Alumni," by Prof Sterling, "Inter-Fraternity Relations," by Prof. W. H. Sears, "Jokes on the Profs.'" "The Girls of K. S. U.'" "The Boys of K. S. U.'" and "Interviews on the Military Question."
So you will want a COURIER next week and an extra edition will supply your wants.
The pledge is up; the rush begun, or rather just ending, for who can say that any sorosis stood by the articles of agreement? It was sincerely hoped that the young ladies would, by their exemplary conduct in this matter, bring about a reformation in rushing tactics. But alas! it could not be. Everything is made subservient to the advancement of fraternity interests, and now it is common talk that the bothersome pledge will never be renewed.
The maliciousness which is characteristic of a certain frat. in K. S. U., was exhibited in the usual manner during the past week, when the attempt was made to injure a rival by the systematic circulation of reports to the effect that the chapter here was about to go under on account of internal dissensions. Such reports, prompted as they were by wanton malice and selfishness, had formulation only in the fertile imagination of the originators of the lie.
CHAT AWFUL BASE MENT;
Elsewhere in these columns will be found the Prize Essay Proposal which, it is to be hoped, will inspire some of our Seniors to make an effort, at least, towards the attainment of the much coveted plum. Homer Dibell, of the University of Indiana, was the lucky man last year. His subject, "What are raw materials? Would free raw materials be advantageous to the labor and industries of the United States?"
or
How I Got Left.
She came from her class.
My heart let her pass;
But my eyes followed long through the crowd.
My heart wished to say,
I was going her way;
But my tongue wouldn't speak, and I cowed.
Down the back stairs she went,
On her wraps all intent,
Never thinking how fondly I waited.
I thought of the pleasure.
Of joy without measure.
But how I had anticipated!
So long did I wait
For soup I'd be late.
If she didn't quite soon fix her bonnet.
I had winked at the lass
As she came from the class.
But would she remember? Dog-on-it!
The halls became bare,
And still I was there;
But no dainty form passed the case-
ment.
I looked at the clock-
Then my soul took a shock!
She had gone by the way of the base
ment.
A Splendid Specimen.
Judge West, of the Natural History Department, is now working upon a fossil skeleton that is a phenomenon. It is a Saurian and the Judge thinks it is the finest fossil ever found.
It is one of the many natural specimens that were captured during the explorations of last summer, in Southern Kansas. It was found in a chalk bed and it is wonderfully complete and perfect in its parts and structure. It measures over eighteen feet in length. The Judge is justly proud of this splendid specimen and just now it is the sole object of his tenderest care and attention.
When prepared it will make one of the most interesting specimens of the wonderous ages gone by. K. S. U. will be proud to add it to hər costly collection.
Three Cheers for the Faculty.
The Faculty held a special meeting Wednesday that was a meeting. The students of K. S. U. will never forget it. For the first time in its history, the Faculty jumped a cog. Headed by Profs. Carruth, Canfield and Winkler, it decided to call a special meeting of the students for the purpose of discussing the formation of an athletic association. Was there anything more clever? The Courier i certain that the Faculty could not have done anything else that would have pleased the student more. It was just what they needed and it is just what they have been waiting for. So the Faculty is to be thanked and praised and congratulated—whatever will please it. It has taken a correct and comprehensive view o this matter and we see in this laudable action the beginning of a splendid addition to the needs of K. S. U.
By the time this paper reaches you this meeting will have met, resolved and adjourned, and if you are an earnest, loyal student you will know what has been done.
To - Night.
The Adelphic is the only literary society that meets to-night
This Society certainly means business. A splendid program will be given among other things. The President's late message will be discussed, lead by Mr. Linville.
The Pharmaceutical society meets to-night in Snow Hall. A good program has been prepared. These are the only societies that enliven the hill to-night.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
State Secretary Fisher will lead the city Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday afternoon.Every young man come.
Several of the Y. M. C. A. boys will, in the near future, go to Lecompton and lead the meeting for the college association there. This plan of exchanging ideas among the college associations is a good one and will be productive of much good.
E. W. Palmer will lead the meeting this evening. Subject, "What Christ Has Done for Us," 1 Cor. I5-57. Let all the boys come prepared to make this one of the most interesting meetings of the year.
A very interesting meeting was held last Friday evening, President Ackley leading. After a short devotional service a business meeting was held, C. P. Chapman proposed twenty-five names for membership. All were unanimously received. A social to be held in a short time was discussed and all seemed mad in favor of it. After some miscellaneous business the meeting adjourned.

Scene, Hades. — Satan seated on his throne surrounded by his imps.
Satan — Has Lord Farrow, the condemned lawyer, yet arrived; he with the black eyes?
Chief Imp—He has, your majesty.
Lord Farrow appears in charge of eight imps.
Satan—Lead him forth before my throne.
Satan—My noble Lord Farrow, why comest thou here?
Satan—Hast thou ever assisted mine imps in any way when thou wast an inhabitant there?
Lord Farrow—Because I was a lawyer on earth.
Lord Farrow-I have.
Satan—What hast thou done?
Satan—Turning to his legions—Ye imps, fiends and fallen spirits, hear! Shall we punish this most noble man who has worked so faithfully in our cause while on the earth?
Lork Farrow—I reviled St. John and all who were not of my political belief
Satan—Speak, slave, hast thou done nothing more?
L. F., trembling—Yes, my most noble sire. I tore down all bills announcing the lectures of such idiots. (Rejoicing among the fiends.) Muttering thunder heard.
The fiends with one voice answer NO!
Pandemonium, breaks loose.
Lord Farrow seen in the distance ascending to earth, escorted by a guard of honor. General rejoicing. Satan and his imps holding a Pan Hellenic.
Satan—Lord Farrow, thou art free. Go thou and work faithfully in my vineyard as thou hast done in the past.

Ex.Governor John P. St. John will lecture at Bowersock's opera house this evening. Subject, "The Tariff." Let no one fail to hear this noted speaker. The Kent club, under whose auspices the lecture is delivered, is to be congratulated on its enterprise. When the club arranged for Mr. St. John it was supposed that he would lecture in the University, and the literary societies which had engaged the chapel for that night kindly postponed their program. But for some reason the Regents refused to allow the club the use of the chapel. The members of the club were determined not to allow so small a matter to stop the lecture and secured the opera house. For real wide-awake rustling the laws, and especially those constituting the Kent club, stand at the head.
The Juniors finished "Bishop on contracts last Tuesday and are now wading through 'Schuler on Domestic Relations."

The question of a lecture by Mr. St. John was brought up in the Kent Club and the club was unanimous in favor of it. It would have been a great deal more manly for the member to have openly opposed it then, than the method he used.

F. H. SNOW.
An Interesting Sketch of an Able and Popular Professor of K. S. U.
TONKIN.
FRANCIS HUNTINGTOM SNOW, M. A., Ph. D., was born at Fitchburg, Mass., June 29, 1840, the son of Benjamin and Mary (Boutelle) Snow. He prepared for Williams College in the high school of his native town, and entered the Freshman class in 1858. He took a Classical course and was graduated 1862, the valedictorian and first honor man of his class.
While at Williams Prof. Snow joined the Delta Upsilon and Phi Beta Kappa Fraternities; the last named admits only honor men.
For two years after leaving college he was principal of the Fitchburg high school, when in 1864, he entered Andover Seminary for the purpose of more thoroughly fitting himself as a professional instructor. In 1866 he was graduated from this institution. This year was a momentous one in the history of Kansas. Then was born the fairest infant of the plains. The University of Kansas began among the vicissitudes of the West, her struggle for life. Francis H. Snow, helped by Prof Robinson, was the first who rocked her cradle and nursed the fondling; and from then till now he has watched and waited by her side.
Prof. Snow has devoted himself principally to entomology, ornithology, bctany and climatology. His work in these branches has been characterically thorough and complete. He has discovered over 200
He began his work in the chair of Natural Sciences, and how he has labored patiently and wrought unceasingly, let the present splendid position of his department testify.
specimens in insects, and more than a dozen are named in his honor. His large cabinet of natural collections is one of the finest in the country. It contains over 75,000 specimens. and 10,000 species of insects alone.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC. 20, 1880.
His contributions to scientific research has been of great value. Besides his numerous articles to the magazines, he has published a catalogue of the insects of Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico and the birds of Kansas. These works have been of incalculable value to the student of nature.
Time and time again Prof. Snow has been offered important and lucrative chairs in Eastern colleges, but he has steadily refused, replying that his first love is mightier than money, and that the West is worthy the toil and skill of any scholar. This manly loyalty to Kansas and the West has won for him a host of friends and admirers.
The Professor has been one of the most earnest and enthusiastic laborers in his chosen field, and he has not toiled without reward. For five years he was president of the Kansas Academy of Science; he is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; a member of the Davenport Academy of Science and the Boston Zoological Society; and one of the editors of Psyche, the organ of the Cambridge Entomological Club. Besides holding these honorary positions, he is Professor of Natural History, Director of the Museum and President of the Faculty of Kansas State University.
There isn't a student or Kansan but who applauds the splendid labors of Prof. Snow, and there is none but who love and honor him, and all pray that to his life may be added many years of joy and prosperity.
He has lived to see the University struggle through the storm and out into the happy sunshine. To-day he lives in the radiance of his hopes; he no longer builds in his dreams the air castles of the future. The University of Kansas in all its present greatness is a realization of his toil and a reward of his worth.
Just what Prof. Snow has suffered and won and wrought for the cause of humanity and the State of Kansas, can never be fully told except by him. Through the sternest adversity and most wearisome toil he has remained true to the highest aims of mankind.
While Kansas and her soldiers and statesmen have been adding splendidly to the history of the world, Prof. Snow has been quietly battling for the good of man and the "glory of the state."
OROPHILIAN
Wins a Hard Fought Battle, but Victory Percheth High on Her Banners.
THE University Hall was well filled last night to listen to the contest between Athenæum and Orophilian literary societies. And it was no small affair either. Indeed, much of the old-time enthusiasm reigned through it all. Especially in seeing Mr. Ackley, who had been on similar programs in his collegiate days, and the ever-popular Dan Crew, whose winning voice had made the hall ring many times before. He was heartily recalled. In the absence of the mandoline and guitar, Miss Lichenwalker opened the program by a voluntary selection on the piano.
Miss Webb and Mr. Harold Barnes were the first on the program, as contestants in declamation. Miss Webb recited in a pleasing manner the thrilling story of "How he Saved St. Michaels'." Though quietly and with but few jestures, it was well recited, and deserved the hearty applause given.
Mr. Barnes, of Athenaeum, in a good oratorical style, told about "The Men to Make a State." Though not possessing a strong voice his delivery was good.
By far the most charming of the bits of musical dessert interspersed through the program, was the delightful duet by Miss Ida Williams and Mr. Walter Howe. Their voices are so well known to Lawrence audiences as to need no comment. Mrs. Howe very creditably presided at the piano.
Mr. J. A. Mushrush and Mr H.F. Roberts next came on as contending orators. Mr. Mushrush, representing Athenaeum, well known to University people as a public speaker, presented in a quiet, forcible manner, "Our Nation's Evils." The matter was well handled and well delivered, though not so much preparation was shown as on former occasions. Mr. Roberts also sustained his part well as orator from Orophilian. His subject was "Charles Sumner and the Kansas Struggle," and he gave in a very graphic style the feelings and attitude of the sections of the country preceding the Civil War, and Summer's noble efforts in behalf of Kansas, and therein the cause of the slaves. He is an inexperienced speaker, but has material for better things to come.
Miss Lichtenwalter then gave a bright piano selection, which was well received.
Next on the list came the debate. Question: Resolved, That the prohibitory amendment should be resubmitted to the people of Kansas. Affirmative; H. S. Handley and R. D. Brown of Atheaenum Negative; W. W. Brown and E. L. Ackley of Orphilian. Mr. Hadley opened the debate which was well sustained throughout, though Mr. Ackley rather eclipped the others by a rousing good speech at the close. The prohibition question as well as the resubmition question was well discussed, and all made hazzardous attempts to "ride two horses at once."
While waiting for the decision of the judges Messrs. Crew and Collins favored the audience with some rare selections of the guitar and mandolin, which was enthusiastically received, and the gentlemen were called back, but the audience would not be quiet until Mr. Crew had sung.
The decision was at last rendered in favor of Orphilian. The judges were, B. W Woodard, H. L. Moore and C. F. Meserve.
Mr. Clarence Sears was president of the evening.
Everybody was pleased and seemed glad they climbed the hill, and the general decision was that there was two literary societies at least in the University that were not quite dead

The Spiritual society have engaged the services of Mrs. Ada Foye of San Francisco to give a lecture and public test in the G. A. R. Hall on Monday evening next. Those interested in the spiritual phenomenon as a religion or as a philosophy should not fail to attend the lecture and public tests, as Mrs. Foye is recognized as the best medium in the country. She has been in Topeka the past two months and her rooms have been constantly crowded with investigators of this most wonderful phenomenon.

We regret to announce to our readers that our old stereotyped Christmas editorial has been misplaced, and in lieu of a lengthy explanation of the purpose of the observation of the day, we will ask them to accept our sincere wishes that they may heartily enjoy the vacation, and see their capacious pedal coverings stretched out of all resemblance to the original shape by the strain to which they are snbjected.
THE Record hits the students very hard when it says that their conduct Tuesday night was as far from being gentlemanly as the show from being decent.
Os what authority the city papers stated that the new girl's fraternity would appear this week we do not know. But they certainly went wrong. K.S.U. still waits for the colors of the new frat.
THE editor of the Hesperian still continues to rail against the frats. of the University of Nebraska in long-winded editorials, which seem to afford him a great deal of satisfaction. The articles are characterized by spite and malice rather than by any arguments worth considering.
THE Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly is out and presents a very neat and tasty appearance. Its typographical excellencies are, however the least attractive features, for the journal is replete, not only with fraternity lore of the Deltas, but with items of interest to any Greek. The Quarterly is published under the efficient management of the chapter at Alleghney College, and is a credit to the fraternity in all respects.
IF there is one excellency which becomes a college paper more than another it is originality. We thought to gain credit for this by the publication of an eight page, illustrated Christmas number. At a late hour we were astounded to to find that the Kansan, having implicit confidence in our judgment and good taste, had honored us so far as to adopt our plan bodily, and our only recourse was to red paper and black ink. We thought this explanation due, lest the public should think ns members of a Clan a Gael, flaunting the colors of old Ireland in triumph at the conviction of the Cronin murders.
THERE should be general rejoicing among all lovers of manly sports, from the fact that a number of the Faculty have at last manifested a lively interest in the athletic association and pledged themselves to do all in their power to promote the objects of the organization, by making efforts to secure us adequate facilities in this line. The college editor, hard up for copy, is not the only one who has recognized the disadvantage under which we have labored from lack of such facilities, and the large class of earnest students interested in the matter is much encouraged by the enthusiasm shown at the meeting Friday. Let everyone connected with the institution follow the excellent example of our professors, and by a united effort we shall at last obtain the object of our desires—the gym——.
The winner in the local contest at Washburn is Mr. Naylor. We don't know what kind of an orator he is and don't care much, for in our opinion K. S. U. is bound to win; but we admire him as a man for his high sense of honor, equity and justice. His conduct at Emporia last year, when the old oratorical association of K. S. U. was offered up as sacrifice to appease the desire for notoriety which so possessed some of our wirepullers, was in striking contrast with that of those delegates who entered into the combination merely for the futherance of their own selfish aims. He has richly merited the honors he has gained and we will bank on him for second place.
We learn from an exchange that some well-meaning but misguided farmer has donated $50,000 for the founding of a college at Hopeville, Ills.
This brings to mind the fact that there are being established yearly throughout our own state numerous third and fourth rate colleges and denominational schools. None of them have sufficient endowment to be strictly self supporting, and by far the larger number depend almost entirely upon the misplaced charity of their sympathizers.
These humble institutions, compelled to struggle constantly for existence, seldom attain a higher standard than that of our best high schools.
It is true that one can find no investment for his money so productive of benefit to society in general, as the judicious endowment of educational enterprises. Bnt the generous men whose liberality has prolonged from year to year the life of these miniature colleges should by this time recognize that their charity is misdirected; that their efforts can be productive of the highest good, only when all their energies are concentrated upon one deserving object.
If there were a unity of purpose, a concentration of the scattered forces, each so weak in itself, but capable of figuring as a factor in the upbuilding of an insiitution whose power would be irresistable, what an opnortunity there would be for making our Alma Mater, now the pride of Kansas, an object of admiration andenvy to all

J. H. Shimmon's store, at the corner of Massachusetts and Warren Streets, appears to be one of the chief centers of attraction for those wishing to purchase Christmas goods. When one looks at his advertisements of prices in the daily papers, and looks also in his store replete with beauteous ornaments, one does not wonder that his sto.e is so crowded with cusustomers. We have seen advertisements of goods for the holiday trade, but we have never seen such low prices and on such flast-class goods as at the store of J. H. Shimmons. The Christmas toys are the things that will catch your eye. No where else in the city is there such an assortment as at J. H. Shimmons.

OUR ALUMNI.
What, Where, and Who they are-
Names that Honor K. S, U.
BY PROF, M. W. STERLING.
The graduates of the Kansas State University, counting all the departments, now number about four hundred and fifty. They live in almost all states of the union, but a very large majority of them are found in Kansas There is no important city or town in this state which is not the home of some of our graduates They occupy leading positions in all important professions and lines of business.
That few of them fill high official positions is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that they are all young; yet, if the signs are not deceptive, ten or fifteen years will make a great change in the situation in this respect With three men in the Kansas and Missouri legislatures, one in the chair of a Kansas judicial district, one an assistant United States District Attorney, more than one hundred members of the bar in cities of Kansas, a half dozen editors and proprietors of influential Kansas papers, to say nothing of the scores of present and former University men doing editorial work in a smaller way, the University has good ground for a confidence belief that, in a dozen years, the Alumni will have a large share of the highest public and official honors in this state. But this is by no means all. The influence for good of a few hundred large-scaled, cultured men and women in all honorable walks and avocations of life is incalculable; and there is no doubt that the children of K. S. U are exerting a powerful influence for the moral and intellectual tone of Kansas.
A few years ago it was possible for anyone in the University to keep himself posted in regard to the whereabouts and occupations of all K. S. U. graduates, but the large classes in several departments in recent years have added so considerably to the list that the necessity of adopting some means of collecting and preserving information about graduates is very urgent.
The University has made a beginning of a card catalogue in which are kept the names and addresses, so far as the latter can be obtained, of graduates in all departments. This is a move in the right direction, but it is doubtful whether it is sufficient, and whether the graduates will feel sufficient interest to keep the office
informed when they change location.
An attempt is now being made by a committee of the Alumni
Association of the department of Science, Literature and the Arts, to collect information for an Alumni catalogue of this, by far the most important department of the University. The plan is to issue a trial catalogue, which will contain the names, addresses and occupations of all graduates in this department, so far as this information can be obtained here. This trial catalogue will be mailed to all graduates whose addresses are known. They will be requested to correct any errors and give any additional information about themselves or any other graduates they may know or can learn about The marked and corrected catalogues will then be returned to the committee. From the information thus secured it is hoped a perfect catalogue may be compiled About once in three years a new issue will be made containing additions and new matter up to date The cause is a worthy one and it is hoped all Alumni and friends of the University will co operate with the committee to make the plan successful.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Messrs. Helmick and Kingman of Kansas, and Codding of Nebraska, are the pioneer missionaries to Soudan. In the course of the next three or four years it is estimated there will be several hundred more.
Iowa was represented at the recent State convention by 138 college students.
The Y. M. C. A. boys of the University of Iowa have started a building fund. Ten thousand dollars were subscribed by students of members of the Faculty. They hope to raise the balance, fifteenthousand dollars, before Commencement. As they are very enthusiastic we do not doubt but that they will succeed. We wish them all prosperity.
Ft. Scott Normal School has pledged $364 to support an Alumnus in the foreign field
Why cannot the Y. M. C. A. boys support at least one student at Northfield, Mass., next summer? Several of the boys would go if they only had a little more money. It would be only a trifle from each member and would put one more laborer for the field.

National Educational Associa-
The National Educational Association and Council of Education have decided to hold their next Annual Convention at St. Paul, Minnesota, July 4 to 11, 1890. Hon. James H. Canfield, of Lawrence, Kansas, is president of the Association. It is expected that there will be twenty thousand teachers present from all points of the Union. The Western railroads have already agreed to give hall rates, plus $2.00 membership fee, to all persons who attend, and Eastern and Southern roads will make low rates which will be announced at an early date. St. Paul has organized a local executive committee and the most complete arrangements are being made to give the teachers a splendid welcome to the Northwest, and to make the meeting a great success. There will be ample hotel accommodation at reasonable rates. Local excursions are being planned to all important points of interest in the Northwest and on the Pacific Coast which will furnish teachers with the finest summer holiday trips that they ever enjoyed. The official "Bulletin," containing programs, rates and full particulars, to be issued in March, will be sent free. Address,

Is almost here, and one firm has anticipated your wants for the holiday season. At the University book store, Field & Hargis, proprietors, you will find, well, what is it you won't find for the merry Christmas season? You are going home and expect to be remembered by father or mother, why not take something home with you that will surprise the home folks? Nothing is more acceptable than a book, and we are showing books on all subjects in all styles of binding, in single volumes and in sets; gift books, illustrated books, poems and hymns handsomely illustrated. Booklets from 5 cents up. In dressing cases, toilet sets, handkerchief and glove cases, jewel boxes, work boxes, writing desks and elegant leather tablets, novelties from Japan, screens in Chinese silk, but the business manager wont wait for more copy. He says we all know you have the finest and largest line of holiday goods ever shown in Lawrence; but one word as to prices: They are not retail prices, but factory prices, as the jobber makes nothing on the goods we sell, as we deal direct with the manufacturer. Delays are dangerous; make your selections while the stock is complete, and you will be happy.

Listener
A Few Things that He Accidentally Heard and Jotted Down.
Now, I flatter myself that I possess that rare quality, the art of listening, to an extent that is seldom possessed by but few mortals on this mundane sphere. The art of conversation it is true is on a decline in this grand old monumental structure that points to higher realms of knowledge, but the true art of listening, that does not find an impediment by a door or wall being between, is much cultivated in the higher classes of the students who are actuated by their desire for knowledge to sacrifice many little things which are really of no importance.
Of course I, myself, as I said before, am an attentive listener, and so I go prowling about "cum auribus erectis." We heard something. In fact we wanted to know what the Profs, might say about
which they had been hold ing over a certain noble 31, and about which no doubt they were cogitating. We heard Prof. Snow as he carelessly swung his overcoat over his shoulder remark to Prof. Green: "Well Jim did you ever hear of such an iniation as this one before. The boys of K. S. U. only let loose once in a while, you know, but when they do it is daring undertakings that they attempt: no not attempt merely, for they have too much of the western nerve to fail. Professor don't you remember the time the boys decorated the chapel with the animals from the museum? You know they put an owl in Chancellor Marvin's chair, not because he was solemn or because the boys disliked him for he was very popular with the students, but because they must put something in his chair.
Then in Prof. Miller's chair they placed a skeleton and Prof. Robinson was favored by being likened to one of the old plaster casts of the ancient Roman deities. The boys all liked him then as they do now. Prof. Canfield received his share of their regard by having his chair occupied by a great pile of books labelled "REFERENCES" in large letters.
What did they liken me to in this little assembly? Well, you know as well asl, that the Anthropoid that you may see over in Snow Hall, seated upon a limb of a tree reading the Bible was the usurper of my chair. Of course we all pretended to be angry and made a great pretense of trying to search out and punish the wicked students who had dared to do this. But really we had many a
joke about this prank."
Here Prof. Snow concluded and they parted. We were a little anxious to accompany him, but as Prof. Green turned toward Massachusetts St. we concluded that we had better follow him. So we turned our steps after Prof. Green. Presently we came upon him just as he met one of his unions,
AN ISHMAELITE,
hagar, by name, whom we heard accost the Prof. with "How do you do Professor. It is a fine day is it not, for so cloudy a time on the hill? Prof. G.—rammed his hands violently down in his pockets, spat out a small cheek of tobacco and looking at Hagar with a fixed and reproachful stare "Hagar, d——m you., Don't call me Prof. Call me Jim. Give me a chew of tobacco Hagar." Hagar was out and we left the Prof. and Hagar talking over the latest case in court.
We wended our way to our familiar place of refreshment where hash is the main article of diet. Of course what we had heard was too good to keep, so we told it to one of the students who sat opposite us at the table of the Famous Delmonico. My little tale brought to his mind in some unaccountable way
AN EPISODE
that occured a year or so ago. He leaned back in his chair, put his thumbs in the arm-holes of his vest and related, in an amusing droll way the following:—
"You know as well as I do that Prof. Blake is extremely partial to beautiful young ladies and is very gallant. He himself is far from being homely with his clear cut face and dashing black mustache, at least he always receives his due share of admiration from bright feminine eyes. Now, the time that I refer to was one fall. The Bismarck fair was going on. Prof. Blake you know had not been here very long. -He was not generally known as a Prof. One day as he entered the street car on his way to Lawrence, his aesthetical eye was cognizant of the fact that there were two divinely fair and beautiful damsels who were seated opposite to him. They knew beauty in a masculine form, for they gazed at him with undisguised admiration.
Prof. stood it as long as possible then found occasion to lower the window of the car which they were vainly endeavoring to move, and remark "You found the Bismarck fair delightful I suppose?" To which the damsel whom Prof. was likening to Venus and was thinking what a depth of soul those beautiful bright blue eyes betokened, answered, "Yez sur, an ye betcher sweet life, I jist had a splendiferous an scrumptions time. But I did so wish 'et pap wuz along, fur pap hain't never seen no buffalo sence he done gone over the plains in 1849.——Say dontcher know my pap he'z Here Prof. fainted and his dream of love came to naught. They carried him from the car and it was thought for a time that he would never walk the halls of K. S. U. again. But by the careful manipulation of a couple of
dynamics and the copious use of Agna fortis he was resuscitated."
This story we thoroughly enjoyed. We had almost made up our mind to leave the savory viands, when we heard some one at the table behind us mention
THE NEW SOROSIS
in a frightened stage whisper. Well in our duty we were not lacking. We were listening and this is what we heard a Phi Gamma Theta Beta Chi Nu say to a Kappa Gamma Phi; "Say, Miss K. G. P., is there anything certain about that new girl's frat?" "Well we girls have just about decided that it is a blind" responded Miss K. And, oh! my! but we are awful glad of it, for if there is a new Sorosis started it will make us work harder than we have ever done before especially if those girls whom we think are are at the head of it really and truly are in it.
Truly speaking, we girls don't want a new sorosis among us. It did scare us so that we forgot all about our pledge and rushed new girls long before the "combination rush trust," as you boys call it, expired."
Just then these words of Southey occurred to the Listener: "There are three things a wise man will not trust:" the wind, the sunshine of an April day and a woman's plighted faith. He thought how true: and he sighed. With this thought Miss K. for some unaccountable reason stopped talking. But she might as well continued for this Listener is as silent as the grave.
Wilcox-Marvin.
Yesterday at 12:30 Prof. A. M. Wilcox and Miss Mina E. Marvin were united in marriage at the home of the bride on South Vermont street. Bishop W. X. Ninde, of the Methodist church, performed the impressive and interesting ceremony. Immediately after an elegant dinner the happy couple left for the east where they will spend the holidays in pleasant travel. Among other points they will visit Washington and Baltimore,
Dr. A.M.Wilcox, as Professor of Greek, is popularly known to every student of the University. He took his chair in 1885 and his exceptional ability has won him place and importance. He is a graduate of Yale and Johns Hopkins. He has added to this education by extensive travel abroad.
The bride is known to well in Lawrence to need an introduction. She was graduated from the University in 81 and since then has continued her studies at home and abroad. She is one of the most popular women in the church and society circles of Lawrence.
The COURIER unites with their host of friends in wishing them a long life of joy and prosperity.

The Sigma Nn party was a delightful affair. Happier hours were never spent by a gay throng of metry-makers.
Prof. Snow entertained the Old and New Club last Saturday evening. The evening was pleasanty and profitably spent.
Phi Gamma Delta celebrated the ninth anniversary of the establishment of Pi Deuteron chapter at K. of P. hall last evening, with one of the most successful fraternity receptions ever given Lawrence.

A RETROSPECT.
Full of Interesting Facts and Happy Recollections of K. S. U.
BY PROF. E. MILLER.
Twenty - three years ago the University of Kansas was ushered into existence. Very few trumpet blasts heralded the advent of the infant. Whether it had a Godfather at its christening, the "Annals of Kansas" has nothing to say. But the infant grew in stature, spread in shoulder breadth and increased in avoirdupois.
It is well to go back to the beginning of those twenty-three years, and follow step by step the progress made, and see by an inventory of deeds done, of accumulations along educational lines, and of young men and young women trained at the University to adorn, in the truest and best sense of the word, the great central state under whose broad shield the University lives, moves and has its being, whether it is realizing the expectation of its founders.
Four chancellors have already had a share in shaping the institution. The first of these was Rev R. W. Oliver, an Episcopal clergyman, who served one year. After him came John Frazer, LL.D., a layman, a graduate of the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, a highly educated, influential and able man. His term of office continued eight years. The next chancellor was the Rev. James Marvin, D.D., LL.D., who held the reigns of government eight years. The Rev Joshua A. Lippincott, D.D., LL.D., was the next man to occupy the chancellor's seat, which after a period of six years he resigned. Drs. Marvin and Lippincott are clergymen of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
For some reason or other the Board of Regents have introduced a new and peculiar feature into the management of the University for the present year. To use a railroad phrase, they have put at the head of the institution a "double header." or, to express it by mathematical terms — Vice-Chancellor Spangler + Prof. Snow = Chancellor. Under this arrangement, the University has so far been sailing on smooth waters.
Of the Professors longest connected with the institution, are Profs. Snow and Robinson, whose term of service dates from the beginning; Prof. Miller, from 1874; and Prof. Jas. H. Canfield, from 1877.
A few facts and figures are herewith given to show the course of things on Mt. Oread since the day of their inception.

As the University catalogue is now in the hands of the printer, the total number of students will be somewhat larger for the year 1889-'90, than the figures given above.
When the Normal Department was closed by legislative action in 1885, the Normal graduates numbered 78. The Law Department has graduated 63 students; the Department of Music,4;the Department of Pharmacy,32; and thr Collegiate Department,232. Total number of graduates from all departments,439.Many of the Sub-Freshman or Preparatory students would have been Freshmen this year,but for some irregularities in their preparation.
The men and women who have been educated at the University but did not graduate, and those who have received degrees here, are many of them filling high and responsible positions in other Universities and Colleges; some are already prominent railroad men; some are acquiring fame in the practice of law and medicine; some are clergymen: some are filling the positions of high school principals and teachers; some are bankers, and merchants; some are winning distinction in the field of literature; and others have been found worthy to occupy seats in the State Legislature.
To describe the buildings, the library, the museum, the laboratories, and the apparatus belonging to the various departments. would require volumes. That is too large a subject for this paper.

K. S. U. is to Have an Athletic Association, Worthy of Her Progress a d Push.
K. S. U, has progressed—progressed within the last week. She has moved up her lines and pulled her flag a little higher into the air. She looks better for it. She and Mt. Oread seem just a little bigger.
A movement begun by a few energetic students and taken up by the Faculty has culminated into a strong and thoroughly organized athletic association.
Friday, Dec. 14, 1889, was a red letter day in the annals of K. S.U. It marks in her history a new era, and much that is to add to her fame and fortune will date from this event.
The students turned out enmasse to the meeting for the consideration of organizing an athletic association in K. S. U. Every body was intensely enthusiastic and the meeting was thoroughly business-like throughout.
Mr. M. E. Hickey was made chairman and Prof. Carruth and Mr. Kellogg stated lucidly the purpose and aim of the meeting. No one wanted to talk about that and a committee was at once appointed to draft a constitution. Mr. Rus. Whitman was made chairman, and he reported with his usual promptness. The constitution was an exhaustive one, and its merits won its immediate approval.
The officers were then elected, and K. S. U. honors were never placed on better shoulders. Prof. Carruth was elected President, Kellogg, Secretary, and Charlie Voorhis Treasurer.
The constitution provides for the election of three directors at large, two from the Base Ball Club, two from the Tennis Club, and two from the Foot Ball Club. The election of directors resulted as follows: At large, Prof. Arthur Canfield, Prof Max Winkler and Rus. Whitman; Base Ball Club, M. E. Hiekey and Ed. Esterley; Foot Ball Club, Clarence Hall and Armstrong; Tennis Club, Miss Lockwood and A. F. Sherman,
The University prospect for athletic sports is at present exceedingly bright—brighter than it has been for "years and years," and every student who is worth the cost of the education given him, is having a happy time over it.
The Board of directors will meet before the holidays and decide upon some plan for future action.

We do a large mail order business, thereby giving the people all over the West the advantage of trading with us, the Largest and Lowest Price Retail Clothing House in this section of the land. Many of you have visited our Mammoth Establishment, especially our home folks, who recommened us to out-of-town people and strangers as a safe place to trade, where honest goods are kept at low prices that please everybody. Our superior facilities for handling large lots of merchandise enables us to sell better Clothing for less money than it costs most large houses. All who trade with us (and that's most everybody around here) readily see this difference. For instance, you'll have no trouble in finding anywhere Suits and Overcoats marked fifteen dollars, and you will say at once they are worth no more, but any Suit or Overcoat we show you at $15, we absolutely say, and you will see and say yourself that they are regular twenty-five dollar garments, and sell for that in any other store hut ours. Our ten dollar Suits and Overcoats are straight fifteen dollars anywhere else. This remarkable difference in price is just what makes us the largest Clothiers, Hatters and Furnishers in the West. We call attention to our Boys' and Children's Department, and especially to our Iron Clad, All Wool Knee Pants Suits at $3.50, and our Matchless Overcoats at $5.00.

DEAR COURIER
In my lonely bachelor den I am sitting to-night before the blazing fire and as I whiff at my fragrant Havanna I look over the mail accumulated during my absence of one month. As the familiar heading of the COURIER meets my eye I seize it to learn of the spot where 'life was abundant, and busy, and gay', and to where memory now will often turn. A name well known in the old time sends me whirling back to Oread's heights, and I see myself a fatherless boy, awaiting my turn to interview the Chancellor, the kindly, genial Dr. Marvin. Days and months pass and amid all the stir and bustle of college life I find myself forming estimates of character that years have only strengthened.
In this number I am reminded of one Hallowe'en, when with Jenks, Curry, Spangler and Cook—no I must be wrong, it could not be that they went out that night and tore up sidewalks, serenaded the Profs. and then burned Steinberg's sign? What a night that was, and what a jolly row afterwards! Fourteen names given to the 'King Clothier by——Whom? And never a one of them had a hand, foot or voice in the affair. You ask, do I know who did? Most certainly I do, and would not your "grave and reverend" professors stare if I would tell all I do know? But there's little danger schoolmates mine; I'll not give the thing away to-night. Dear old Alma Mater,
Only a little more dingy with spots of rust and mold
Her face toward the eastern hills, her back to the western gales. The dear old pile smiles kindly, acrosss the intervals;
On painted roof and gable—still she welcomes, as of old.
I wander through the corridors, and ever there seems to be,
A throng of laughing faces, gliding noiselessly.
They lurk in the spacious chapel,
they loiter upon the stair;
Pale shades of happy by-gones,
meet me everywhere.
Just there I pass Leach with his handsome, conscious face; over there Dart with a fair maid is looking serenely happy; Findley is gloomily trying to solve the problem of the soul's salvation, and there is Tucker full of honest doubts. Hutchings with brain fertile of schemes is earnestly gesticulating to Sullivan, while Clark poses for an ingenious Y. M. C. A. man. Down the hall Gilmore
and Crane, as "Damon and Pythias" are yielding to the sway of gentle hands and rosy lips. Here comes dear old Dean,
Steadfast friend,
Who never didst my heart of life
misknow, nor other's faults too
keenly apprehend," what "noble
longings for strife" he cherished
but the frail form could not bear
the brunt of lites storms, and now
he sleeps well, safely shrined in
the hearts that loved him.
Scores of "bonnie lassies" that make the blood flow fast go gliding by, some are sedate matrons now where we are ever welcome at their firesides but, for others, the tumult and endeavor of life have passed them by; the storm and the whirlwind of passion vex them no more, and the passionate eyes with all their sweetness are hidden under the violets and the waving grass.
A look backward this season will inevitably be sad, despite the jolly times we used to have on Oread. Ten years or even less, will have worked many changes and yet who would forget? Who would wish to be forgotten? The midnight bells roll out the hour, and I am reminded that my cigar has died out, and with a sigh to the days that were I took again upon my paper to find that "next week comes Christmas," and I know already that "tales have the time of age and chronicles of Eld" have lost their charm. Your eager young souls are counting the hours, and your lips singing "Home sweet Home." You care not for retrospective vaporings of a bachelor for, "when time is flown, 'how it fled it is better neither to ask or tell. Leave the dead moments to bury their dead.'"
As I look from my casement over the snowy earth I see the same old stars with their twinkling eyes that I oft have watched on Oread hill.; the same soft moonlight silvers the walls that makes night radiant about me, and I feel sure that the same kind Heaven bends over us all
A merry, merry Christmas to all old schoolmates wherever they be, and to the new, for the same bond unites us.
Information has been recently recently received giving the "conditional whereabouts" of Prof. Dyche. He writes from British Columbia and reports he and his company well and happy.

INTER-FRATERNITY.
An Able Article That Merits the Consideration of Every Loyal Frat,
An Inter-Fraternity Degree.
BY PROF, W. H. SEARS,
THERE is a growing sentiment among the friends of the University and many of the Alumni that the "college feeling" once so universal at K, S. U., no longer prevails. In the place of this old time fellowship has grown up the intense rivalries and even bitter hostilities of the Greek societies, contending with each other and with the barbarians for political and social prestige.
It is said, and on good authority, that many young men and women of the state are deterred from entering the University because of the close communion exclusiveness that characterizes its social organizations.
And this condition of things has been attributed to the advent of the Greek fraternities.
If this charge be true, is it not about time to call a halt? Would it not be well for fraternity men to seriously consider the situation, and ask themselves, "What can we do to wake from its long Rip Van Winkle sleep the good fellowship, the college feeling of the past?"
Would not the first step in this direction be to endeavor to create an inter-fraternity college feeling or spirit? A spirit that will say "Our Alma Mater first."
All the Greek societies have a common aim and end. It is their highest endeavor to make "all round men" of their members, socially, morally and intellectually; to give aid and encouragement to erring brothers; to lend a helping hand in sickness and distress; and to foster that knightly spirit which makes each one in truth, a Chevalier de Bayard, "sans pour et sans reproche."
If they are all thus animated by these high aims, these noble aspirations, why not extend this brotherly spirit beyond the narrow bounds of the individual fraternity? The difference in fact between the fraternities, lies only in their secret work, their signs grips and pass words.
Would not a sort of Pan-Hellenic or Inter-Fraternity Degree, to which all members of all Fraternities would be elegible, having its own peculiar ritual—would not something of this kind serve to dispel the growing clanishness that characterizes the college fraternities, and bring them closer together on a common ground?
This might be local in its origin, but if it proved a success, it might
become national in its character, embracing all the Greek fraternities in the United States. An interfraternity convention could be held, a ritual adopted, and the interfraternity degree become a fact. It would include in its membership a vast army of college-bred men.
Upon leaving school the Greeks, who had taken the inter-fraternity degree, would be drawn together by a stronger bond of union and good fellowship. The petty rivalries and jealousies that existed at college would be banished, and Greek would meet Greek in interfraternal grip, a universal, united college-brotherhood.
There is already a strong fraternal feeling existing between college men of different fraternities, especially after leaving college.
In support of this, we might give the experiences of many Greeks This feeling would become intensified and strengthened by an inter-fraternity degree.
This degree would also serve as a protection against the impositions of non-fraternity men. At present there is no test that can be applied. Not long since a Greek met a man in Texas who was wearing a fraternity badge. Being of a different fraternity he was enabled to pass as a veritable Greek. Subsequent investigation proved that this man had never belonged to a Greek fraternity.
This degree could be given to each initiate, and also to all the old fraternity men not in college. Some of the leading fraternities have thousands of members. A union of all the fraternities in this degree would swell the number to tens of thousands, rivalling in numbers some of the great secret orders of the country.
Col. Moore on Lord Bacon.
Col. H. L. Moore, the accomplished student of Shakespeare-Bacon history addressed the Phi Pisis and their friends last Tuesday evening on his favorite subject. The speaker gave a delightful sketch of the life and character of of Frances Bacon. He manfully defended him from the slander and injustice of the past. Lord Macaulay was not the least one whose charges against Lord Bacon he labelled as outrageous lies.
Col. Moore is never better than when riding his petted hobby and the audience was delighted with the address.

GOOD ENOUGH.
St. John and the Kent Club Came out on Top.
In spite of the Faculty's opposition, in spite of the intolerant criticism of the city papers, in spite of the bigoted work of a gang of seedy fanatics, a magnificent audience, filling the opera house to overflowing last Friday evening, gathered to hear ex-Gov. St John discuss the Tariff question.
For almost two hours the Governor held the close attention of the immense audience, handling the interesting question in his usual fearless and eloquent manner. He took the side that the present system was radically wrong in principle and application. He used no gloves, and he struck hard from the shoulder.
No, he didn't exactly fail in showing the injustice and inconsistency of the protectionist's theory. Whether his audience was convinced they were certainly pleased.
It was the happy good luck of a COURIER reporter to meet and talk with the courageous advocate of national reforms. Among other good things, he gave his opinion of the modern lawyer, and, as he was the guest of the Kent Club, the COURIER man noted them down for the benefit of the laws of K. S. U.
His plea for the student was exceptionally fine, showing the fire of the orator and the exalted inspirations of a man.
No; there is plenty of room for young men of push, grit and ambition. This is my advice to every young lawyer: Go where there are lots of people, work hard, be honest and you will succeed,
"Well, sir, my experience has been, that if a man is honest, industrious and studious he will make a success of his calling. So many think that a lawyer has to be a trickster to be successful, but it is not true. If a man comes to you accused of murder or some heinous crime, take his case, but treat it honestly Always secure for your client what the law guarantees to him: A fair and impartial trial. Never pack a jury. The man who would be guilty of such a thing is a shame and disgrace to his profession."
But, Governor isn't the profession over stocked?"
"What are the requisites of a successful lawyer?" asked the COURER.
The Governor is himself a distinguished member of the profession, and his remarks have the weight of experience.

The Result of the Courler's Weekly Tour among them.
THE HEAD OF THE LAW DEPARTMENT
The Opera house was crowded last Friday evening to hear Ex-Governor St. John speak on the Tariff. Mr. St. John handled his subject in a manner to sustain his reputation as one of the leading speakers of our country. His speech was entirely non-partisan and full of good points which both the old parties would do well to note.
"We do not know the Faculty's reason for not letting the Rt. Hon. John P. St. John pour forth an harrangue in the University chapel but for various and sundy reasons it seems to us the proper action. There is very little in the addresses of worn out politicians that is of an instructive or elevating nature.—Kansan.
The editor of the Kansan seems to be actuated by an abnormal desire to vent his spleen on some one, and with utter disregard for truth and intelligence jumped at conclusions as he has done before. Mr St. John's lecture while on a subject which both political parties use as campaign capital was entirely non-partisan and far from being a harrangue. If being a man of principle makes a worn out dissatisfied politician, then Mr. St. John comes under that head and our country needs more such. We are not aware who is accountable for such an uncalled for attack, but if the Kansan wishes the friendship of the law department she should extend to it the common courtisies which the other departments receive.

Are the Military Plans of the Courier Supported by the Faculty and Students.
POPULAR.
The COURIER's article on the possibility of securing a military department for the University, has met a hearty reception from both the Faculty and students. They see that such an addition, if properly controlled, would be of incalculatable good to the institution.
They are patriotic enough to know that such an education of the youth is a formidable bulwork for the safety and security of the country. They are sensible enough to know that such a training strengthens the body and elevates the mind of the young.
The COURIER secured the expressed opinion of scores of students upon this question, and without a single exception they were earnest in their support of it. The Faculty's interest in the matter is decidedly encouraging.
In conversation with Prof. James H. Canfield he said among other things: "Yes, I am heartily in favor of this military question, as you call it. You know, in my early days, I was a cadet and Lieutenant of one of the companies of the Brooklyn Polytechnic schools, and my interest in military training has never decreased from that time until this.
