A MANDAMUS has been issued by the court compelling the reinstation of a student who was suspended for announcing in the Chattanooga papers that the publication of the Lookout would be resumed.

A love-lorn couple at Des Moines College recently tired of single blessedness and quietly went to the young lady's home one evening and returned to school under the happy title of Mr. and Mrs. The faculty took objection, not so much, the claim, to the marriage as to the fact that they were not previously consulted. The blushing maid and devoted swain were forthwith suspended, presumably until they repent. —Pulse.
That faculty would probably object to a fellow calling on his cousin and staying later than 10 p. m.
ONE of the most noteworthy events in college athletic circles that has occurred for some time is the result of the Foot Ball contest last week between Yale and Princeton. The most sanguine supporters of Princeton had hardly hoped for anything better; than to play Yale a very close game and it was with a feeling of pleasure that they received Yale's defeat. While K. S. U. is too far from the two contesting colleges to take more than a passing interest, it is easy to see of how much importance this game and victory is to Princeton. Yale has held almost undisputed sway in the athletic field and had this game been decided in her favor it would have received little attention. However as it is the news of it is heard everywhere and for a while Princeton will occupy a much more prominent place than she has heretofore. It is generally conceded that a large number of Yale's students are attracted there by her reputation in athletics and the result of this game cannot but have its influence on the attendance of Princeton.

THE colleges. of Missouri and Texas are agitating the question of a new oratorical association. Missouri is now a member of the Interstate association and should endeavor to maintain a standing in that association instead of trying to form a new association which could not but be inferior in rank to the one already existing. A place in the Inter-state association even if not a prominent position is more to be desired than a prominent place in an association of a secondary rank.
PROF. MARSH has an article written from Paris in the Sunday Journal, which should give hope to persons who allow themselves to give credence to the statement of those scientists that assert that were it not for emigration the American people would become extinct, their theory being that the sudden climatic changes of America are so detrimental to the general health that no race would be hardy enough to perpetuate itself, were it not strengthened by an infusion of new blood.
Prof. Marsh takes a more cheerful view of the matter and gives it as his opinion that the American climate with all of its variations is much more conducive to the health of her people, than is France with her damp, chilly atmosphere. He says that the children of America have a more robust and healthy appearance than the children of France.
Prof. Marsh gives it as his opinion that the intellectual advancement of America is not up to the standard of Europe, yet; that an American scientist is never consulted; that a professor of a European college never considers it necessary to come to America in order to fully fit himself to teach; that a European physician never feels that study in America is necessary for proficiency in his art. Prof. Marsh thinks the cause of these facts is to be assigned to the youth of our Republic and gives it as his opinion that the day will come when America will take precedence, when American Literature, and American Science will be consulted by Europeans to the same degree that Americans now depend on European authority.

Sixth Annual Meeting of the Kansas Academy of Language, Literature and Art.
The Kansas Academy of Language, Literature and Art held its Sixth annual session at Topeka on November 29th and 30th. The University was represented on the program by four members. Miss Simpson was ill and unable to present her paper on "Art life in France." Prof. A. G. Canfield introduced the discussion of Wordsworth. Prof. Wileo read a paper on "Certain Parallels between Homer and the Bible," and Prof. Dunlap spoke of "The study of Dialects in the United States." The other subjects discussed by the academy were "A plea for the study of language," by Principal Ryan of Leavenworth "A Floreatin in the time of Lorenzo de Medici," by Miss Lyman, of Washburn; "Pronunciation," by Dr. Ray, of Topeka. Woodworth, by Miss Carrie Morse, of Emporia, and Rev. C. M. Sheldon, of Topeka. "The Progress Semitic Studies, in America," by Prof. Phelps of Washburn, "The West in Literature," by C. M. Harger, of Abilene; and "Kansas Books of 1889, by Rev. J. W. D. Anderson of Elk City. Prof Arthur A. Marsh was the outgoing president and sent a vigorous address on "Some Public Aspects of High Education in Germany."
The officers for the coming year are President, Rev. E. C. Ray, of Topeka; vice-president, G. G. Ryan, of Leavenworth; Secretary, Miss Ida Ahlborn, Baldwin: Treasurer, O. S. Davis, Topeka; Chairman of the executive committee, A. M. Wilcox, State University. The Academy set their subjects for special report, next year: Billiography of Kansas books; Dialects in Kansas; Kansas Libraries. The Academy hopes to interest all its members and others who are not yet its members, in these lines of work, and that there will be made during the year really solid contributions to our knowledge in these directions. Each branch of work is under the charge of a director, to whom all inquiries about methods of work, etc., should be addressed. Mr. O. S. Davis, of Topeka will have charge of the topic "Libraries" Rev. J. W. D Andetson will direct the study of Kansas Bibliography, while the dialect work was put into the hands of Prof. Carruth, who has just been named Secretaly for Kansas of the American Dialect Society. The next meeting will be held in Topeka during the Thanksgiving recess in 1890.

The sky is covered with a leaden fall.
Through the bushid sir the reenthery snow-
diskes fall.
Silent and softly, filtered through leafies
trees.
Frisking and whirling in the eddying breeze,
Sheeting the hills in shroud of spoiless
white.
Robbing fields in blanket sparkling height.
Basking the impress of the rabbits hurrying

That through the silent forest seeks a safe

The pine tree's swaying boughs are bending

And with their burdens almost sweep the

While underneath their low, extended arm.

The earth puts on a mantle chaste and clean,

SOCIETY IN THE 'VARSITY'
A "Familiar" Characteristic of Our Social Gatherings.
My enthusiasm in regard to all things pertaining to K. S. U has carried me to such length in its praise that I have been called a "crank" as regards the University, and in no particular have I been more enthusiastic than in the praise of our society, and of the benefits to be derived from entrance into this society; and upon this subject in no way could I bring out more strongly its superiority than than by a comparison with the society of other places into which it has been my pleasure (in most cases, pleasure, indeed and not misfortune) to enter. I still maintain its excellence taken as a whole and in most things, but in some others a comparison made while enjoying my holiday vacation, was not very favorable for the University society. I found the utterly foolish and disgusting habit of cigarette smoking during all social gatherings very common and wide-spread, an inevitable accompaniment, it seems, of the insipid "dude" and of the young fellow who thus elevates himself into an early manhood, in his own estimation. This is carried to the extreme elsewhere more than here, I am very thankful to say. It is the familiarity which exists between members of various crowds or "cliques," the presence of which is an ever-to-be-deplored fact, but is none the less a fact, which is perhaps, the most disagreeable feature of our society. This "clique-ism" is brought out with extreme prominence during the early part of the year, for it is then that the new students going into society here at K. S. U. for the first time may be seen standing at one side, almost wholly excluded from participation in the evening's enjoyment, unless perhaps they are being "rushed" by some fraternity and then may be seen fawning courtesies and false politeness which, in its way, is as disgusting as the first selfishness. Though the old adage "Familiarity breeds contempt" may not be strictly true, yet lack of respect is a necessary result of familiarity. It is only among very young people that we hear, or that we should hear, persons addressed by their first names in the presence of a company. To me it means lack of respect when a gentleman thus addresses a lady, and lack of modesty
when a lady so addresses a gentleman. This familiarity, also, often leads to actions which, without exaggeration, might be called rude; the words "Oh, well, it is only Charley!" or "Nellie won't care!" have served so often as an excuse for an act of rudeness that "Charley" or Nellie" have no longer the finer instincts and sensibilities of a gentleman or lady that should tell them it is but a poor apology for wounded feelings. It seems to me that the sense of gallantry and politeness which every gentlemen feels toward a lady, and the sense of respectful acceptance and appreciation of this gallantry by the lady, should be deeply offended by this mode of address.
This is one of the several specific and, one might say, little things which might well be omitted from our social gatherings.

THE STATE SANITARY CONVENTION.
A Full Attendance at the Several Sessions...—Interesting Speeches and Prominent Visitors.
The Fourth Annual State Sanitary Convention was held Wednesday evening in the Y. M. C. A. hall. The hale was filled with the delegates to the convention and citizens of Lawrence. A suitable platform had been arranged for the use of the speakers and ranged round this were the prominent men in attendance.
The convention was called to order by Judge Hindman, of Olathe, in the unavoidable absence of Gov. L. U. Humphrey. Music by a quartette of male voices, was followed by an invocation by Rev. Ayres. Chairman Hindman then introduced Doctor B. W. Woodward, who addressed the delegates in a speech of welcome on behalf of the city. Mr. Woodward's talk was extremely bright and pleasant, being, filled with references to Lawrence's notorious lack of sanitary improvements, and hence the great appropriateness of holding a Sanitary convention in the city. His references to the work of the State Board of Health were very complimentary. He expressed the satisfaction of the people of the state with the work already done by the Board, and the high hopes entertained for future results. The talk was well received.
Judge Hindman responded briefly on behalf of the officers and delegates of the convention. He had noted the prominence in the programs of the various sessions given citizens of Lawrence, and instructors in the State University. He considered this, however, eminently proper, as Lawrence was noted for its interest in scientific subjects, and the University was especially able to offer valuable suggestions as to matters of sanitary science. Judge Hindman is happy in his manner of speech, and took the place of Gov. Humphrey satisfactorily.
In the absence of Dr. G. H. T. Johnson, of Atchison, his paper entitled "Statement of the Objects of the Convention" was read by Dr. Williams of Olathe. The paper was an able one and treated especially of the lack of knowledge on the part of the people of the state, of that vitally important subject—epidemic disease. Dr. Williams did not read all of Dr. Johnson's paper, but announced that it would appear in print, and recommended that all delegates obtain a copy of it.
After briefly describing the topography of Lawrence Prof. Marvin went on to say that we had no system of sewerage and that our only attempt to take care of storm water is the old Henry street sewer. Professor Marvin spoke of the folly of several of the methods of disposing of roof water and refuse in use in town. He spoke of the ravine in West Lawrence and other private cesspools. He then spoke of the two methods of sewerage, the combined and separate systems; the combined system being intended to carry off rainfall not absorbed by the roof or refractory of the factory that can be carried by water. The arate system only attempts to carry off a limited amount of roof water and includes such refuse as can be carried off by water, and usually includes some arrangement for automatic flushing. From a sanitary and financial stand point, the speaker claimed that the seperate system

is the first, as the pipes are smooth and do not permit slime to lodge and breed bacteria or "sewer gas" which causes so much disease. The city authorities of Lawrence have adopted this seperate system and have plans and report of its designer, Mr. H. L. Marvin, also a report of engineer Rosewater of Omaha.
DR. REDDEN'S PAPER.
"Know Thyself: Self knowledge is the title of the admirable paper read by Dr. J. W. Redden, of Topeka. The object of the paper was stated to be the suggesting of a few facts that may lead the hearer and reader to a proper description of the responsibility of every man to know himself. The want of self-knowledge large attributes to early cutting down of noble lives, to the blasting influence of acquired disease. The good resulting from the now common teaching of hygiene in our public schools cannot be over estimated. Mr. Redden considered at some length the question of alcoholic stimulants and tobacco. In fact, these seemed to be favorite topics of discussion
Dr. Redden's paper was witty and Lept the audience in a good humor.
MORNING SESSION.
The second session of the Sanitary convention began at 9:30 yesterday morning in the lecture room of Snow hult. Prof. Snow acted as chairman in the absence of Judge Hindman. The audience was largely composed of University students, and should have been larger.
The first paper was read by E. H. S. Bailey, professor of chemistry, and Prof. L. I. Blake, professor of physics, of the University.
WELL WATER IN LAWRENCE.
EXAMPLES of water from wells in the first four blocks south of the river were taken and tested for impurities. Water to be good should not contain over 05 parts free ammonia to a million or more than 13 parts of albumidoid ammonia in a million.
Prof. Blake described a method of detecting the drainage into wells. He pours a solution of chloride of lithium into out house valleys, cesspoils, etc., and after a week's time makes a spectroscopic analysis of the well in the vicinity. If the cesspoil drains into the well lithium will be found in the water. Very minute quantities of lithium can be detected by this spectroscopic analysis. Blake was successful in discovering lithium in one instance. The weather has been unfavorable to the test. There is no lithium in the vicinity of Lawrence. The paper is a valuable one, and is of great interest to citizens of Lawrence.
UTILITY OF BOARDS OF HEALTH is the title of the paper read by Milton Welch of Wichita, member of the State Board of Health. Mr. Welch set out ably the utility and good of organizations for promoting public health. He referred at length to the growth of sanitary measures and systems. Mr. Welch's paper was exhaustive and because of many statistical points is hardly capable of being condensed.
Sanitary matters in Douglas county by N. Simmons, M. D., of Lawrence attracted much attention
by Mr. Winkler followed the discussion of Dr. Simmong paper. Mr. Winkler has had the fortune to become intimately acquainted with the physical condition of the students in certain of our leading colleges and universities. His description of the methods of athletic training in Harvard's gymnasium was extremely interesting, and offered besides many points of excellent advice.
Mr. Winkler is a pleasing and forcible speaker and his earnestness and enthusiasm lent weight to his thoughts. The speaker in closing, made a strong plea for the establishment of a gymnasium in the University of Kansas, which was seconded by Prof. Snow in a few remarks. This closed the second session.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Although not first on the program, Prof. Sayre gave the first paper, of the
ADULTERATION IN FOODS AND MEDICINES.
He said that there are many places where food and medicines are the same. Spices for instance are found in groceries and drugstores. The American Pharmacetical association was organized to keep out of home market inferior drugs and to protect home products. The government now rejects drugs now not up to the standrd. That competition had caused to some extent the producer to first class drugs; it had also done much to introduce impurity to some extent by forcing low prices and the guilt of adulteration rest to some extent upon the public who demand cheap goods. A law was passed last winter which makes it criminal for any one to sell adulterated food, but the supreme court has decided that it must be proved that the goods are sold with criminal or culpable intent.
Some discussions followed by Mr. Spangler, Prof. Canfield, Prof. Bailey and Mr. Woodward, Mrs. Diggs, Mrs. Grubb. Dr. Henney of Garrett followed with a paper on
THE INTEREST OF THE STATE IN THE PREVENTION OF DIREASE.
He advanced the theory that all epidemic disease is caused by germ generated from decayed animal and vegetable matter. He advocated the passage of a law giving local health officers power to stamp out unisances; he advocated giving the health officers something for their work.
Some interesting discussion followed. SANITARY INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES
was the next paper by Dr. W. L. Shenck, of Osage City.
HEALTH
He began by naming the ill's which hedge about mankind and said that a healthy body was essential to a healthy growth of mind and soul and it is hence the duty of the educator to reach the pupil to care for and develop the body. The community as a family can only prosper in health and the great need of the age is a system of citizen law the laws of sanitation that we may have sound bodies and healthy minds. It is a purpose of the education to store the mind with facts which shall benefit the community. Every pupil should be given at least a practical knowledge of hygiene, and in PHYSICAL CULTURE AND ITS RELATION TO
by Dr. Bunn was the next paper. He began by saying that our country men were intensely ambitious and nervous; it is an age and country of great cities, in this civilization is the common failing called neural exhaustion. The fact that each birth is not a hygienic regeneration makes this neural exhastation grow worse during the exgenitalis until examination. He makes of the fact that we are not well built, and that we are growing worse in this direction. He said that the best means of remedying these issues is not by patent medicine nor by the quack doctors, but by physical culture
MONEY VALUE OF A LOW DEATH RATE was the title of Prof. Blackmar's paper. He began by stating the three methods of estimating the economic value of a man; the first, by ascertaining the cost of bringing up a laborer, or about $800.00; the second method, the money value of a slave is from $800 to $1000; the third, what wealth he produces over and above his consumption annually is about $45.00. Mr. Blackmar said that if the life of a laborer would be prolonged one year it was in effect an economic saving of $45, and if the death rate in Kansas for instance could be lowed one per cent, it would be worth on this basis $204.302. He continued at some length quoting statistics, showing that from a money stand point sanitation pays. With his paper ended the afternoon session.
FOURTH SESSION.
The fourth session of the Covenation was called to order by Prof. Snow at 8 o'clock last evening. Music by a male [Concluded on Fourth Page.]
Go to Hume's 829 Massachusetts Street for Fine Boots, Shoes and Slippers.
quartette composed of Messra, Halloran,
Howe, Mull and Stevens, opened the
session. An intelligent audience filled
Snow hult's lecture room. University
sessions again as in previous sessions
made up a good part of the audience. The first paper of the evening was read by Dr. Williams of Olathe, entitled:
PUBLIC HEALTH AS PUBLIC WEALTH
Where little attention is paid to the health of a nation, the wealth of that nation has decreased, and the death is equally here until 1869 was the first State Board of Health organized in the United States. Now nearly every state has its Board of Health. The speaker presented the results of statistical work going to show that the death of any person in the United States is equivalent to a loss of $1,500 to the country.
Prof. F. H. Snow of the University smoke of
POLLUTED WATER
Whenever any water has in solution a certain definite amount of foreign matter, that water is impure and not fit for drinking. I will speak chiefly of pollution by organic matter. I exhibit on these charts various forms of organized organic matter. Prof. Snow here referred to numerous colored drawings of desmoid, doatoms, bacteria, epitheloal scales, etc. The speaker noted various cases in which the carrying of disease-germs by water seemed to institute epidemics. He stated in plain and forcible terms the undoubted cause of typhoid fever, the merely impure water, but water charged with typhoid gerns. Prof. Snow takes no stock in the "oxidation theory" of chemists. Infiltration does not effect disease gerns. Continued boiling is the only method of destroying germs in water. Several letters from Prof. S. W. Williston of the Yale Medical School, were quoted from the support of this view. The paper was one of the most interesting of the whole convention, and was evidently appreciated by the audience. To illustrate the paper several slides of water from the Kansas River and the Lake were exhibited by means of the Steropeptcan. The exhibitions were startling in their rerelations of animal life in the water, and furnished amusement for the audience.
SANITARY CONDITIONS OF SCHOOL LIFE.
Dr. Frank Swallow of Valley Falls, presented a paper on.
THE PEREMPTY PHASE OF MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION
Little attention has been paid by authorities and legislators to the subject of school Sanitation. School books and school methods are thought of, but Sanitation neglected. "A sound body is essential to a sound mind.
is a paper prepared by the members of Senior class of the University, and presented by Prof. James H. Canfield.
The town differs from the country in that more of regulations and laws are necessary. The powers and functions of municipal authorities are ministerial and wholly independent of the popular will, preeminent among the peremptory powers of municipal authority is the care of the public health; quarantine may be declared; nuisances may be abolished. Inspection of streets, alleys, and lots; investigation of diseased meats, watered milk, adulterated food; regulation of sewers and drainage; care of sidewalks, etc., etc., all come within the peremptory powers of the mayor and council. In all matters of cleanliness, and consequently, public health, the municipal authorities should act promptly and firmly. The city is a business corporation and the mayor and council are its business agents. The paper was heartily applauded. It was spoken of by members of the convention with much commendation and surprise was expressed that so clear cut and forcible a paper could be gotten up by boys. Messrs. Roberts, Bowersack and F. H. Kellogg are the students responsible for the paper.
MRS. A. L. DIGGS,
of Lawrence, read a carefully prepared paper on the, "Personal Duty of the Citizen touching the prevention and spreading of communicable diseases, from the standpoint of the mother." Mrs. Diggs' paper was an able exposition of the duties of the citizens as distinguished from the duties of the authorities. Diggs' ability in writing and her vigorous thinking were well exhibited in her paper, a synopsis of which the Journal hopes to print.
After the completion of the program Dr. J. Milton Welch of Wichita presented the usual set of resolutions thanking the citizen the press, (of whom we are which) the University authorities, the secretaries of the meetings and the quartette. It was decided to meet in Manhattan, in December, 1890. No other business appearing, the Convention adjourned.

The pledge season is over at last, and the feminine portion of the University breathe easier. The "pledge" has been so obviously and so repliedly violated this year, in spirit at least, if not literally, that we doubt if it will be continued another year. This seems to be the sentiment of many of the young ladies themselves.
Orophilians gathered last Friday evening in their hall, but the lecturer having asked a postponement till another week, no regular meeting was held, but the members "fooled around" while as one of the studentssaid, and then went home. Atheneum held no meeting we understand. The contest seems to occupy all the attention of the members, and the regular meetings suffer in consequence.
Prof. Blackmar's bureau of newspaper study is developing into quite a useful and important department. Files of newspaper articles are kept in a patient file, under classified readings. These clippings are made by the students every week. All the papers taken in the library are carefully gone over, and as a large number of influential organs from all parts of the Union are taken by the University, a very complete record of newspaper literature on current topics in Sociology and Political Science is obtainable.
The Seminary had a rather smaller attendance last Friday afternoon than it deserved. Several members who were on the program failed to turn up. There is so little literary society work done here by upper classmen that when it comes to work in the special societies they ought not to shirk. Mental laziness is as bad as any other kind. Some people can dance all night, but when it comes to doing a little extra University work they "cave in." The Seminary will not meet again, until January, and it was a pity the members did not brace up and make the last meeting of this fall a better one.
The Kent Club found an organization of a House of Representative Friday night. Mr. Feller presented the views of the Democratic party in a speech of twenty-five minutes, which was replete with good things, well said, and nominated Mr. Rogers for speaker. W. A. Foster followed with a speech for the Republican side of the house and nominated Mr. Mermian. Mr. Gettys finished the program by expounding the views of the prohibitionist, and placed in nomination Mr. Wallace. The house adjourned until the first Friday after holidays, when the speaker will be elected. This is an enthusiastic body, and will doubtless be a strong one before the end of tae school year.
Among the articles received from Germany by the Chemical Department this week were, a Davy's Safety Lamp, apparatus for determining vapor density, water baths, drying baths, dessicators, evaporating dishes, beakers wash-bottles, flasks, etc., in large quantities. Also from the firm Schuchardt of Gerility, Germany, a large invoice of chemicles, including quite a number of rare organs, chemicals and salts of rare metals, also some very rare metals as Osmium, Palladium, Uraium and Silicon. Considerable more both of Apparatus and Chemicals are expected next week. Thus continual additions are made to the department.
Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity will have a party at Miss Sydney Dailey's this evening. A grand and enjoyable time will undoubtedly be had.
Saturday afternoon the ladies of Pi Beta Phi met at the home of Miss Agnes Love and were entertained by a very interesting talk by Prof. A. G. Canfield on "Literature and Reading." The professor began by remarking that he and the faculty were surprised to find so little knowledge of general literature among the students. He said he had made a list of the books taken most frequently from the library and gave the titles of some of them. He spoke at some length of poetry and the poets and the influence of their work. The ladies have made these talks by faculty members a very pleasant feature of their work and have profited largely thereby.
Friday evening the ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma gave a reception in Frazer's Hall. The bleak and barn-like hall had been fitted and decorated with excellent taste and effect, and looked charming especially in spots. Near the entrance, rugs, chairs, easels, pictures, and parlor bric-a-brac had been arranged so as to make a pretty reception corner, and here the ladies of the fraternity greeted their numerous guests. The grand march did not cease until the company had found themselves in the Eldridge dining room, where proprietor Conn had prepared an elaborate menu. Dancing began at 10:30 and continued till late. The Mandolin club furnished acceptable music. The ladies of the fraternity are to be congratulated upon the success of the affair and have added to their long list of happy entertainings. Those present were Prof. and Mrs. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bowersock, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Bowersock, Misses Overton, Kansas City Kas, Miss Bayless, Kansas City Kas, Maude Florer, Indian Territory; Grace Rector, Topeka; Myrtle Moore, Topeca Kate Hewins, Kansas City; Effle Scott Marcella Howland, Lena Beard, Heeler Weber, May Webster, Josie Hutchings Hattie McCague, Mame Monroc, Mauntisdale, Milia Crotty, Belle Roberts Amy Hayes, Paola; Ila Williams, Cora Kimball, Jeanie Edwards, Jessie McBride, Naid Maxwell, Etta Hadley Manie Johnston, Waterville; Gussie Price, Nell Franklin, Maude Springer Nina Taggart, Donnie Bowersock, Laura O'Bryon, May Hair, Laura Lockwood Nell Morris, Jean Fullerton, Rose Nelson, Annie McKinnon, Inez Taggart Profs.

There were present Misses Overton and Hewing of Kansas City, Kas., Pennebaker, Russell, Lyons, Webster, McMillain, White, Price, Scott, Hutchings and Bennett; Messrs.

Unity Club.
The desertion of New England farms was discussed by Prof. Carruth. Mr. Colman, Mrs. Grubb and others. The subject is full of interest and elicited many personal remembrances.
An interesting meeting of the Unity club was held Monday evening. Mr. V. L. Kellogg spoke of African exploration, and gave in some detail an account of Stanley's recent journey across the African continent. The speaker's naration was made clearer by the one of two charts.
Death of Waier Britton.
The following we clip from the Lawrence of Journal December 11. The deceased, Walter Britton, was a graduate of the University and a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. His chapter and his many other friends deplore his boss.
The many friends and acquaintances of Walter H. Britton in this city, and in Kansas generally, will be deeply pained to learn that death has claimed him at the threshold of what all who knew him expected would be a brilliant career. Hon. C. C. Baker, state printer, received a letter from J. S. Weaver, superintendent of mails at Fort Worth, on Sunday, enclosing the clipping from the Fort Scott, Kansas, Monitor, which follows:
"Died—Britton—At San Antonio, Tex,
Tuesday, December 3, 1889, of consumption,
Walter H. Britton, in the twenty-
fourth year of his age.
"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 ticket office and afterwards became connected with the Topela Commonwealth in the capacity of assistant managing editor. When the Capital consolidated he want to Florida for his health, and last spring returned and accepted a position on the St. Loui Republic and afterwards with the Globe-Demoerat. Four weeks ago he was confined in Santa Rosa infirmary, where he went by advice of his physician, and where he died. —Capital."

In the December number of the Century is an article entitled "The Nature and Method of Revelation" which to a student is very instructive and interesting. It places the Bible in a light in which we are not often accustomed to view it, and gives to Christian religion a character which we are inclined to over look. ___

THERE has recently been placed in the library The Inter Collegian, a monthly, under the management of and for the interest of the College Y. M. C. A. Associations. The matter and work of the associations are, in it, treated in a very instructive manner, and the field covered is especially broad.
DENISON UNIVERSITY at Granville, Ohio, has recently chosen a new President to take charge of affairs of January. He is spoken of by the collegian of that University as of "the substantial New England stock," and from his connection with different institutions we should judge that he has had sufficient experience to be proficient in his line.
In the last Earlhamite is an article entitled "what a Summer costs in Germany," from which we will copy one of the concluding paragraphs: "A company of three or more boys could land at Hamburg, tarry a week; visit in turn Harz Mountains, Berlin, Dresden, Weimer, Eisenach, and Gottingen, and r turn for school in September refreshed, happy, almost educated, in comfort on $225 each, from Richmond (Ind) back to Richmond again."
THE Local Oratorical contest at Washburn takes place this evening. Below is the program:

Public Opinion
H. D. Tucker
The contestants are quite well known by the greater part of K. S. U. students a.ad the impression is that the orations will be of a high standard. It will be a courtesy for as many University students as can to attend.
SURPRISE has often been expressed by members of other colleges throughout the State, that they should find Professors attending the K. S. U. parties and hops. This is a fact upon which the University students should congratulate themselves. How much pleasanter it is to feel that we are receiving the permission and sanction of our faculty in trying to give to our school life a few pleasant hours, than it would be if we were compelled to use our inventive and imaginative genius in finding excuses and opportunities to endulge in those few hours of recreation.
The Exchange editor of The Hesperian of the University of Nebraska, (we are explicit that readers may know where it maintains its existence), in a very knowing and "God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are," manner, picks to pieces the exchanges, probably all, that come to his little table. Now it goes against our conscience to criticize our brothers but when we see a thing of this kind we cannot but feel that somebody has not got beyond the Sophomoric state of trying to beieve that there is only one side to this life and that a dark one.
THE Elite Journal is publishing short sketches of Alumi members each weak, taking up classes in order.. They are probably interesting to the Alumi itself and may some day be valuable for reference.
In the last issue of The Baker Beacon under the head of "Baldwin Needs" are ennumerated twenty-four things. Any person slightly acquainted with circumstances will fully agree with the Beacon, and perhaps if requested, would willingly add more to the list.
We do not know the Faculty's reasons for not letting the Rt. Hon. John P. St. John pour forth an harangue in the University chapel, but for various and sundry reasons it seems to us the proper action. There is very little in the addresses ot worn out and dissatisfied politiions that is of an instructive or elevating nature.
It is with feeling of regret that we learn that the pledge the ladies fraternities, prohibiting rushing and spiking during the first three months of the year, has been disregarded to a considerable extent. During the year that it was sirtly kept it proved a remarkable help to both new and old students, saving time for both allowing parties and allowing them to become thoroughly acquainted with each other. Even this year it has been a benefit and we hope that efforts will be made to renew it upon a firm basis. Of course we do not know who is to blame for the breach this year, but that a breach has been made is a fact to be deplored. It is a matter of honor with the fraternities and all individual members should so guard their actions as not to reflect upon that honor. We again urge that the pledge be renewed. To admit that the effort of our University young ladies to make a reform of such an important nature has proven a failure would come very hard. Such an admission is not consistant with our idea of the firm and energetic character of the young ladies in question.
THERE has recently come to our notice the Journal of the Knights of Labor, the official paper of the Knights of Labor, published in Philadelphia. The general tenor of this paper is extremely disgusting to any true citizen. It is of a nature that will excite the dissatisfied and vicious side of the character of the laboring class, especially foreigners, and leaves out altogether what should be the true principle of any publication that goes before the public; the elevation of mankind. The paper however contains considerable matter that is of interest to a student, as for example, an account of speeches made by the delegates of the Georgia Farmers Alliance before the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, an article entitled "Pauper labor in the South" and the report of their committee on the investigation of labor troubles in Pennsylvania, besides considerable general labor news.
THE following is the list of studies offered by Prof. Plackmar for the Spring term:
Prof. Blackmar Lectures
NSTITUTIONAL HISTORY
Lectures three times each week, on Comparative Politics. The History of Germanic institutions will constitute the main body of the course. Monday. Tuesday and Friday at 9 o'clock.
THE RISE OF DEMOCRACY.
Lectures twice each week on the rise of popular power and the growth of political liberty throughout Europe. Tuesday and Thursday at 10 o'clock.
ELEMENTS OF SOCIOLYGY. Lectures three times each week on the evolution of social institutions from the primitive unit, the family; including a discussion of the laws and conditions which tend to organize society. The latter part of the course will be devoted to the elements of modern social science as preliminary to the consideration of problems of the day. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5 o'clock.
LAND AND LAND TENURES.
Twice each week. The course will begin with a discussion of the Roman land question and extend to the Feudal land systems of France and England, and thence to the consideration of modern land Tenure of Great Britain and the United States. Tuesday and Thursday at 5 o'clock.
PRACTICE COURSE IN ECONOMICS.
A full term's work in applied economics and in the elements of social science; consisting of conferences, discussions, practical observation, and the preparation of a thesis of not less than twenty thousand words on some special topic selected by each student.
We hope the Railroad companies will show their usual kindness in offering reduced rates to the students for their trip home to spend the Holidays. Our vacation will begin December 20th and last until January 6th, and if the time of the reduction co-incides with those dates the kindness to the students will be enhanced.

STARTLING DISCOVERY.
A Disgraceful Combine Existing Adelphie.
When Adelphic Literary Society was founded it was hoped that the University would now have a society free from the evil effects of combinations; it was hoped that a literary society had at last been established that would live as long as the institution lives an honor to the University and an honor to its members. But it appears that these hopes were not well founded. After ironclad agreements a disgraceful combine has just been discovered. Its unfairness surpasses that of any combine which ever disgraced history of Oread, Orophilian or Athenaeum. It has been learned from good authority that a combination has been in existence since the founding of the society between the members of Excelsior Debating Club and a few prominent barbs. They propose to capture the principal offices and honors and dictate the policy of the society.
The first election is only a sample of what this combine will do in the future.
President of Adelphic-G. Overtree member of Excelsior club.
Vice-President of Adelphic -C.
P. Chapman, member of Excelsior club.
Critic of Adelphic—Hervy White member of Excelsior club.
Chairman of the Executive Committee—Hervy White member of Excelsior.
The other members of the Executive Committee are Riggs and Hall who are supposed to be in the combine.
By this can be seen how well they accomplished their purpose. It does not reflect any credit on those persons who induced a large number of barbs to join Adelphic under the pretense that it would be free from combines that they have pursued this disgraceful policy so soon after its founding. That this combine has been formed should be a source of regret to the members of Adelphic who do not belong to the combine and to those who do a disgrace. DETECTIVE.
Respectfully referred to the consideration of the Hesperian and Occident.—Ed.

Come and inspect the stock and get prices.

Science Club.
The Science Club was very much disappointed last Friday night for an account of sickness of Prof. Martin could not give the second installment of his paper on methods of book illustration, but a very pleasant and profitable session was held in spite of it. The President, P.A. Williamson read an account of the "Panama Canal and its projector Mr De Lesseps." He compared the canal with the Suez and showed the greater difficulties in the way of the construction of the American canal. The Nicaragua route was brought before the Canal Congress held in Paris to select the best location but the congress was largely composed of De Lesseps' partisans who would not agree to anything but a sea level canal such as De Lesseps proposed to construct at Panama. The French engineers have paid the penalty of the prejudice now for the Panama company are not even able to construct a canal with locks and an American company has a ready commenced work at Nicaragua. Mr. Williamson will continue the same subject in a subsequent paper. Mr. McMurtray gave a report on recent electrical discoveries, a field which always affords interesting news, no matter how often it is drawn upon, no more meetings will be held this year but the new year will be opened by a Science Clnb entertainment given the first Friday after school opens. Each department will contribute something of interest and importance illustrated by experiment or by the electric stereopt con, and the entertainment will close with a "Summer in Estes Park" illustrated by lantern shades prepared from the photographs taken by the Colorado party.
No admission will be admitted except on invitation by the club. Each member will have the privilege of inviting four friends.

THE COLLEGE WIDOW.
How She Lost Her Grip on the Seniors and Sophomores.
He turned sternly from the slight, quivering figure, convulsed with sobs, and, leaning his elbow on the mantlepiece, gazed darkly into the empty grate.
"Then it is true," he said, as the frown deepened on his brow.
"Forgive me!" she sobbed, rocking to and fro in her grief and abasement.
"But you told me you had never loved before—that no man had ever stirred your heart."
"Not as I loved you," she cried, wildly.
"And yet you admit that you were engaged to Ferguson, of the class of 877"
"And that before that you had an understanding with Williamson of '86?"
"Yes," she murmured.
"And with Graham of '85?"
"Yes."
"No, no," she cried. "not with him; with both his brothers in the Sheffield Scientific, but not with him."
"But you were engaged to Sandiman of '85?" he went on referring to a letter in his hand.
"Can you not forgive me?" she pleaded.
"I could, Clara," he said, after a pause. "I believe I could bring myself to it if that was all. But you were also engaged to McHaffy of '84?"
"Ah!" she cried, feebly. "do not spare me from you"
"What have you to say for yourself?" he demanded, harsely. "Speak womans!"
"Ah, George," she said, "you little know the exigencies of a young girl's life in a college town."
For an instant he hesitated, as if his bet'er nature moved him, and then he turned toward the door.
"Farewell!" he said. and walked rapidly away. In another second the street door clashed behind him.
With one heart-breaking cry the girl flung herself on her knees and buried her face in the cushions of the parlor sofa.
"All is over," she cried, brokenly.

The vaccine virus, used to produce what we call "vaccination," is obtained by shaving the belly of a young milch cow, or even a calf. After the shaving process has been accomplished to the satisfaction of the operator, the skin is scarified and the wound inoculated with the virus from an animal already in use. A sore is thus produced without injury to the beast. After about a week or ten days a kind of matter begins to flow from the abrasion; this is the vaccine virus used by the surgeons. Goose quills, which have been scraped with a knife so as to present a rough surface, are rubbed in the fluid—not filled with it as some suppose. From 1,000 to 10,000 quills, varying with the different animals, are thus provided with virus from a single abrasion on a cow's belly. If you should closely examine one of these quills after it has been "medicated" you would be unable to detect anything wrong with it. The blood from the scar on the arm molests the virus and causes it to have the desired effect—St. Louis Republic.
How Vaccine Virus Is Obtained.
Students will find it to their advantage to call at the American Clothing House when in need of anything in the clothing line or gents furnishing goods.

The Executive Board, recently chosen at the college meeting, wishes to present its case of the Atheletic Association to the students and friends of the University, and to make an appeal for the support, both by contributions of money and by personal influence. The work that the directors have determined to push immediately is the preparation of suitable athletic grounds upon the North part of the campus. Considerable work will have to be done on them; students are at present engaged in making a preliminary survey as a basis of an estimate of the probable cost of the work, but it is certain that a considerable sum of money will be needed, probably $1,000 at the least. The directors have great confidence that this sum though it seems large by comparison with sums heretofore raised for athletics, can be raised without much difficulty. Our total enrollment is 500 or more; an average contribution of $2 which is, of course, a very small sum would raise that amount without going outside the University, and it is fair to assume that many contributions will be considerably larger.
If the students reflect that they are his year for the first time relieved of the contingent fee of $10 00 and that probably no one of them would have been unable to come if the fee had been簌ed they will see that it is possible for any one to contribute, at least, part of this amount to and which involves the welfare of the whole University. The alumni and the whole body of former students need only to have the matter brought to their attention to give it their substantial help. The Regents are known to have this matter at heart and the people of the city may also be relied upon to aid liberally such a permanent improvement of the University. But the response of the Alumni and friends outside of the University will be much more prompt and generous if the directors can report that the students themselves have shown sufficient interest to do the utmost in their power before appealing to others. They have resolved, therefore, to make an individual appeal to each student and member of the faculty to bear this matter in mind during the coming vacation; to speak of it to alumni or other old students; and to come back prepared to make a liberal subscription toward an object in which all are alike interested

News was received here Tuesday evening of the death of Mr. E. A. Wheeler in Portland, Oregon. Mr. Wheeler was a former University student, and is well and favorably known in Lawrence. While here he was employed as city editor of the evening Tribune. At the time of his death he was in the employ of the Portland Transportation Company. The Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, of which Mr. Wheeler was a member, received the news or his death with much sorrow.
There was a military company in the University once, but it died out because the boys were too lazy to drill. Scott Hopkins was Captain. They made a big splurge for a while, and then quit. When the boys wouldn't come to drill the Captain would send a corporal's guard around and make them come. But after a while there wasn't even enough present to form a corporal's guard, and so the scheme failed. The average University student would rather sit around and talk and smoke than drill.

This may not be an exact likeness of the new Chancellor but it is the way most people think he will look.
Last night the University chapel was well filled with students and citizens who assembled to listen to the contest between the Orophilian-Athenaeum societies.
Drophilian-Athenaeum Contest.
The exercises were opened by a piano selection by Miss Lichtenwalter which was well rendered, followed with the declimation by Miss Webb, "How he saved St. Michael's," in which she acquitted herself in an easy, graceful manner. "The men to make a State" was then rendered by Harold Barnes of Athnacum society, who did well. Mssa Ia Williams and Walter Howe then favored the audience with a duet. They sang in their usual excellent manner. J. A. Mushrush's oration on "Our National Evils" was well written. The oration by H. F. Roberts of Orohillian on "Charles Sumner and the Kansas Struggle" was very well written and well delivered.
The debate then followed. "Resolved: That the Prohibitory Amendment should be Resubmitted to the People of Kansas." Affirmative, H. S. Hadley and R. D. Brown, Athenaeum; negatives, W. W-Brown and E. L. Ackley, Oorophilian. The debate was very carefully presented showing signs of considerable preparation on both sides.
The judges was Messers B. W. Woodward, H. L. Moore and C. F. Meserve. During the intermission Dan Crew and Dunc Collins favored the audience with mandolin and guitar music; being encored, Dan Crew rendered a solo. The performers were frequently and enthusiastically applauded.
The decision of the judges was as follows: First part of program, Atheneum, 87 and Orophilian, 89. Debate, Atheneum, 87 and Orophilian, 90.
Frank Edson, Homer Ellison and Hi. Montgomery will not return after the holidays. The boys are among the most popular here, and we are sorry to see them go.
We hear that the redoubtable Prof. Dyche, after losing himself in the wilds of British America, has found himself again, and is now on his way home. Hurran for Dyche! It isn't every University that has such an indefatigable specimen hunter as Prof. Dyche. When he comes home the students ought to go down to the train in a body and give him a rousing, rousing old welcome.
Mr. Arthur L. Adams, city engineer of Pendleton, Oregon, and Miss May Gemmell, daughter of R. B. Gemmell of Topeka, were married at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening at the house of the bride's parent in Topeka. Mr. Adams was a member of the University class of '86, and was one of the most popular students in college. He has been engaged in engineering since leaving college, and has met with marked success. Miss Gemmell was a former resident of Lawrence, and is well known in society circles here.

Last Saturday night the elegant home of Mrs. Sidney Daily, on Ohio street, was thrown open to the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity and their friends. About twenty-five couples were present and enjoyed the royal hospitality for which Miss Daily and her Theta sisters are so famous. The Mandolin Club furnished the music which tempted the guest to the dance, which was in interrupted only while the guests regaled themselves with the delicious refreshments spread. The dancing was then resumed and continued until a late hour. As entertainers the Thetas have few equals and certainly no superiors in University circles, and the occasion last evening was perhaps as good evidence of this fact as could be offered. The fraternity starts out this year in excellent condition are to be congratulated upon the acquisition of Miss Blaker, who donned the black and gold last evening. Those pres ent were: Mrs. Gibbs, Msses Cook, Kansas City; Stores, Topeka; Gilaon, Osage Mission; Josie Hutchings, Stella Hutchings, Blarker, Russell, Barrett, Emery, Pennebaker, Reasoner, Mamie Monroe, Clarke, Howland, Webster, Dailey, Mush rush, Bartell, Walker, Towne, Grabe, Messrs, Crawford, Adams, Hutchings, Horton, Merriam, Hadley, Taylor, Elli son, Cook, Kansas City: Rankin, Watson, Armstrong, Brooks, Mushrhin, Allen, Sherman, Morse, Melvin, Hank, Flannelly, Blaker, Morris, White, Davis, Voorhis.
Things have been going on so pleasantly this year at the University, with no factional fights among the students, that we almost regret the approach of the holidays, because with them closes an extremely pleasant term. Such genuine good feeling between students of all classes, without regard to fraternity divisions or anything else; such enthusiastic University spirit and unity of purpose among the students, has not been seen here for some time.
The Tri Delta, or Delta Gammas,
whichever the new girls' fraternity is,
offer a special inducement to the girls
they wish, the friendship of the Sigma
Nus. This is certainly an inducement.
The University boys went to the "show" Tuesday night to have a good time. In that respect alone the show was a success. We heard it remarked by a newspaper man in town that he thought the doorkeeper was the best "star" in the outfit.
We have heard remarks on the unusual expenses in the social line which have been brought about this term by the very numerous parties. It would seem to most people that the social—or rather the "society"—business is becoming in danger of being overdone this year, to the detriment of the real purpose for which young men and women are supposed to come to the University.

THE UNIVERSITY.
A Brief Account of the Work of the Various Departments.
NATURAL HISTORY DEPARTMENT
[F. H. Snow, Ph.D. Professor of Natural History and Director of the Museum; Lewis L. Dyne, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, Taxidermist and Curator of Birds and Mammals; W.C. Stevens, Assistant Professor cf Natural History; E. P. West, Assistant in Zoological Museum; E. D. Eames, Assistant in Taxidermy.]
Several important changes were made in this department at the beginning of the present year. Pursuant to the action of the Legislature, the Regents have added to its usefulness by dividing the chair of Natural History and promoting the former assistant, L. L Dyche, to the new professorship. The Regents, moreover, confirmed Prof. Snow as head of the Department by conferring upon him the title of Director of the Museum.
Mr. W. C. Stevens is now Prof. Snow's regular assistant. Mr. Stevens completed the Natural History course here in '85, and has since been further qualified by teaching the sciences in the Emporia High School.
Proof. Dyche, who has under the new regime the chair of Anatomy and Physiology, is at present on the Kettle River, in British Columbia, about three hundred miles north of the line. In a recent letter he states that he has been very successful in obtaining mountain sheep and goats, and that he is now hunting caribou far to the north of the sheep area—at this time an undertaking of great hardship. He relies in great measure upon the knowledge thus found of these animals in their wild state, to enable him to reconstruct their skins and skeletons into such marvels of natural posturing and anatomical moulding as are represented in his two famous buffalo.
Judge West returned in October from a four months' trip to Western Kansas. He is rapidly building up one of the finest collections of paleontology in the country. In some respects it is already superior to any collection in the world. This is especially true of the fossil leaves of the Dakota sandstone, among which are a great many types. One of the most valuable of his recent discoveries is an entire twenty-five-foot saurian, whose head has been worked out with the most painstaking care until every tooth and every little bone has been freed from the soft limestone in which the specimen was imbedded.
The University has a great advantage over Eastern institutions in its close proximity to the collecting grounds. When Prof. Snow hears of a valuable find in Western Kansas, or Colorado, or New Mexico, he does not trust to the tardy mails or reticent telegraph, with every prospect of being outbid by some rival museum, but he sends on a man immediately with carte blanche privileges. In this way the Natural History Department has possessed itself of many most valuable specimens which otherwise would have gone out of the State.
During Prof. Dyche's absence classes in Anatomy and Physiology have been satisfactorily instructed by Miss Gertrude Crotty, a recent graduate of the Natural History course.
Mr E D Eames is now regularly enrolled in the museum corps. He is Prof. Dyche's special assistant, and his entire time is given to the preservation and arrangement of the skins and skeletons continually coming in.
The money appropriated by the last Legislature for this department has been judiciously expended, and now the beautiful Snow Hall has been furnished with modern heating apparatus, while more special appurcuances are being rapidly purchased—such as new and improved microscopes and accessories, specimen cases, illustrative apparatus, and books.
There are now four students who are pursuing the special course in this department. Graduates in this course go out nearly every year, and without exception they are filling responsible positions in their chosen field.
The classes are large, and show no
falling off in membership under the optional system.
The work done here is pre-eminently a practical one, and Prof. Snow has emphasized this by his researches in economical entomology.
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS.
L. J. Blake W. S. Franklin.
Work in the Department of Physics is somewhat diversified, and in general lies in three lines—a of courses of experimental lectures, with elementary and advanced b. laboratory work and c. of technical work in electrical engineering. For these lines there is now (1890) about $11, 000 worth of demonstrative and laboratory apparatus, and $6,000 worth of machinery—mechanical and electrical. The laboratory experiments follow closely the German method and course of Von Helmholtz. Eight rooms are now equipped with stone piers, tables, balances, handtools, photographic outfit, etc., for laboratory students An are light circuit extends into the rooms, and a five-mile telegraph line, with thirty working instruments, connects with the Western Union and Santa Fe lines for live tests. After familiarity with exact measurements and with delicate apparatus is attained by various experiments, original work in several lines is begun. Such work consists of researches in heat, light, etc., and also the making of accuratus apparatus. The present term various galvanometers, three double coil reflecting, one ballistic, one absolute tangent, also one slide wire wheatstone bridge, one magnetic intensity apparatus, have been made by the students. The Laboratory is under charge of Mr. W. S. Franklin, with Mr. A. Radchfile as assistant.
In electrical engineering the usual delicate electrical measurements are done in the Physical Laboratory, the heavier practical work at the machine shop. This latter is in a separate building, recently erected at a cost of $16,000. This contains now $5,000 worth of the best machinery that can be bought. On the first floor is a forge and engine room, a 35-horse power Annisten & Simms engine, and a complete American Arc plant. Space is reserved for other dynamos. On the second floor is now being placed in position a Flather 6-foot screw cutting lathe, a Prentice 24-inch upright drill, a Gray 6-foot planer, and a Brainard milling machine. There is, further, a tool room, benches with vises and full sets of bench tools. A progressive course in practical machine work from Freshman to Senior years will be required of each student. The aim will be the finished product and the right method of making it. This shop is intended to give practical training in the purely mechanical part of electrical engineering, that the young engineer may know how to make and temper his tools, repair his electrical and other machinery, and also design and construct new forms. The students in turn have charge of the electric lighting of the University grounds. Duty tests on the boilers, cards from the engine and efficiency tests on the dynamo are to be made. Mr. Frank E. Ward, lately foreman of the Bates Manufacturing Company of Joliet, Ill., and an experienced and skillful workman, is in charge of the shop. The Department of Physics and Electrical Engineering is in charge of Prof. L. I. Blake.
DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY.
This department, like many others, has been gradually evolved in the history of the University. Formerly all the natural sciences, and some of the mathematics, were carried by one instructor. Later on Physics and Chemistry were made separate departments, and in 1885, on the creation of the Department of Pharmacy, some of the work was taken by that department. Mineralogy and metallurgy are still carried in the Department of Chemistry The work of Freshman and Sophomore years is of a routine character, general chemistry being studied by the entire Freshman class, and qualitative analysis by the scientific section of the Sophomore class. In the former the instruction is by lectures, recitation, and laboratory exercises. In the qualitative analysis each student is
E. H. S. Bailey, E. C. Franklin.
supplied with chemicals and apparatus, and is required to learn a systematic process for the analysis of simple mixtures, and to demonstrate in the laboratory his ability to do the work.
Some of the optional studies are a part of certain technical courses. Among these advanced studies may be mentioned mineralogy and blowpipe analysis—a practical examination of minerals and rocks. This properly precedes the course in Geology with Prof. Snow.
Quantitative Analysis, which is the basis of the course in Applied Chemistry, is taught throughout the year. The aim here is to secure gr at accuracy and self-dependence. The course leads to the higher work required, not only in investigation, but in the laboratory of the sugar manufacturer, the iron smelter, the dyer, the water analyst, the sanitary engineer and the mining engineer.
In the second term the following options are offered: (1.) Domestic and Sanitary chemistry, which is intended to be a practical application of chemistry to every day life. Some of the problems treated will be: Air and water, and their impurities; fuels, illuminants, ventilation, sewage, disinfectants, foods, including their sorce, composition, purity and methods of cooking and preserving, textile fabrics, and finally the processes of digestion and nutrition, and the composition and uses of the more important animal substances. The only requirement is a knowledge of Freshman chemistry. (2). Assaying is also taught in this term. This includes the examination of ores of gold, silver, copper, iron, mercury, and lead. (3). Organic chemistry, followed by (4) Toxicology, constitutes a term's work. The instruction in the former is by recitations, and in the latter by lectures and laboratory work.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY

The department of Pharmacy was established in the fall of 1885. Since that time, it has been gradually developing in strength, and acclimatizing apparatus and material necessary to carry on its work satisfactorily. During the first year, the laboratory facilities were very meagre in fact the department had no laboratory of its own, but shared the chemical laboratories with Prof Bailey.
At the end of the first year, a laboratory specially devoted to pharmaceutical work was fitted up and although it was by no means what would be desired, it was of great service to the department at the time.
The course of study has the advantage of all schools connected with the Universities—that of giving thorough training in the pure sciences as well as the special work of the pharmacist. Thus, while the student recites with the regular collegiate classes in Botany, Chemistry, and Physics, they have regular lectures and recitations, daily, in Pharmacy and Materia Medica throughout the two years course.
The corps of instructors numbers eleven members, most of whom are also members of the faculty of the department of Literature, Science and Arts. The instruction in Chemistry includes general Inorganic Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis in the Junior year and Elements of Quantitative Analysis and Organic and Physical Chemistry in the Senior year.
The instruction in Botany includes Systematic Botany, Analysis of Plants and Structural Botany—in connection with the latter, is given Misceric Examination of drugs with special reference to Adulterations, etc. The special application of the sciences to the work of the Pharmacics, is given in the lectures Pharmacy and Materia Medica.
In referring to the merits of the department of Pharmacy, we can do so, better
perhaps, by quoting from a contemporary, addressing prospective students in Pharmacy. "who are looking toward a most economical and advantageous expenditure of their time and money." It says: The student who receives his degree at the Kansas State University, is well equipped for his life's work, as this degree is not lightly bestowed, but is given as the reward, not only of two years of close application in laboratory and class room, but also includes two more years of practical experience in the drug business. These may be spent either before or after the course prescribed in the University, and are a most valuable addition, as taken together with the thoroughness of the University course, they render the degree conferred of far more value than any other in this part of the country.
It is right and proper for us to patronize our own state institutions whenever it can be legitimately done, but when the superior advantages of the K. S. U. course, leading to the degree, are considered, as well as the absence of all fees connected with it, duty becomes and investible privilege to the pharmacist who would be thoroughly equipped for his future career.
CIVIL ENGINEERINF.
F. O. Marvin, E., Murphy.
This department is very well equipped with engineer's instruments representing the work of various American makers. Fauth & Co., of Washington, D.C., a firm that has made a large number of instruments of precision for the U.S. Coast Survey, furnishes the latest additions to the engineering apparatus, in the shape of a large geoditic transit, a high grade secondary triangulation transit and level of precision. These instruments are of most excellent workmanship and line finish and are adapted to work requiring great accuracy. The department possesses several engineers transits, a solar transit, several levels, a plane table, compasses, barometers, chains, tapes, rods, a heliotrope, a current meter, a current testing machine of 2,000 pounds capacity and several minor pieces that are useful in the office or the field. It is the aim of the instructors to give students of this course as much practice in the use of all these instruments as is possible, so that students have considerable field work during the four years. One class makes a survey of a short line of railway. Another class may make a triangulation of the country about Lawrence, or a survey of a section of the Kansas river. A hydrographic survey of the river, including the measurement of its volume of flow was executed by a class of two or three years ago. Just at present the Juniors are taking the data, necessary to making an estimate of the cost of grading, drawing and fitting up an athletic ground on the University campus. One member of the Senior class is now making an original investigation on the behavior of cement under certain conditions, and in carrying this out has used the testing machine almost daily since the first of October. The work in draughting consists of theory 'as found in Descriptive Geometry' of problems designed to bring out neatness and rapidity of execution and of mapping surveys made in the field. The engineering student of necessity has a thorough course in pure mathematics through the Calculus, with thorough courses built on this in Mechanics. Resistance of Materials and the Mechanics of Fluids. Following these are their practical applications, the construction of roofs and bridges, the various branches of municipal engineering involving questions as to street construction, the adjustment of grades, water supply, sewerage, and the sanitation of dwellings. A course is given in the field work connected with railways, as well as one on the economic theory of their location. The work in surveying includes ordinary land surveying followed by a term's work in the theory and limitations of instruments, methoes of hydrographic, topographical and mining surveys, and the elements of geodesy. A course is also given in masonry construction, including foundations, and
one on the forces of contracts, specifications, bonds and other papers connected with the letting of the work. In Language, the student is expected to acquire a reading knowledge of French and German. In general science, courses in Physics, Chemistry, Minerology, Botany, and Geology, are taken. That the course in Civil Engineering given in this University, results in fitting young men for responsible places, is proven by the roster of its graduates. Many of these have been very successful in winning the confidence and respect of those who employ engineers.
MODERN LANGUAGES.
W. H. Carruth, A. G. Canfield and Max Wink
ler.
In 1879 there was one chair of German, French, and Drawing. In '80 an assistant, half-time, was added; in '82, Drawing was cut off; in '83, the whole time of an assistant was devoted to German and French; in '87, French was made a separate chair; this year an assistant is added to the two chairs, so that now the whole time of three instructors is given to German and French. The near future will see an assistant in each language, and the introduction of Italian and Spanish.
German. — German is taught by reading, by writing, and by speaking, each as an end and each as a means to the others, the emphasis being laid on one or all, according to the needs of the student. The required work is sufficient to enable any bright and willing student to read ordinary German with satisfaction; the full course, including optional work, is sufficient to enable an earnest student to write and speak the language with considerable case. It is also designed to give close acquaintance with several schools or periods of German literature, as this year, with Goethe's classical period, and with the Historical Novel. Next year will be offered a much wider range of topics. Those desiring a more detailed statement of this work are invited to send for University Bulletin 7. Der Deutsche Verein is a club of advanced students, the proceedings carried on entirely in German, under the guidance of the department. The head of the department will gladly give what aid he can to teachers of German in the schools of the State.
French. — The general aim of the courses in French is to give students the ability to read French as readily, swiftly and accurately as may be. It is not expected that they will learn to write and speak it like their mother tongue, but the average student does become sufficiently familiar with it to use sources of information in French easily and without loss of time, and to read its literature with almost as unimpeded a satisfaction and enjoyment as his own. At the same time the matter read in class is chosen with a view to giving, also, information about the institutions and history of the French people, and the achievements of the French genius in literature and art. Those who select French as a subject of special study, in the upper years of the course have the opportunity of making a more detailed acquaintance with the literature of France in its great periods; of investigating the origins of the language and if clrature, or of acquiring a more perfect command of the language in writing and in speaking. The Junior and Senior courses of the present year include the Romantic School, the Development of the Novel, and Advance of French Composition. The library now contains now contains the more important French authors in serviceable editions, and a fair collection of books of reference. The Department also possesses a very fine set of mops, charts, lantern slides, and photographs, to illustrate the history of France and its historical and artistic monuments.

be extended to a two years' course, in]ccluding the reading of easy selections from the best of authors; and to all students, a course in Greek Archaeology and Art. The department at present offers, also, a course in Linguistics, a study of the number, variety, character and history of the languages of the world, open to all students of the University.
In the reading of Greek authors, as much time as is necessary is devoted to the philological side of the work, but this side is subordinated to the literary and artistic, both matter and form being carefully studied, and an attempt being made to get some insight into the development of the literature. Rapid reading and sight-reading, also, are ends sought, and are practiced in all classes. All courses are accompanied by lectures on the author and his works, and by private reading, and the higher courses by special studies on particular topics brought out in the progress of the work. All courses, also are illustrated and enlivened by the numerous objects on exhibition in the Classical Museum.
In the Latin Department, the ends sought are: the correct and easy reading of Roman authors; clear understanding and appreciation of the best portions of Roman literature; an accurate knowledge of Roman history, political, civil, and social; and an understanding of the chief features, at least, of Roman art and archaeology.
The methods pursued are: translation from the book, translation by the ear, reading the text without translation, prose composition, colloquial use of the language; comment on the finest passages and comparison with other authors; talks and essays on historical subjects, social life, etc.; the study of text books, lectures and comment on many topics in art and archaeology, with frequent use of illustrative apparatus.
Nine optional studies are offered in the Junior and Senior years, in the lines of history, poetry, philosophy, the drama, and archaeology. The courses in philosophy and the drama are arranged to follow similar courses in Greek, in order to make clear their sources and development.
The Classical Museum provides the apparatus to illustrate both Greek and Latin studies. It has on permanent exhibition thirty casts, and nine models of the finest productions of Greek and Roman art, together with photographs and colored plates of sculpture, architecture, and vases. It contains, also, a much larger number, to be seen on application to the instructors, of photographs, plates, and charts, illustrating all styles of architecture, nearly all periods of sculpture, the most celebrated myths, views of famous places in Greece and Italy, the methods and results of the latest excavations and the manuscripts of ancient authors. A model of the Acropolis of Athens and relief-maps of Athens and Rome enable a student to realize the life of the ancient Athenians and Romans to an extent possible in no other way.
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT.
Charles G. Dunlap, Mark E. Hopkins
There are three important phases of the study of English; the practical phase, embracing essay work; the literary phase, embracing the interpretation of literature; and the philological phase, or the study of the language for the language's sake.
The practical phase appeals to us all. To write well is an accomplishment. A student may have good ideas about a subject; he may even have investigated it deeply, but unless he be able to express those ideas in clear, idiomatic English, they will be of little avail, and will never carry conviction with them.
A student learns to write only by constant practice and painstaking effort. The ability to write well is not a gift; it is gained by serious effort, by work. Anyone can learn to write clearly who will devote himself to the task. There is no hidden magic about it, except the magic of work.
That students may have constant practice in writing, exercises, themes and forensics are required of all students during the entire course. These exercises are corrected by the department, not only from the point of view of style, but also of subject matter. In addition to the required essay work, an optional course in advanced English composition is offered where the student has opportunities for daily practice in writing, with the advantages of personal criticism and oversight.
The literary phase of English study aims at that higher and broader culture which comes from a close and careful study of literature itself. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of work of this sort. As literature is man's highest expression, as poetry is the record of human life, the value of the study of literature cannot be doubted.
The department offers courses in Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Bacon, and Dryden. The works of these authors are studied critically in connection with the times in which they lived. Outside reading is required, and all that is possible, is done to inculcate a fondness for reading, and to foster the spirit of investigation.
The philological phase of the study of English has a purely scientific interest. Here the student investigates the development of the language from the historical point of view. Etymology is carefully studied; idioms are scrutinized, while grammatical forms are critically worked out. Without knowledge of this sort, a student may study literature, but he can have no just conception of the might of our language. He cannot know whence came modern English, without first knowing something of the earlier form of English. A knowledge of Anglo Saxon helps him to see what made Chaucer a possibility; by studying the sources he sees from what roots our great literature has developed.
Opportunities for study of this sort are offered in courses in Anglo Saxon, and in middle English.
Library facilities for the study of English are excellent. Recently there have been added to the library complete sets of Anglia-Englische Studien, the publications of the Chaucer Society, and of the New Shakespeare Society. To the student either of language or literature these will prove rich fields for investigation.
HISTORY. POLITICS AND SOCIOLOGY.
HISTORY, POLITICS AND SOCIOLYGY Instruction in History, Politics and Sociology is given by means of lectures, recitations, discussion, conference, and personal direction in study and research. Special pains are taken to facilitate the use of the University library by students taking these topics; authorities closely connected with the work in hand being withheld from general circulation, and rendered more available by carefully-prepared card indexes.
AMERICAN HISTORY AND CIVICS.
JAMES H. Carpell
American History.Instruction is given daily for two years in American History.Marked attention is given to social life and institutional and industrial development; to the financial experiments of the general government, and to diplomatic relations; to the failure of the confederation, the struggle for the constitution, and to the text of the constitution itself; and to the constitutional and political history of the Union from 1789 to the present.
Public Finance and Banking.—Lectures twice each week during the first term, on National, State and municipal financiering; and on theoretical and practical banking, with the details of bank management.
Constitutional Law. - Lectures three times each week during the second term, on the constitution of the United States; with brief sketches of the institutions and events that preceded its adoption, and with special attention to the sources and methods of its interpretation.
HISTORY AND SOCIOLOGY.
Local Administration and Law.-Lectures three times each week during the first term, covering the management of public affairs in districts, townships, counties, cities, and states.
The aim in the following courses is to give a comprehensive knowledge of the great topics of history, and to investigate general social, political, and economic phenomena and theories--especially those of Europe.
International Law and Diplomacy. Lectures twice each week during the second term, on the rise and growth of international law, and on the history of American diplomacy.
Frank W. Blackmar.
Instruction will be given daily throughout the first term, as follows;
English History.This course embraces a careful study of the English people and the growth of the English nation, including a general survey of race elements, and of social and political institutions.
The Intellectual Development of Europe.
A course of lectures tracing the history and philosophy of intellectual progress from early Greek society to modern times. Particular attention is given to the influence of Greek philosophy, the Christian church, the relation of learning to liberal government, and of the rise of modern nationality.
Political Economy. The fundamental and elementary principles will be discussed, and will be elaborated by descriptive and historical methods. A brief historical sketch of Political Economy may be given at the close of the course.
The second term's work includes the following courses:
Institutional History.—Lectures three times each week, on Comparative Politics. The history of Germanic institutions will constitute the main body of the course.
The Rise of Democracy. -- Lectures twice each week, on the rise of popular power and the growth of political liberty throughout Europe.
Elements of Sociology.—Lectures three times each week on the evolution of social institutions from the primitive unit, the family; including a discussion of the laws and conditions which tend to organize society. The latter part of the course will be devoted to the elements of modern social science as preliminary to the consideration of the problems of the day.
Land and Land Tenures---Twice each week. The course will begin with a discussion of the Roman land question and extend to the Feudal land systems in France and England, and thence to the consideration of modern land tenures of Great Britain and of the United States.
Practice Course in Economies.—A full term's work in applied economics and in the elements of social science; consisting of conferences, discussions, practical observation, and the preparation of a thesis of not less than twenty thousand words on some special topic selected by each student.
SEMINARY OF HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL SCIENCE.
All students connected with the Department of American History and Civics and that of History and Sociology are, by virtue of such connection, members of the Seminary. All students having two or more studies in either or both of these departments will be expected to take an active part in this work.
The meetings of the Seminary will be held each alternate Friday evening. in Room 15, University Building.
Special assistance in choice of themes, authorities, etc., will be given members of the Seminary who have written work due in the two departments forming the Seminary, or in the Department of English, on condition that the results of such work shall be presented to the Seminary if so required.
Students preparing for journalism will be given special work as reporters, and on exchanges, news columns, editors, and "make-up," under constant supervision. Such students must also carry advanced English Composition, rapid writing and criticism—English No. 10 in the University Catalogue—in the last term of senior year as a regular study.
Special investigation and study will be undertaken during the year bearing on some one or more phases of the administration of public affairs in this State. The officers and members of the Seminary will gladly render all possible assistance to any public officials who may desire to collect special statistics or secure denine information on such lines of public work as are properly within the sphere of the Seminury.
During the last half of the year the work of the Seminary will be reinforced by the results of the practice-class in Economics, under Professor Blackmar.
The officers and members of the Sem
Any citizen of Kansas interested in this work is invited to correspond with the Seminary, and to be present at its meetings when possible.
MATHEMATICS.
E. Miller, Olia Templin.
This department endeavors to keep in view the fact that all study worthy of the name has two objects to be attained—an increase of knowledge and culture of the mind. The acquisition of knowledge is a good thing in and of itself, yet to know a thousand facts in mathematics, natural history, language, or chemistry, will cut a very poor figure among men, unless accompanied by a genuine development of the thinking and reasoning powers, and the ability to control and direct them.
The major portion of the time and skill of those in charge of the work in mathematics is, therefore, devoted to the forming of clear notions in the minds of students; not simply to the storing away in the memory of a vast number of formulae and propositions to be brought forth from under lock and key whenever the necessity arises to exhibit such wares. To cultivate the power of analysis, and enlarge the scope and activity of the higher faculties, are kept constantly in the foreground.
We believe, also, that by far the greater number of students may become intelligent in the characteristic processes of mathematics, and no one can conscientiously pursue them without receiving great advantage of a stimulating and strengthening nature. These processes do not lie beyond the reach of good common minds; nor is it necessary that a well marked and special aptitude for the study should lead one to cultivate the science, and the lack of such aptitude lead or drive another from it. The scope of the work that is being done in the University in mathematics has a much wider range than that of an ordinary college course, embracing regular classroom recitations and discussion in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, Calculus, Determinants, Quaternions, Method of Least Squares, Analytical Geometry of Three Dimensions, and the applications of the Integral Calculus in triple and higher integral form. The department is still burdened with classes in elementary Geometry, a relic of the old Preparatory course. That once out of the way, and the work in the Higher Analysis will be widened.
To enable the student to pursue his course intelligently and with increasing interest, the Mathematical Department of the University has within a few years been enriched by the publications of such English mathematicians as Cayley, Sylvester, Salonon, Todhunter, and others; and by those of Canchy, Lagrange. Sturm, Jordan, Serret, Laurent, Halphen, Comberonse, and others of the French School. A complete set of the American Journal of Mathematics is also upon our shelves—a journal that is equal, if not superior to any other periodical of the same kind published in Europe or America.
The history of the science, quite full and complete, may be found in the same collection; notably a general history of mathematics, in French text, twelve volumes, by M. Marie; a history of the Theory of Probabilities; and a history of Greek Mathematics. It is expected that in a year or two there will be added the collection a set of Crelle's Journal, numbering about one hundred and three volumes.
SCHOOL OF MUSIC.
Wm. Mac Donald, Dean.
The school of music provides advanced classes of instruction for amateur and professional students. The plan of instruction includes thorough courses in Piano, Harmony, Counterpoint, History of Music, the elements of fame and instrumentation, and English. Candidates for admission are examined in the
Rudiments of Music and in certain prescribed work in Piano, and also in the English, Geography and History required for admission to the collegiate department.
The course of study covers three years, the studies being divided among the different years as follows: First year, Piano, Harmony, Freshman English; second year, Piano, Counterpoint, Sophomore English; third year, Piano. Elements of Form and Instrumentation, History of Music. Upon such as complete the full course of study and give the required public recital, the degree of Graduate in Music is conferred by the University.
Instruction in the School of Music is free to all Kansas students, but all students are required to take the full amount of work prescribed for any given year of the course. Either class or private instruction in piano is given, as the needs of each student may seem to demand. Classes in Piano are limited to four members. Class lessons are of an hour each; private lessons, one half hour each. All classes recite twice each week.
In addition to the general library facilities of the University, student to the school of music have access to a choice collection of works on the history of music, vocal scores of operas, cantatas, and oratorios, vocal and pianoforte music, etc. To this collection additions are made from year to year by purchase, donations and loans.
The instructors in the School of Music are able to devote a limited amount of time to the instruction of private students, for which instruction the usual fees are charged. While such students are not enrolled as regular members of the School, an opportunity is thus afforded for any persons desiring to complete their preparation for the regular course, to carry on such work during a period of residence at the University.
In addition to such regular courses as are carried in the School of Mesic, there are offered as free electives to Juniors and Seniors of the Collegiate Department courses in Harmony, Counterpoint and Musical History. In offering such courses of study to Collegiate students, the University follows the example of Harvard, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
ART.
The University offers facilities for the study of drawing and painting. This work is in the hands of two ladies, Miss Cora Parker and Miss Mary L. Simpson. In art, perhaps more than in any other branch of instruction, everything—or nearly everything—depends on the teacher. The ground work, the rules of drawing, the laws of color, are susceptible of being put into book form, and of being imparted by means of lessons and recitations. But a perfect knowledge of these does not make an artist. There is something beyond these which cannot be reduced to rule, and which must be given to the pupil by the teacher, almost unconsciously. The art student gains most from the atmosphere which surrounds his work. The development of each is an individual growth. Anybody can learn to draw or to paint after a fashion, but the genuine artist has a way of expressing himself that is his own, and which must be allowed to develop itself if he is to be anything else than an imitator of some other one's style. Happy is the young art student who finds a full of knowledge, who can teach good drawing and initiate him into the mysteries of combinations of color, full of enthusiasm, one who loves to draw or paint, and who stimulates the artistic feeling at every turn, and without making it apparent that there is any effort to do so, and one who is wise in guiding and in not curbing the individuality that seeks expression. The art students of the University, though faraway from art centers, from artists' studios and exhibitions, are favored in their teachers, both of whom are enthusiasts, and having the quality of inspiring enthusiasm in others Miss Parker, who cares for the work in drawing—and who gives satisfaction as well in wood-carving—is a pupil of the Cincinnati School of Design and of

Each year there is a considerable surplus remaining from the receipts of the local contest. This has been divided out heretofore among the stockholder-rs of the association. The amount that each one receives is of course necessarily small and does not amount to much to the stockholders one way or another. Now while the present athletic movement is on foot, why would it not be a good way to encourage it for the members of the Oratorical Association to give the net proceeds from the contest this year to the Athletic Association? It would only be a small amount to each member but the total amount would be a very material addition to the funds of the Athletic Association. It is to be hoped the members of the Oratorical Association will consider this proposition favorably and thus help along the movement towards establishing the athletic grounds.

PROF. SNOW read a paper on the "Chinch Bug" before the Farmers' Association at Wichita Tuesday. The University is the only college of the state that was represented at this meeting.
DURING the past year, Johns Hopkins University has received donations amounting to over $400,-
000. $100,000 has recently been donated by Miss Caroline Donovan to endow a chair of English.
It is proposed to hold an international congress of teachers during the World's Fair in 1892. Such a gathering could not but be of great benefit to American teachers in securing to them the recognition from abroad that is due them.
Colleg traternities are prohibited in Princeton, Oberlin, Monmouth, and the University of Illinois.— Wesleyan Lance.
The students of Nebraska are taking much interest in the election for the prohibitory amendment soon to be voted on in that state. It is hardly necessary to say that they all favor the amendment. College students are always found on the side of enlightenment and progress.
And if the past counts for anything fraternities will not be prohibited at those places much longer.
It shows very bad taste to say the least for persons to get up and leave church when the services are about half through, and we hope the young gentlemen who have been guilty of this practice will turn over a new leaf and either stay until church is out or stay at home. —Beacon
And this from Baker that makes such boasts of the good behavior of her students.
IN this issue of the KANSAN we present our readers a brief account of the various departments of the University. This will more especially interest persons away from here but there will be found much in the various accounts of the departments that will interest those who are students here, for the University has assumed such proportions that it is impossible to keep acquainted with the work of the departments beside the one that one is connected.
We received this week a copy of the Transactions of the twentieth and twenty-first meetings of the Kansas Academy of Science. The book is substantially bound and contains many valuable papers and reports on questions of interest to Science. The names of the members of the Faculty of the University are prominent throughout the book, there being papers by Profs. F.H. Snow, E.H.S.Bailey,L.I. Blake.L.E.Sayre and W.S. Franklin,most of them having several papers or reports.
THE local contests were held last Friday evening both at Washburn and Baker. At the former the contest was won by S. W. Naylor. His oration was entitled "The Puritan and Cavalier." At the latter E. Y. Hil was the successful contestant, his oration being entitled "Philosophy of Social Amelioration." Both of these gentlemen are good speakers and it behooves our orators to look well to their laurels if K. S. U. is to be successful this year. The other colleges have an advantage over us by having their contest earlier than we do and it will be only by a vigorous effort that we may expect to be successful.
THERE are perhaps few places were the relations between the students and the people of the city are as pleasant as they are in Lawrence. In most of our exchanges when we see any thing on the subject at all, it is in complaint of the manner in which the students are received. The general complaint is that he students are denied admittance to the society of the city in which the college may be located. How different is the case here. There is no social gathering at which the student is not welcome. Instead of considering it as a favor to the students, to admit him, to their homes, the people of Lawrence always esteem the students' presence there and an invitation to any University gathering is always highly esteemed by Lawrence society. No better class of people can be found anywhere than in Lawrence and it is a rare privilege to be permitted to attend a University situated in cultured and Christian community and where so much int rest is taken in the welfare of the student. Lawrence considers the University as her charge and her people nobly to their duty towards the students, and the people of Lawrence are never forgotten by one who has once been a student in the University.
THE Pacific Pharos goes Edward Bellamy one better and puts a man to sleep and does not awaken him until Bellamy's plan has been put in operation and proved a failure and though the production of a college student, it must be said it uses much better logic than the famous "Looking Backward."
The Clay Centre Dispatch came to us this week with the name of Bion S. Hutchins at the head of its columns. Bion is one of the well known sons of K. S. U. and one of the rising newspaper men of the State and the Dispatch will undoubtedly have a brigh career under his management.
The De Pauw *Adz* complains of the treatment of De Pauw University by her rivals in the State of Indiana. The eminence that De Pauw has won seems to be viewed with envious eyes by the less successful institutions and the *Adz* says that "unable to compete with her in the open arena, they seek satisfaction in 'throwing dirt' at her fairly won laurels. They magnify mole-hills into mountains and strain their imaginations in other ways, but all to no purpose." We can heartily sympathize with the *Adz*, for the distinction and popularity that Kansas University enjoys among the people of the state of Kansas has been "as a thorn in the side" of some of the smaller colleges of the state and they being afraid to stand on their merits and admit of a comparison, seek to injure the University by abuse which is the favorite argument of those supporting a bad cause. That there are other colleges in the state worthy of consideration, we do not attempt to assert. That there are other colleges in the state that can offer the same or equal inducements to students that K. S. U. is able to, we deny. The position of the University among the colleges of Kansas and we might add among the schools of the west is undisputed a d we admit of few rivals. In fact in the fields where we meet other colleges of the state, Oratory and Athletics, there is really only one college, (Washburn)* that presunes to be a rival of K. S. U.
A START has at last been made towards securing good grounds for our athletic associations. That the students are interested in this movement was evinced in the meeting last Friday, an account of which is given on another page. Every student should take it upon himself to help this along. Give those that have taken the matter in hand all the encouragement you can. What we can expect to secure from outside sources will be regulated by the interest that is shown in it here at the University. Persons away from here should be interested in the movement and their co-operation secured. When we are at home pains should be taken that as much as possible should be told about the University and about the need of a gymnasium and by the time the legislature
meets again an appropriation may be secured. It is not for sport alone that a gymnasium and athletic grounds are wanted. It would be much better for the health and welfare of the students. It has been demonstrated that in a school has a good athletic provisions the health and scholarship of that school is better than that of a school with poor athletic privileges. It has also been shown that in the same school the scholarship of those that are not. It is certainly worth the while of every student to put forth his every effort to secure better facilities for athletics.

Charles Malville Dewey, of New York Since completing her course she has devoted herself largely to teaching, but has found time to do considerable work in her studio. Miss Simpson devotes her energy and talent to works in oil. She has studied under two or three New York artists of established reputation, and, during a year spent in Europe, sat under the instruction of Benjamin Constant at Paris for the greater part of one season. While giving her time to her classes, she still finds spare moments to put on her own canvases. The work of both of these ladies finds favor, and they have pictures in many Kansas homes. The courses in this department cover three and four years, beginning with the simplest drawing and progressing through still life to figure drawing from the model, landscape and composition. The students have sketching trips and club rights, and occasional lectures are given. The library and reading room is open to them, and they find there several of the leading art periodicals of the world. But the personal direct influence of the instructors is the greatest advantage that is offered. As long as this is right, there is present the main essential of an art school.
LAW SCHOOL.
Jas, W. Green, M. Summerfield, Willis J. Gleed,
Hans J. H童法, Frank W. Blackmar.
The Law School opens up this year with an enrollment of 859-eight members a very satisfactory increase over former years. It universally appears to be gaining in popularity as its advantages become known throughout the state. It is now considered that the best place to obtain a law education is in some one of the law schools which have been established for this purpose. Proseeing over Chily & Blackstone in some dingy law office is relegated to the part. Some knowledge of principles may be gained in this manner but the application thereof, never. In order that the mind shall become sharp and active it must come in contact with other minds. The incentive to exertion is greater. Discussion establishes principles and fixes them in the memory. These advantages the student obtains in a law school. They very surely do not in a law office. The method of instruction in this school tends to draw the student out, to ascertain if he has discovered and is able to apply the principles applicable to the question under discussion. To this end discussion in the class room between teacher and student is invited and encouraged. That this method is beneficial is proven by the very marked degree of success attained by the graduates of this school.
The Junior class are now studying domestic relations, are endeavoring to master the common law relations of husband and wife having already taken up constitutional law and the law of contracts under the direction of Mr. Green. The Seniors having finished pleadings under the instruction of Mr. Summerfield, are now wrestling with the law governing real property with Mr. Gleed, in addition to their law studies. The students of this school of law are allowed to take one study in some one of the other schools. A number of the students of each class are taking political economy with Prof. Blackmar and next term propose taking a course in Roman law to be followed by a course in the Constitutional history of England with the same instructor. Others will study international law and history of the constitution with Prof. Canfield. Two moot courts are held each week. one for the Junior and one for the Senior class and are presided over by Mr. Green. Cases are given out upon an equal statement of facts which members of the class previously appointed are required to discuss from the flow of eloquence which at times comes floating out through the transom all judge these courts are entertaining if not instructive. Two of the Seniors are required to preside over the Junior courts with Mr. Green, and at the next sitting of the court to deliver a written opinion upon the case argued before them. We have not had the benefit of these opinions, but they are said to rival those of Lord Holt and Chief Justice Marshall.
and that the jurors sit in open mouthed wonder at the profundity and learning of these able jurists.
In addition to the Moot Court, the students of this school have two clubs—the Kent and Blackstone—at which various questions, legal and political, are discussed. The Kent Club has organized a "house of representatives," with a full complement of officers, at which bills are introduced and laws enacted. These clubs are managed by the students, and they appear to have their earnest support
A large addition has been made to the law library this year, and the students of this school now have a good library for practical work, and the students are well satisfied with the provisions made for them in this direction.
All in all the school is doing good work, is a credit to the University, and deserves a more liberal recognition at the hands of the State than it has heretofore received.
LIBRARY.
The University Library contains 11,926 volumes, not counting unbound pamphlets. It is now growing constantly and substantially, the funds at present at its disposal being sufficient to permit it to secure the more important new works as they appear, and to make some considerable progress in strengthening its general collection. Since the end of the last College year over seventeen hundred volumes have been added. It is thoroughly a working library, having been selected with a particular view to the needs of University students, who are required to use it constantly to supplement the work of the lecture room. It contains a very good collection of the works of the important authors of Greek, Latin, English, French and German literatures, and of those standard works that represent the most authoritative contributions to the various fields of knowledge. It has in its reading room the current numbers of two hundred periiodicals and several publications, both of a general literary and technical scientific character, and has begun to complete its sets of the most valuable of them. Thus it has now complete sets of Anglia, Englishle Studien, Herrig's Archie, and the publications of the Early English Text Society, the most important collection of materials in existence for the knowledge of the history of English language and literature.
The reading room, to which all students of the University have free access between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. on all working days of the University year, is further provided with the most useful books of reference, such as dictionaries, maps, atlases, encyclopedias, catalogues of other libraries, etc. A card-catalogue of the library by subjects is also under way, and, so far as completed, is in the reading room for the use of students.
All students are allowed to withdraw volumes from the library for use at their rooms. Members of the upper classes and those pursuing special lines of research under the direction of some member of the Faculty, are given access to the stocks where the books are kept.
But go to Smith's News Depot and look at his line of holiday goods and get his prices before making your purchases, for he has a nice line of Plush goods in Toilet Manicure and Smokers sets, Albums Work and Jewellry boxes. Besides the best line of Merschaum and Briarwood Pipes in the city. Also Cigars and Cigarette holders from 10c to $2,00 and he will make prices that none can lower for the quality of the goods.

The University Y. M. C. A.
On Sunday afternoon October 22, 1882, L. M. Powell, F. H. Clarke, M.W. Sterling, J.P.Jack, W.T. Findley, W.Y.Morgan, E.L Cowdrick, E.G.Clarke, J.F. Tucker, J.D.MLaren, F.C Clarke, F.W.Houston and E.F Caldwell, students of Kansas State University, met in the chapel of the Lawrence Methodist Episcopal church and organized a young Men's Christian Association for the University of Kansas. The following officers were elected: F.H. Clarke, president; M.W.Sterling, VicePresident; J.D.MLaren, Secretary; Corresponding Secretary, W.T.Findley; Treasurer, E.L.Cowdrick. This was the first Y.M.C.A organization in the city. At the close of each school year since that time, new officers have been elected to fill these positions.
From 1882 to 1888 the Association held its meetings part of the time in some one of the churches and the rest of the time in a hall rented for the purpose. At the beginning of the fall term of 1888, the University being lighted on every Friday evening, the place of meeting was changed from the rooms of the city association to room 11 in the main building of the University when on every Friday evening during the school year devotional meetings are held. The socials and receptions are held at the city Y.M.C.A. rooms.
The University Y. M. C. A. has never been in a more flourishing condition. There are at present sixty-five active members. The Association sent twenty-five delegates to the State Convention held at Topeka in October.
On Nov. 10 '89 Bishop Cyrus D. Foss delivered the annual address before University Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A, in the University chapel which was filled to its utmost capacity.
The Friday evenings meetings are well attended and great interest is taken in the work by the members. President Ackley is prompt in showing the various committees the work which has to be accomplished. One of the main objects of the Y.M.C. A of the University is to become acquainted with the new students as soon as possible and aid them in procuring pleasant rooms and boarding places. A committee is appointed especially for this purpose at the beginning of the school year, but any inquiries directed to the President or Secretary at any time during the year will be cheerfully answered.
Don't forget that it is at the "Blue Mortar" drug store that Celluloid Mirrors, Brushes and Combs can be purchased not in plush cases. Their fine line of Hair Brushes can not be bettered in the city The perfumes in bulk are exquisite and lasting. The most popular odors always in stock and not musty and stale.

Young Women's Christian Association.
The Young Women's Christian Association of Kansas State University was organized November 6, 1885 with thirty-five charters members. Since then we have held weekly gospel meetings. For the past year these meetings have been held on Friday evening at the University. Besides this we have in connection with the Association a Bible class meeting weekly. We hold a reception, for new students, in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association, at the beginning of each college year. This year we held a special reception, at the home of one of the members, inviting all the girls of the University. Our work has brought into a closer band of sympathy the girls who are engaged in the Masters work and some through our efforts; have been led to Christ.
Our aim is to help and encourage those who come among us as Christians and bring into our number those who know not our Saviour.
The Athletic Association.
In accordance with a plan proposed by some of the more enthusiastic supporters of athletics, all professors dismissed their classes at 12:30 last Friday, with the announcement that a grand mass meeting of all the students would be held in the chapel at that time, for the purpose of creating some systematic central organization and management of the athletic sports in general.
At the appointed hour, there was gathered in the chapel the largest body of University students that has ever been together here for a similar object. Prof. Snow took the opportunity to make some an-ouncements pertaining to the selection of studies, vacation, railroad rates, etc.
The business of the meeting was begun by the selection of M. E. Hickey as temporary chairman. Mr. Hickey appointed W. E. Curry secretary pro tem and called upon Prof. A, G. Canfield to state the object of the meeting. In response, Prof. Canfield stated that the need of united interest in general athletic sports was being more and more strongly felt; that the main trouble heretofore had been the loose and fitful way in which all work in this direction had been carried on; each special branch having organized and maintained its own society or organization, and taking no great interest in any other.
A combination of all these associations into one would greatly increase the efficiency and success of all work in this direction. A plan being already on foot for the establishment of grounds for our field sports, and the hearty co-operation of the students enlisted in the enterprise it was thought that the Board of Regents Alumni, etc., being shown that something substantial was to be accomplished might thus be induced to add their support. A committee
was appointed to draw up a plan of the association and to prepare a constitution. While the committee was absent F. H. Kellogg briefly stated the plan of organization which had been formulated and deemed most feasible and best suited to our present needs. As a member of the University Ball committee, he made a report stating the amount of the expenses and the receipts, giving the net gain. He stated that once before a University Ball had been attempted but had been a failure, and the success of this venture evinces the interest that is being taken by the students in the present movement. He also mentioned other methods for raising money, as University theatricals, entertainments, admission to games and contests, contributions by the Alumni, etc. Prof. Sterling as President of the Alumni Association followed by remarks expressive of the support to be relied on from the Alumni. Prof. Curruth spoke of the attitude of the Regents, mentioning a conversation with Vice-Chancellor Spangler and Mr. Billings, giving clear evidence of their interest and earnest co-operation.
The committee on constitution announcing themselves ready to report, Chairman R. R. Whitman presented the result of their work and the constitution was adopted as read.
The officers provided for in the constitution were elected as follows: Prof. W. H. Carruth, President; F. H. Kellogg, Secretary; Chas. Voorhis, Treasurer; Prof. A. G. Canfield, Mr. Max Winkler, and R. R. Whitman, Directors. After the selection of these officers by the general association, the members specially interested in Tennis, Base Ball, Foot Ball selected two directors respectively, being G. F. Sherman and Miss Laura Lockwood, D. E. Esterly, M.E. Hickey, W. R. Armstrong and C. S. Hall to join with the president, secretary, treasurer and the first three directors elected all constituting the executive board having general supervision and control of every thing pertaining to athletics in K. S. U.

SONG OF THE WINDMILL.
BY HAROLD BARNIS.
I am old, I am old, and my thoughts are gray;
With glancing the past and the busy day;
My sides are ribbed with the dust of ase,
My usefulness o'er on Time's great stage—
I am old—I am old.
Like a dreary sentience, here I stand
And keep my watch o'er a peaceful land;
Over the valley my gaze prolong,
Or catch the din from the city's throng—
As I list—as I list.
A time there was when my canvassed arms
Swept the wild breeze and mocked at alarms;
Sped round and round in dizzy delight,
And I launched with joy at the merry sight—
But I'm old now—I'm old.
Sweet was the labor, short the pause
As I crushed the grain in my jaws; Swet was the sound of the miller's voice,
Humming a time of his simple choice
In tones of joy.
These sounds are stilled; and the days of yore
Are gone to return to me no more;
The voice of the miller's hushed tore'er—
Past the happiness, past the core.
And I sigh—and I sigh.
Ah, long have I stood in silent pride,
Mocking the winds that dared to chide;
Lights I have seen, and tales could tell
Twout blanche the check and the soul impel
With fear with fear.
Not far back in the niche of Time,
Gloom'd this valley with blood and crime;
Murder and rapine filled the land;
Murder and death at Quantrell's hand—
Alack the day.
T terrible then was the victim's cry,
Fruitless the prison't was raised on high;
Death and destruction deftened list;
The pistol shot and the saber thrust
Conquered the day—conquered the day.
On yonder hill where the rustiling leaves
Whisper the tale of death that grieves;
On yender hill,'neath the grateful shade,
Rest the victims of Quantrell's raid—
Asleep—asleep.
Such was the past; but now I stand
And dreamily gaze o'er a happy land;
No more the notes of the war resound,
But harmony, peace and thrift abound—
Force'er—force'er.
And I still shall lift my giant arms
Athwart the sky in sun and storms;
And I let it shall fight for the past that's gone
Shall sigh for the past and the faded dawn—
In vain—in vain.
Forno more the dalying zephyr play
About my form in their wonted way;
But the might wind soughs through my tat-
tered sides
And shirles a requiem as it glides—
On its way—on its way.
ONLY ENGAGED.
A Few Words Against a Prevalent College Custom.
Reading some of the popular jokes in a funny paper not long since, I came upon one purporting to be at the expense of the college student. As nearly as I can remember, it was as follows:
Jones—Hellow, Smith I hear you are going to get married.
Smith—(A Junior at College.
No I'm engaged, that's all.
This many sound very ridiculous to most people, but it is not as ridiculous as it may seem. Before I came to the University, I attended for a short time another Kansas college not a hundred miles from Lawrence, and I saw a phase of college life that I am happy to say is not as prevalent in K. S U. as it is at my former college, and I may say at most colleges. I refer to the inference in the joke given aboeu. In most colleges there are always a number of students of both sexes whose chief delight is found in escapades of love. They are miserable if they are not engaged to somebody and if they have two or more engagements so much the better. Of course they mean no harm by it; they only wish to have some innocent fun. Nevertheless they
harm their own dignity and honor if nothing else. Affairs of the affections are too holy matters to be treated so trivially. These matters should not be entered into so lightly.
There are several instance called to my mind now of students, who have been engaged and announced their engagement to the world, who if the truth were known, entertained no idea of ever becoming man and wife. That this is so is certainly to be deplored. That it is so cannot be denied. However, as I have said things of this nature are much less frequent at K. S. U. than at most colleges. However examples of this are not wanting here. A girl here of my acquaintance is engaged to a young gentleman, and by her own confession she is acting a lie. Being on intimate terms with her, I questioned her one day about the conditions of her affections towards her affiance. I was some what startled and shocked when I heard her say, "Well you see, I am getting tolerable old now and I don't want people think about it. If I am engaged to some one they will not notice my age so much, and then it improves my chances of getting engaged to some one in earnest. If some one would come along and ask me to marry him and I wanted to do it, I could break off from my other engagement all right. Will and I understand each other."
Was this not a confession to make a girl blush with shame? Yet there sat this girl telling it to me as if were something of which to boast instead of being ashamed. I admit I blushed for her to think that one of my sex had so for lost all sense of maidenly modesty. Girls before you make light of such a matter, think well. I address this especial to the girls because it is in their power to put an end to it an it will never be ended until they set themselves against it. An engagement that is made without any expectation that it will last longer than the Senior year at most, should never be made.

TWAS NO SIN.
A Protest.
"My daughter," and his voice was stern:
"You must set this matter right;
What time did that Sophomore leave the house
Who sent in his card last night?"
"His work was pressing, father dear,
And love for it is great.
He took his leave and went his way
Before a quarter of eight."
Then a twinkle came in her bright blue eye,
And her dimples deeper grew,
"Tis surely no sin to tell him that,
For a quarter of eight is two."

The latter of these objects is undoubtedly secured by the pledge. The former is not. Any one that has been in the halls of the University knows that the spirit if not the letter of the pledge has been violated. It is true that the girls have not been asked to join any of the fraternities before the pledge expired, but that they have been rushed in every sense of the word cannot be denied.
However it is not, because the pledge, is not observed in good faith that I am opposing it, for there can be no doubt that even as it is; it is attended by some good. It is for the evil attending it that I oppose it. This evil I suppose has never suggested itself to the girls themselves. It would not have been suggested to me, had an example of it not been brought to my notice, and which I shall relate.
For several years past I have had an intimate knowledge of affairs in the University and having had a daught r enrolled among the students, I have taken especial interest in the girls. Every one that knows the girls are proud of them, for on the whole, they are as interesting and lovable class, as is to be found anywhere, and generally they are to be found on the right side of all questions that arise. However of late I have found a cause of complaint. The object of my disapproval is the "Pledge" in existence between the members of the girl's fraternities. The girls adopted this pledge in the hope that it would do away with the rushing that has alwas been so prevalent and in order to prevent a too hasty selection of members. Both of these are laudable objects, and if that were secured without any attendant evils it would certainly be a great benefit.

There is attending the University this year is a girl with whom I have long been acquainted. When she came here she scarcely knew the meaning of the word fraternity, and all would have gone well with her. But her acquaintance was cultivated by the fraternity members and every favor and attention was shown her. Until a few days before the expiration of the pledge, she had every reason to believe she would be invited to become a member of one of the fraternities. The attention that had been shown her had brought her into especial prominence and every one that knew her expected her to be asked. The 12th of December arrived; the invitations were issued; she failed to receive one. It is now that the evil of this whole matter appears. When there is a specific time at which the invitations to all the girls are to be issued, any girl that is at all eligible to a fraternity is made especially conspicuous and it is very harassing to her feelings. Under the old plan, if a girl were not asked by one of the fraternities, her feelings did not suffer so from it. There was no set time at which she would receive an invitation, but she might receive it at any time, and it

it never came no attention was called to the fact. How much a girl may suffer as is may be seen from the following letter which the girl I mentioned wrote to her mother but which I persuaded her not to send:
LAWRENCE, Kas., Dec. 12, 1880.
MY DEAR MUTTOM:
MY DEAD MOTHER
When I wrote out Sunday I little thought I could be as unhappy before the close of a week as I have been today. In my letter then, I told you about the girls' tritenances here and of my expectations. Then, you remember, I told you that I expected to receive an invitation to become a member of one of them. However, the invitations were sent out this morning, and I failed to receive one. You cannot understand how I feel about it, but it effected me so that I did not go to school this morning. All of the girls that received invitations will be the subject of congratulations, while those that did not will be objects of pity. And I can not bear to be pitied. If I could go and attract little or no attention, I would not care so much. But I will be noticed in a manner that will be very disagreeable to me. This morning all the girls that have received any attention from the various fraternities will be expected to receive invitations and if they were not received to-day it will be known that they will not receive one to-morrow. This is what makes it so hard for me to bear. If there were no appointed time at which the invitations are to be received there would be nothing thought of it when day after day passed without me receiving an invitation. Oh, how I wish I were home to have your sympathy.

When earth assms a sombre shade
And autumn brown makes people blue,
And winter dreary, long blockade
Is in the near perspeciive's view,
Then, then, all season's change defying,
The fresh his greenness keeps undying.
Smiling fondly up she gazed,
Resting o o his many arm,
Then her ruby lips were moving,
They were lips would charm

Even Saint Anne would,
And he bent his nobile head down,
Listenst e, her sweet voice to hear.
But her word w o o "Love, your necktie
