LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN. 10, 1890.
The Courrier's Military proposal is Meeting with strong Encouragement-A Voice from the South-land
With much gratification the Courier has noted the earnest support and strong encouragement that has greeted its advocacy of a military department for K. S. U. Not only has the idea won the approval of the Professors, students and citizens of Lawrence, but a kindly reception throughout the State. Nor has it stopped here; but friends of the cause and of our University, all over the land, are loyally supporting the proposed addition to Kansas education.
The Courier has already published the expressed approval of many eminent authorities, and had it the space it could add columns of kindly comment and unanswerable argument. Of all, however, that has been read or seen none gave the Courier more pleasure and gratification than the following splendid editorial, taken from the Staunton, Va., Spectator. Kindly in its tone, it is thoroughly convincing in support of its claims. With one exception we give the article in full:
It is well enough, indeed it is highly proper often, to recall the history of the past, for the benefit of the present time. The suggestion for this article arose after reading the Kansas University Courier, a weekly publication issued under the auspices of the students of the State University of Kansas, located at Lawrence, in that State. For many valuable considerations that college journal proposes that a military education shall be engrafted into the system of instructions at the State University. Reference is made to several States at this time adopting the policy recommended, and among them are several Southern States, Virginia stands out pre-eminent because our Military Institute was the first established by any of the States, founded upon the course of scientific and practical instruction taught at West Point. The fifty years of its history have been a continuous contribution to high attainments, its distinguishing graduates in war and in peace illustrating both spheres of ability and usefulness—in the field and in the prosecution of educational and other civil pursuits.
Associated with the reliance of "Citizen soldiers for a soldierless Republic," to go no further in
searching the history of this or any other county than the registers of West Point and the Virginia Military Institute, the first offspring of the National Military Academy, the force of the reasoning adopted, and that has prevailed in several of the states of the union, has given to Virginia an eminent distinction, along with the one that has been fostered by the nation.
Virginia has no standing army to which the graduates of her Institute could be assigned as commissioned officers. The annual application, however, which the records will furnish, made for the precients in the graduating classes, both as it relates to the regular and in the applied scientific schools, have called to other states scores of educators who have been instrumental in establishing state and community schools, the wisest and the best, and that reflect the greatest honors upon the Institute and the Old Commonwealth that founded it. Virginia opened the way for the emulation of the other states and they are profiting by her example.
Apart frsm the state institutions now in successful operation in several states, set to work and directed by graduates of the Virginia Military Institute, it would astonish those who have not observed to see the vast number of classical shools in Virginia and other states in which professors both in military instruction and tactics and in the classic and undercourses had been preferred and chosen from our state school.
As much as has been said of the scientific attainments and culture of those who go forth from our institutes as educators, the same can be applied to other professions and pursuits. The ministry, the legal profession, agricultural, finance, and commerce, and the specialties of the great progress of our country, have called and will continue to call talents and attainments to the front from the halls of the Virginia Military Institute
Before closing this article, we had a mind to run our thoughts over the country, and call up by name the sons of Virginia and other states, graduates of the institute, now filling prominent stations in the service of the Federal and state, and city governments as well as those on the rolls of great usefulness, but that is not called for at this sime, nor would it be appropriate without the addition of those names that sleep in death, but never will cease to live in the affections of their countrymen.
PROF. DYCHE.
The Wonderful Success of a Fearless Explorer—How "our Professor" is Adding to the Riches of the State.
Prof. Dyche is the happiest, luckiest and pluckiest fellow the COURIER ever saw. The wonderful results of his recent explorations in the north and west are enough to make the sadest man merry and the bravest, proud.
The professor has begun again the duties of his chair. His classes are delighted to have him back. Indeed, there isn't a student but extends the professor a hearty greeting, glad of his safe return and proud of his amazing success.
The last issue of the Courier sent its welcome to the homeward bound professor Hearrived early in vacation and has since been shaking hands with his countless friends, receiving their warm words of good cheer and congratulation.
The Courier found the pleasant professor in Snow Hall, surrounded by a crowd of attentive students who were listening to some story of his interesting travels. And what a charming story teller the professor is! Always kind and pleasant, he is ever ready and willing to spin his happiest yarn. After patiently waiting for the crowd to disperse, the Courier found at last an opportunity for a pleasant chat with the distinguished explorer. We are sorry our small space prevents the publishing of all the good and interesting things the professor said. The story of his travels and adventures alone would fill a volume, for that, indeed, is the most pleasant to those uninterested in the great objects of his labors.
"Yes, indeed, I did. I never had a better time, but you know I am rather partial to such adventures."
"Of course, you enjoyed your trip, Professor."
"And you are satisfied with the results of your labors?"
"Perfectly, I never was more successful and you know I have had some very lucky trips. I got a specimen of every animal I went after, but one, the caribou a very difficult animal to capture. I would have gotten that one had it not been for snow storms and forest fires. But I shall get a caribou yet, and more than one, too. I also captured scores of animals that I had no intentions of getting. They simply came in my way and I salted them. Yes, I brought
home with me the hides of over fifty different animals and there are twenty-five more to come. I feel amply repaid for all of my labors."
"And this is not your last trip, professor?"
"Oh, no! I expect to start out again in the spring. Nor will I stop until I have secured a speciman of every North American animal. I have my heart fully set upon this work and I am determined to carry it through. I believe when that time comes K. S. U. will have the finest museum of American animals in the world. Yes, I shall continue this work just as long as the people of this great state will support me in my endeavors. I believe they will. Already we have a collection to be proud of. Why, I have barrels and barrels of hides waiting to be mounted, and they will be sometime." So the Prof. talked, earnest and hopeful.
He didn't care to make public at present the names of the different specimens he had secured. You can be sure of a great surprise when he does make them known. The Courier man left Snow Hall thoroughly convinced that Prof. Dyche was doing a grand work for the University and his fellowmen. With the generous and progressive souls of the west we bid him Godspeed.
Survival of the Fittest.
The local editor of the COURIER again thanks the Kansan for its generous 'personals.' Some how or other you still continue, Mr Kansan, to be irresistably funny. Not every fellow, you know, could maintain such a high standard of new and nervy wit.
We do not pretend to deny that we are a bigger chump than Will White ever dared to be or that we are the jayest jay that ever came to K. S. U. But we do presume to know the difference between harmless newspaper repartee and a senseless newspaper "scrap."
For the sake of common courtesy and mutual respect we will not, therefore, Mr. Kansan, return the dirty real estate you so profusely bestowed upon the COURIER and its friends.

Exams, two weeks from today !!!
We hail with joy the return of Prof, Dyche one of our most popular and energetic instructors.
LA GRIIPPE is quite prevalent among the students. Spare us thou awful one until after the exams. ___
THE vacation has thoroughly demoralized our department correspondence. This feature will be renewed next week.
It strikes us that preparations for the entertainment of your guests at the State contest are now in order.
The Courier will hereafter run cuts occasionally. We offer spec.ial inducements to the merchants in the way of illustrated advertisements.
Our orators should remember that they have but a week or so in which to revise and perfect their orations. All must be handed in by the fifteenth.
The local page of the Christmas issue of our contemporary was graced with the most senseless and contemptible personal squibs that our students have ever been called udon to read.
This University of Kansas, this progressive institution of this progressive state, advancing and bettering herself as she is in almost every department, seems to have utterly lost sight of, or to have never considered the importance of a department of oratorical elocution. The instruction is as a general thing, a subordinate duty of the professors of English and is considered in most colleges as of co-ordinate importance. Its establishment is of much necessity and in the state contest of the future would make "assurance doubly sure."
Two Kansas State University papers have reached this office. One was embellished on the first page with the picture of a drunken man swinging around a lamp poast. The other was printed on Police Gazette paper and illustrated with cheap home-made cuts, intended to be humorous. The dignity and seriousness which are naturally expected in literary emanations from a great state institution are conspicuously absent. It is to be hoped for the credit of the state that none of these convivial and hilarious papers go beyond the borders. Editorship at the University seems to be given over into the hands of very fresh freshmen. Emporia Republican.
WHERE the Republican has been slumbering for the last decade we haven't the slightest idea. Undoubtedly in the tomb of Van Winkle. It shows at least an ignorance of college politics and journalism that is peculiarly startling.
We want to respectfully inform the Republican, if it hasn't the newspaper sense to see it, that the Courier is nothing more than a weekly newspaper, published by the modern students of a modern University. The Courier does not profess to be a literary journal: a sample of the literary prowess of K.S.U.Not at all.But simply and solely,a newspaper: consistent with the evolved constitution of the modern American youth and abreast with the advance of modern journalism.
If the Republican is so depressed that it must hopelessly yell "Police Gazette" every time it sees a piece of pink paper the COURIER can't see how it will ever reach the other shore. The Republican's cry for "dignity and seriousness" is enough to make the average
student forget there is such a thing. The joke is too good.
Wet hank the Republican for all intentional good advice, but the COURIER likes our modern civilization far better than the fossil prejudices and heartless severities of the past.
Don't swear off. You will only swallow a lie when you drink your next glass of beer.
New Year Don'ts.
Don't wait until next New Year to turn over a new leaf. You will never do it.
Don't make more than a thousand new resolutions for the new year. One is enough to fail on.
Don't get drunk more than three times a week during this year. It is best to do this regularly. Your wife might want to go calling.
Don't spend your money on natural gas and prize fights There is a delightful sufficiency already.
Don't take your gloves off to get your street care fare when you know your friend will settle the bill. Your hands will get cold.
For K. S. U.
Don't forget all the nice things you promised your parents you would do when you returned to the U. You should at least keep sober for a week.
Don't saddle your pony too soon. You may have to let him roll.
Don't resolve to win your grades and honors honestly. None but the most foolish do that.
Don't send home doctor's bills for la grippe. You will loose it on your papa's leg if you do.
Don't fall down more than twice while climbing the hill this winter. You are liable to kill yourself the third time.
Such is Fame.
Miss May: Say, Nell, have you you seen John Daivs? Ha! ha! he, be!
Miss Nell: No. why? My goodness ist here anything the matter; what are you laughing so hard about?

"What are the prospects for the local contest?" asked the COURIER of Mr Whitman, Secretary of the Oratorical Association.
The Coming Contact.
"Bright, indeed," responded the pleasant and energetic Secretary. "There is every indication of a splendid contest. I believe we will have one of the best we ever had."
Mr. Whitman handed the COURIER the following list of contestants: H. F. Bear, Jas. D. Bowersock, W. A. DeFord, John A. Mushrush, H. S. Hadley and Clarence H. Sears.
What do you think of the list and who do you think will win the red ribbon? It is at least a fair representation of the worth and talent of the University, and in it we can see promise of manly effort and genuine merit.
The contest will take place on the 24th, and the COURIER predicts a grand, good time.
A Merry Ride.
The old stage coach of the "Atchison and Sacramento Line" was pressed into service Saturday night by a merry party of young folks who drove to the Fredrick farm nine miles southwest of town, where they were royally entertained by the Misses Lyons.
Those who composed the party were: Misses Tisdale, Webster, Mame Lyons, McMillan, Pennabaker, Laura Lyons, Harrison and Hadley, and Messrs. Lewis, Fox, Voorhis, Deford, Allen, Horton, Fox and Poehler.
Theu Still Live.
The literary feast will be rather slim on the hill to-night. Orophilian and Athaeeneum both refuse to gather at the board. Adelphic and the Seminary will eat alone this evening.
Adelphic has an interesting program, including a debate on the revenue question.
The Seminary as usual presents an admirable program. Profs. Gleed and Blackmar are not the least among those who will afford a part of the evening's entertainment. So you see there is still an inducement to climb the hill tonight.
You Are Welcome.
The Y. M. C. A. meeting tonight will be exceptionally interesting. Messrs. Brummit, Powell and Chandler of Baker University, will lead the services. They are gentlemen of ability and something good can be expected. A splendid musical and literary program has also been prepared. All are cordially invited to attend. The students in particular are urged to come. The meetings are for them and every one will find a hearty welcome.
Consider.
'President Whitman, will Orophilian hold a meeting to night?'
"No, I think not."
Strange!
"Acting President Sears, will Athaenum hold a meeting tonight?"
"No, I believe not." Oueer!
"Mr. Craig. will the Adelphic hold a meeting to-night?"
"Yes, sir, and a very interesting one, too."
Good!
Were You There?
Did you attend the meeting of the Athletic Association held in the chapel this morning? If you didn't, why didn't you? Sick? Nothing else should have prevented you.
Every student who wants to see the success of an enterprise that is bound to work incalculable good for the University, knows what that meeting did.
Register!
There will be a meeting of the Oratorical associatian on the 31st. of this month and all those who register between that time and this will have a right to vote for the higher officers. A privalige gained so easily should not be neglected. A word to the wise is enough.
Chas. Chanute an old K. S. U. boy and member of Phi Gamma Delta dropped in on his brethern on his way from Chicago to Denver, Col., Monday. In spite of inclement weather, Thos. James, and others, after supper, gave notice and rustled a hop in honor of their visitor. Mr. Chanute left Tuesday for his home in Denver, where he is extensively engaged in the smelting business.

Stories worth reading are the ones that have the mos sensational features about them, and the degree of interest manifested in them should always be weighed by the quantity and quality behind them. Now should you hear that some poor miserable soul who should be pleading for mercy should, during his delirium say that BAYLESS had made the I. C. G. goods an antidote for such persons--suffering from the effect of too long use of their own goods, should at once repair to the headquarters of the old

Notwithstanding the fact that the soft, balmy days of Indian summer linger long in the lap of winter, our trade this season is by far the largest we have ever done since our store was established. December, with our low prices and best goods on earth, has been so far a month in our business of which we feel proud. Weather cuts no figure with our sales; be it warm or cold, we sell goods just the same. It has grown to be a common everyday expression that if you want something that is just right, an article that is better than you can find anywhere else, go to Morgan's for it; there you'll also find prices the lowest. It's generally known far and near that we make a specialty of selling good goods cheap. Just the reason why so many pass other stores by to trade with us.

A GYM.
For K. S. U. is the Fondest Hope of Prof. Winkler-His Plans and Opinions on an Interesting Subject.
Among all of the friends of the Athletic Association there is none more earnest or enthusiastic than Prof. Max Winkler. He is heart and soul for the success of the new organization. A gentleman of very extraordinary intellect, he is giving the Association the benefit of a splendid experience and an exceptional judgment. His sensible plans and hopeful nature is filling everybody with an inspiration for hard and continued labor.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN. 17, 1890.
There need not be the slightest fear as to the future success of the Association when such men as Prof's Winkler, Canfield and Carruth are giving it their earnest support and attention. In a pleasant interview with Prof. Winkler the Courier jotted down, among other things, the following:
"I believe the first thing that should be done should be the arrangement of suitable grounds. This is the present aim of the Board and we hope by spring to bring our efforts to a successful termination. With our grounds in order I believe there will be nothing to prevent the happiest success for the Association. We have committees on solicitations already at work and we have hopes of securing $700 or $800. I believe the Faculty alone will give something near a $100. And then we have reasons to believe that the Board of Regents will extend us a helping hand."
"You see what we want to do" and here a new light danced in the Professors bright eyes and he became as interesting as his subject. "You see, we must first fix our grounds, then organize and get our different clubs to work; that will stir up enthusiasm and college spirit. All this will be sure to attract the attention of the outside world, and create a strong and general interest and sympathy in our behalf. We will then get the eye of the Regents and that is exactly what we want. If we once win their sympathy and attention, we have every reason to believe that something interesting will result. What I mean is we will then have hopes of a Gymnasium. Our Association now is nothing less than a
neucles for a future gymnasium; our present efforts only made with that great object in view.
The present prospects are decidedly promising, and I earnestly believe that all we hope for will be fully realized."
What can be more cheerful and sensible than these plans? And what more gratifying than to know that such men as Prof. Winkler stand ready to make and to execute them.
The COURIER heartily welcomes the realization of efforts that are to add so bountifully to the good of the University.
Fearless Fred.
"You leave for South America before long, do you not, Mr. Funston?" asked the COURIER of that pleasant gentleman not long since.
"Yes, shortly after the close of this term."
"How long do you intend to stay, and what have you in view"? was the next very modest (?) question.
"Well, it is pretty hard to tell how long I will stay. That will depend a great deal upon circumstances and the course of events. And what have I in view? Well, nothing more than what will turn up. My visit you know is one of pleasure, business and adventure, and should I find any of these things in anything like agreeable quantities, there is no telling when I shall return. I want to see the world and I propose to go if I am compelled to rest a part of my happiness on luck."
And as Fred stopped the COURIER wished him an immeasurable amount of it. We also proceeded to the conclusion that fellows as determined and fearless as Fred are not as numerous as they might be.
Every lover of "sweet sounds" should by all means attend the entertainment of the Howard Quartette given at the Opera House to-morrow evening.
Don't Fail to Hear Them.
It is enough to know that the quartette is from Harvard. This is an assurance of a delightful performance. Anything from Harvard always bears her famous seal of worth and talent. You can be certain that this quartette is an honor to itself and the great institution whose name it bears.

Something of Interest to the Rushed and the Rusher-To the Frat. and the Barb.
In last Saturday's Journal there appeared a double column article on college fraternities. It speaks at length on the divers forms of initiation, and gives many that would bear a fair comparison with the horrifying deformities of the late Rou Kappa Tau. A just and sensible partiality is shown the fraternities while there is seen through it all the happy scenes of a happy college life. We give below a few selections from what is a very delectable article: "The college secret society has become a great and powerful factor in American society. The writer has seen old men who, at the most, had but a few years to live, come back to the annual college society reunions, and with tears in their eyes and voices trembling, tell that they owed their success in life to the influence a'd training of their college society life, and that the truest friends were those first met within the charmed circle of the college club. They were men whose mark in life had been made; whose word was truth itself. It must have beer a great power that would drag them back, year after year to testify to the worth of college secret societies.
A boy's life begins as soon as he has declared his intention to enter any particular college. If his head is level he will make the best of that happy time. He is the object of the concentrated attention of all the various fraternities in that college. It is a dead struggle between them as to which will capture the prize. They flatter him, ingeniously feed his vanity, and make him think that he is about the biggest and best fellow alive. Suppers, with perhaps little wicked bottles of wine, flood in upon him faster than he can handle them. Nothing is too good for him. If he has a sister she comes in for her share of the fun, too. She goes to the theatre more times in a week than she usually gets opportunities to in a month. There's where the "rushers," as the society men who engineer this little game are called, show the largeness of their heads.
About this time we take it for granted that the youth has been "pledged." If he is particularly observing he will perhaps notice that, although the men of the society of which he is to be a star green continue to be very pleasant and polite, they do not tumble over each other in their neck-breaking efforts to afford him entertainment as before. They are sure of him now. He is left to entertain himself for many
hours that before were filled with engagements for suppers and theater parties.
From this period on till his initiation his mind is skillfully played upon by his future compatriots till he is about ready to go home. Hints of the darkest type are dropped in his hearing, a reckless disregard of human life is gloomily expressed in a stage "aside," the condition of the rack and the thumbscrews is casually commented upon, so that to a retiring and uncombatative freshman the whole atmosphere of anticipation seems tinged with a terrible red.
College life isn't the real article unless a man belongs to a first class society. The terrors of the initiation are but transitory, while the benefits derived from the associations and friendships of fraternity life are last ing.
Why Not ?
Nc.17.
There is at present some talk among many of the frat. men of giving a grand reception and University ball in honor of the delegates and visitors to the forthcoming Oratorical contest. Such talk bears the proper stamp, and the COURIER believes that nothing could be more clever. We must remember the entertainment we owe the honored guests of the occasion K. S. U. should maintain her enviable reputation for unstinted hospitality. Nothing could afford more pleasant entertainment than a well-managed ball. The U has already proved her wonderful skill at this business. What could have been more pleasant or successful than the University ball? If the glory of that event can not be eclipsed, it certainly can be equaled.
This question deserves immediate attention, and the COURIER urges that something be done at once. A meeting should be held, committees appointed and set to work. There is no time to lose. Whatever is done should be done well; and a ball if any, should be worthy the ability of its friends and the honor of the U.

We want to call the attention of the students to the pleasant and edifying entertainments given by the Unity Club every Monday evening. The most pertinent questions before the world are ably and fully discussed and studied. No evening could be more pleasantly spent than at one of these meetings. A student at least could never spend his evenings more profitably.
Would it not be the proper caper for the Grand Mogul of the "O. A S. K. S. W.," to make public the arrangements contemplated for the entertainment of our guests during the contest.
ELSE where in this issue will be found Prof. Dunlap's decided opinion on the good of literary societies We believe them to be logical, sound and undeniably correct They should be carefully considered by every student of the University.
Something certainly should be done to revolutionize our literary societies. If nothing else can be done we believe that Orophilian and Atheneum should be amicably united. Should this plan prove impossible and should these two societies continue inactive, then a new society should at once be organized.
We hope that the next term will record something of interest for the literary societies of K. S. U.
THERE is a disposition on the part of some interested in the coming oratorical struggle to complain of the manner in which the victor is decided upon. Their objections are based upon the fact that the three judges upon compositions and thought also decide upon delivery. Suppose a man were greatly pleased with one of the orations snbmitted to him and ranked it far above others, would he not, naturally enough, be prodjudiced when it came to judging of elocutionary merits. It is customary in most instances, we believe, to have two sets of judges in order to escape this difficulty, and the custom might be instituted very advantageously, although up to this time there has never been just cause for complaint at the decision in our local contests. We offer the suggestion for what it is worth.
The number of absences during the past week has been far in excess of that of any previous week this term. We cannot but notice the many vacant places in the classrooms with grave apprehensions as to the outcome of the semi-annual examinations. These always cause gloomy forbodings on the part of delinquents but to the victims of "la grippe," many of whom have been rendered wholly unfit for work for the past two weeks, the outlook is simply appalling. The brief period for review which most of us are now availing ourselves of
is always of an incalculable value, and we hope that the faculty will be disposed to deal leniently with those who are deprived of this advantage by the epidemic now prevailing in the city.
ALTHOUGH the subscription paper which is being circulated in the interest of the Athletic Association is being quite freely signed, there are some who seem to consider the circulators as nuisances which should be abated forthwith. If these persons will think a moment they will see that the men who have taken hold of this enterprise are actuated by any other than selfish motives and deserve the most liberal patronage on the part of those sincerely interested in the welfare of this institution. Put yourself down for all you can spare when the paper is handed to you and rest assured that any investment you may make in this line will pay handsome dividends hereafter in the shape of physical culture and development. For the sake of all that is fair and equitable, you who have never done anything for it, advancement of the general in rests of the students since you appeared upon these scenes; who, following the well worn, moss-grown tactics of your fathers, would be content to sit calmly down amid your present surroundings and give no further thought to improvement in any line, if you wont open your pocket books, be charitable enough at least to keep your mouths shut and cease disparaging others who have acquired popularity and esteem by the spirit and enterprise which they have exhibited.
The Unity Club.
At the last meeting of the Unity Club, Col. Moore read his paper on Francis Bacon. It was an earnest plea in behalf of a man whom the Col. loves with all his heart.
He sought to defend him from the onslaught made upon him by Macaulay. He called his adversary the midnight assassin of of Bacon's memory and name. He then proceeded to prove it -tq prove that Macaulay was the calossal liar of the nineteenth century, that Bacon though the brightest was not the meanest man of his age
At the next meeting Prof. Arthur Canfield will read his excellent paper on "The Practical Value of Literature."
In the minds of many he effectually did so.
SOLID SENSE.
Prof Dunlap's Many Support of a Good Cause - Why he is a Friend of the Literary Societies.
Prof. Dunlap is an enthusiast—not a self-deluded one, not much—but an earnest, persistent and indefatigable one, if you please. Whatever he does or says is said or done with his whole might and heart, and soul, and body There isn't the slightest indication of it. He believes in being honest in everything. Whatever is good and true he does not hesitate to indorse; more than that, he follows and applauds it.
Then to this enthusiasm he couples a ceaseless industry and a remarkable ability.
It is a pleasure to listen to such a man. We are conscious that what he say is worth hearing, and that the time spent is not wasted.
Prof. Dunlap is therefore wonderfully popular with the students. They like and admire him, his good sense and generous enthusiasm. His sterling efforts are creating a wonderful interest and love for research and labor among the pupils of his department.
The Professor is not precipitous in expressing an opinion, but when he sees a worthy cause he is always prompt in giving it his mind and support.
That was the case the other day when the question of literary societies was brought up for discussion by the Freshmen of his class.
The Professor is an earnest friend of these organizations. He has grown up in and among them. He knows thoroughly what they are, and his story bears the color of experience.
Oh, ye decayed-and-tumbled-down society-men! Ye should have heard him. It would have done your dear old bodies good. Anong the sensible things that the Professor said, the COURIER gathered the following:
"I believe these literary societies are as necessary to a man's complete literary education as his text books. They give one a training that can not be gotten anywhere else, and without it a student goes out into the world minus a very useful and practical knowledge.
I am surprised that] the students of this University do not take a deeper interest in this kind of work. They certainly do not know what they are losing. The ability to write and speak well and understandly, is needed in every walk of life. The man who can make a speech or write a discourse when called upon will be the successful man in life. This ability can not be better acquired than in the training found in good literary societies. I know it can be
secured by experience through life, but let me tell you it will be a sad experience. Now is the time to prepare yourselves. Some of you, no doubt, are to become politicians, lawyers, preachers or statesmen. If so, nothing will help you so much as as a sound knowledge of oratory and composition. It is that that wins to-day."
About here a very delightful conversation was had upon the present condition of the literary societies of K. S. U. The Professor was surprised and grieved to find the societies in such a deplorable state of inanimation. He couldn't make it out, but this he said:
If your societies here are weak and useless it is your own fault and no one's else. It is you who must make the societies beneficial and successful. And it is upon you Freshmen in particular, that this responsibility rests. It is the Freshmen who put new life and vigor into these organizations. The higher men have had their experience in them, and they are getting tired of the work. It is the Freshmen who come in to fill up the ranks and carry forward the good work. And it is well that this is so, for it is the Freshman who need it the most. I want to empress this fact strongly upon your minds that it is the Freshman who must keep the societies interesting and alive. I hope you will consider this matter carefully. I am sure it is worth it. I earnestly believe it is a subject of vast and great importance, and I am glad of the opportunity to speak to you about it.
For my part I would not throw away the training I got in literary societies for anything else I know. I am positive I was benefited by them and I believe you would be also. Again I ask you to think about this question."
And so does the COURIER ask every student of the University to do likewise; to read carefully the good hard sense above and then ask yourself what ought to be done.
That the U. needs a revolution in this matter, there isn't the slightest doubt. The present condition of her literary societies is pitiful—disgraceful—shameful Can't something be done? Are all the energetic and ambitious students asleep? Has self pride and respect and esteem all flown from the halls of K. S. U?
If Orophilian and Athæneum cannot live separately why do they not join hands and pull together and get out of the mud they are in? If Orophilian and Athæneum won't do anything and will persist in snoozing and grunting and grooming why can't a brand new society be organized big enough and liberal enough for all the students of the University?
Why in the name of common sense can't somebody do something?

Stories worth reading are the ones that have the most sensational features about them, and the degree of interest manifested in them should always be weighed by the quantity and quality behind them.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.

VOL. VIII.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN.24,1890.
BEAR AND VICTORY!
A Furious Struggle for Oratorical Supremacy - How all Fought and Forced the Mush-rush is Hard Proressed For Second.
Bear is the man! K. S. U, is proud of him! Three cheers for Bear.
The struggle is over and the victory is won. A harder fought battle were never waged: more gallant blows was never struck. Every man fought and swung his broad-sword like an Ajix.
A few are dissappointed—more are happy. Some hopes have been dashed to pieces—many have blossomed into garlands of joy.
University Hall was comfortably filled last night when Chairman Hickey took charge of Seventh Annual Contest of the Oratorical Association of K. S. U. With his pleasant introduction the Mandolin Club composed of Messrs, Collins, Crew, Swope and Duncan admirably opened the evening's entertainment. Then Dr. Marvin followed in a characteristic invocation, full of hope, praise and loyalty for the University.
Amid the profoundest silence and expectancy the first speaker, Jus. D. Bowersock, began his onation on "Some American Philosophy;" one that was carefully written and admirably delivered. It was indeed an oration of excellent and judiciously selected thought—beautifully and eloquently expressed.
Pleasant in appearance, Mr. B.J.'s delivery was calm but forcible; yet there was that similarity and uncoathness about it which showed the wait of proper training. Mr. Bowersock made a happy impression on the audience and closed amid loud applause.
Mr. A. L. Burney, of Harrisonville, Mo., honored again the time-honored subject, "Benedict Arnold." Coupled with a remarkably fine presence, his was a delivery above the average. But the oration lacked that originality and breadth of thought which wins wherever made, yet his effort has added another admirable verdict to the infamous guilt of a traitor.
Mr. C. S. Hall, of Bogard, Mo,
anxiously and forcibly asked and
answered the question, "Are we
One?"—"We" meaning the American Union. Though Mr. Hall had
the burden of a time-worn and
thread-bare subject, yet he handled it in a very agreeable manner. A good but not cultivated voice redeemed an awkward and strained delivery. There is a pleasant promise for Mr. Hall.
Mr. John A. Mushrash spoke on "John Quincy Adams and the Right of Petition." Mr. M. showed the case and consideration of an experienced speaker. To a good oration
he gave a better delivery, though that was hampered by a miserably managed voice.
Mr. W. W. Russ vainly attempted to picture "A Nation's Danger" Though earnest, Mr. R. deplorably lacked in both voice and delivery.
Up to this time opinion was divided as to who stood first — some voted for Bowersock, others for Burney and Mushrush. The division was entirely dispelled by the next speaker.
Mr. H. F. M. Bear, of Paola, delighted the audience with his splendid oration on "The Growth of Government." For striking originality, happy and logical arrangement, clear and faultless pronunciation and natural graceful delivery Mr. Bear fairly and undeniably won the laurels of the battle. The audience appreciated his masterly effort and interrupted it with generous applause. When Mr. Bear closed there was no doubt where the honor lay.
While waiting for the decision of the judges Mr. Dan Crew and the Mandolin Club entertained the anxious audience.
The decision of the judges placed Mr. Bear first and Mr. Mushrush second. The result was greeted with thunderous applause and deafening shouts.
The COURIER shouts too, and extends a hearty congratulation to the gallant winner.
With Mr. Bear as our leader, K.
S·U. goes proudly and fearlessly to the struggle in February. Mr.
Bear will lead and every student who envisies the "glory" of his state will bravely follow to fight and defend.
Rock-chalk, Jay-hawk, K. U!
The New Catalogue.
The new catalogue is out full of pleasant and gratifying information It shows for the University a condition of things far more encouraging than ever before
The increased enrollment is the most remarkable fact. The U now numbers 508 students. This marks more than anything else the popularity, success and worth of K. S. U.
The new catalogue is complete with facts, figures and interesting information The descriptive parts are particularly good.
Cogitations and Reflections.
With a faculty of 33 talented professors and an enrollment of 508 earnest students, K. S. U. is fast becoming an institution of distinguished merit and power.
The examination schedule posted in the Hall last Wednesday received the undivided attention of the students for several hours. As one of the Profs remarked, 'tis simply the announcement of a death or so.
Wall, Bill, yer gettin mighty fly Up thar at K. S. U.
BY JERMIAH ISREALUTE PUNKINHEAD.
Thar h'aint no sorter use, I say,
To do the things ver do.
Now fust, hear yer shootin off On that association;
Say what good dell gymnasticka du?
It does just beat the nation
How you want to spend your time,
Which should be put on books,
On foot-ball and such foolishness;
I tell yer, Bill, it looks
As though I'd hefter bring yer home
An tieyer to the farm
If yer so bent on strengthen up The muscles on yer arm.
Keep yer nose in yer books, my boy,
That's where the larnin is;
I'm willin yer shud go ter skule To get yer larnin pat,
Ye've got no time fer foolishness In such an age as this.
An jump; I kick on that
Now, I think them Profs, up that Are mighty known men;
But when they'be begin to talk about
Them Athletics, Why then
I really think we tax payers Are hound to call a stop
I really think we tax payers Are bound to call a stop.
Let 'em give you fellows book lainin
And be such good deeds.
Just study, study all the time An'larn ver lessons well.
But speakin of them gymnasticks
I have just this tert tell
That skule was never made tern teach
Lawn tennis nor base ball :
Just let yer addication drop
Or else them things, that's all.
That Bell.
Professor Green was serious!; "alarmed" last Thursday.
When the Professor becomes interested in his subject it is his custom to lengthen his recitation hours to an amazing extent. This would not be half so bad did he not infringe upon the dinner hour. So thought a pack of hungry Senior Laws; they determined to enter a protest and enjoin the aforesaid Professor. But how? after vainly consulting every known authority and precedent, they wrung loose from their conservatism and struck ablow forliberty.
An alarm clock placed on the Prof's desk was secured and set to go off promptly at 12 o'clock. The recitation began. Jim talked and the clock ticked, ticked, ticked! The hour was never longer. The law and Jim were never more tedious. Slowly 11:30 came; then 11:45; then the laws got restless—and hungry. At last both pointers come square on the meridian. Rattle-la-bang-slam-wang-ding-dong!! The class was dismissed at 12 o'clock and the hungry laws went home to chew,
Prof. Carruth delivered a sermon at the Unity church in Topeka last Sunday. As usual he pleased and edified his hearers.

A Sensible Move.
"Ifye havetevars prepare to steed them now." Athaeneum and Orophilian are dead! dead! dead! Oh ye tears! What were once the pride of Mt. Oread are no more! Sad the thought! They have kicked the milk pail and turned their pedal appendages to the daisies! The daisies weep and the milk pail leaks.
Amid the proudest monuments of their own glory they fell,—fell to "kick" no more. And what a fall was there, my countrymen. Then you and I and all of us fell down and got up again!
But to business After vainly waiting for Orophilian and Atheneum to demonstrate that they were in existence, a sensible movement has been at last begun to organize a new literary society. Presidents Whitman and Sears of the two defunct societies are the moving spirits that are bringing about the long looked for change. Thier plans are eminently sensible.
They are securing the names of all those who favor the organization, with the promise that they will give it their support and accept and perform all the duties of the same. They are meeting with pleasant success. The names already secured promises a splendid society for K. S. U; nor can it be otherwise, when those who form it are willing and ready to do their part of the work.
This new spirit bespeaks a pleasant future for the honor and good of K. S. U. The COURIER is glad to see it, and what loyal and earnest student is not.
The new society will be organized immediately at the beginning of the next term. Here is a wish for the boundless success and the everlasting life of the new society.

THE COURIER is one day late. A desire to publish a full report of the Contest is the cause.
BEAR is the winner and the COURIER is proud of his brilliant effort and merited victory. And on the threshold of a coming struggle we couple tp the shout of "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk K. U.," "Bear and Victory."
THERE is a scheme on foot to give another University ball sometime during the week of the contest, the proceeds to go to the Athletic association. No more appropriate time could be chosen provided arrangements can be made so that the two entertainments will not conflict.
Sign the pledge.
IT is reported that one of the young ladies' greek letter societies will contribute forty dollars toward the gymnasium enterprise.
IF Bro. John and his deciples will not palm off any more opera companies and secure more entertainments of the Harvard Quartette style, their success is assured.
THERE is quite a breeze among the girls over the effort of each frat to out do its rivals in the matter of donations.
The gents had better take a hand in the controversy if they hope to sustain their reputations. It seems that fraternity strife may be productive of some good after all.
It is seldom that students forget the consideration and respect due the members of the faculty personally or acting in their official capacity; all are fully aware of the importance of upholding the authority invested in the officials placed in charge of them; but certainly the expression of honest opinions at variance with those of such officials is no breach of discipline and to so consider such action, either indicates such undue stubbornness and such lack of ability to discriminate justly between insubordination and reasonable opposition as to render an official unit for the administration of punishment of any kind, or it shows that the institution in question has not kept pace with the march of progress but insists on adhering to those backwoods principles of discipline such as have long ago been discarded by first class colleges. The mission of the college journal is to make known the wants of the students, to voice their sentiments, and to further their interests in all ways: when the privilege of doing so is denied, the utility of such publications ceases.
IF the action of the faculty of Grant University in expelling a college editor for the publication of opinions contrary to those entertained by the faculty, be any indication of the spirit and enterprise of that institution in the general management of affairs, the students certainly deserve the sympathy and support of their more fortunate contemporaries in resisting such arbitrary conduct.
It may be prejudice, but we think that we can detect a slight falling off in the advertising columns of our cotemporary. This is rather surprising for it would be reasonable to suppose that the loss recently sustained by what seems to be the ruling faction in the concern, would stimulate them to the exertion of their energies in this direction.
The college press should raise such a howl as will startle the old mossbacks from the legurthy in which they seem to have lain dormant for so many years and bring them to the realization of the fact that the time has long since passed when college journalists are expected to scrape and bow in object humiliation at a hint from the powers that be.
AGAIN we call the attention of the Faculty to the number of books that have been recently stolen. It is certainly very strange that a student cannot leave his property for a short time without having it 'turn up missing.' It is exceedingly queer, to say the least. One student had four books taken last Wednesday, and judging from similar cases of depredation it is high time some action was taken. Perhaps the Faculty can suggest some preventative. Possibly.
THE thoughts of all the students are now centered about the term examination in which extraordinary interest is being manifested.
It might be in order for one who sees the error of his ways, to remark for the benefit of those who are now passing their days and nights in close communion with their books, that a little more appreciation and attention to business during the coming term will insure them a happy issue from the dangers of June without such laoored efforts as they are now making.
THE faculty of Wooster University have issued an edict against dancing. While much may be said in favor of allowing the student to cultivate social graces in this popular pastime there is no doubt that many of those who fail during the college year owe their dawnfall to over indulgence in this and kindred amusements.
We are not prepared to discuss the moral question which comes into consideration here in dealing with this evil but it seems more in accordance with the principles of the university system, of which personal freedom of the student is one of the distinguishing charities, that the boys should be allowed to use their own discretion in such matters.
THE boys who live at a distance and are compelled to drive to school complain that they have no adequate shelter for their horses this cold weather.
A certain professor justly remarks that the facility with which some students account for their absences is acquired only by constant practice in the art.
BUT one of the literary societies will carry out their program this week. The old girls might add something to their laurels by exhibiting some of the energy and enterprise so characteristic of their younger sister, who by the way is quite a buxom maid for her years.
The Professors Opinions.
If any one is weary of the COURIER's continuous soliloquies on the needs and failures of K. S. U, we mildly advise that he pay his subscription and stop the paper. Wearied or not weared, the COURIER intends to keep kicking as long as there is anything to kick at. When we see thrt the University would be strengthened and benefited by the adoption of certain plans, we purpose to present and support such plans until they are adopted. As long as K. S. U, is in need the COURIER shall endeavor to keep awake.
For the last four months there has been one endless and unholy harping on Literary Societies, Athletic clubs, Base Ball clubs, Boat clubs and Glee clubs. Gentle reader, prayeth thee, do not get angry, but there is more to come. We are vain enough to believe that all of this harping has not been in vain. Many of the things sought and fought for have come and are coming. Athletics have taken such a splendid start that a gymnasium for K. S. is among the possibilities of the future. We are soon to have a literary society that will eclipse anything of the kind ever born on Mt. Oread.
There is yet one thing above a many that K. S. U. is still needing: and that is a student's Glee Club. One that would distinguish the students aud honor the institution can be easily and thoroughly organized. It must be organized.
Prof. Hopkins is an earnest admirer of music—almost an enthusiast. He is in fact an excellent performer and an accomplished student of the heavenly art. Certain that such a thing as a Glee club would interest the Professor, the COURIER presented the idea to him. The "idea"- for that matter- received a hearty welcome and in a pleasant conversation the Professor said something like this:
"Yes, sir, I think a Glee Club for the University would be exceedingly pleasant, indeed. You know, I am very fond of music and anything of this kind always meets my hearty approval, if not support."
"What plan, Professor, do you suggest for the organization of a Glee Club?" asked the reporter. "Well, there is several. You might call for an informal meeting of all those who would join such a club and then organize. But."
perhaps, the best way would be for eight or twelve persons, who are acquainted and know each others musical abilities, to organize a club. They can then increase their membership as they like, requiring of each new member a certain knowledge of music. Indeed no club would be a success if it contained members of inability, those with poor voices and small knowledge of music."
These sensible plans of organization are certain of success if once adopted. Why can't a half dozen of lively students adopt them—give the band-wagon a start, as it were. A glee club is certain of a warm reception throughout the University. Try it.
Hon. J. F. Billings, of Clay Center, has resigned his regentship of the University. Mr. Billings has always been an earnest and tireless friend of all educational institutions; particularly has he been true and faithful to K. S. U. His retirement is a loss that is sorely regretted. Mr. B. goes to Colorado to engage in business, where the COURIER unites with his countless friends in wishing him success and happiness.
Again we rise to ask, why in the name of common sense can't somebody do something?
Who will take his chair is a question of no little importance. Indeed the position just at present is peculiarly responsible, for with it comes a vote for our new chancellor. Or course the Legislature will be exceedingly careful that the new Regent be a Protectionist from a way back. If he isn't there is a possible chance that he might admire the Hon. James H. Canfield.
All persons interested in the late Brother Macgin T, are invited to leave one dollar or less with Raymond & Dick towards defraying the funeral expenses. Very fine perfumes and toilet powders as well as the "grippe Remedies" exchanged for donations.

r COURRIER:
EDITOR COURIER:
The Tri Delts or Delta Gammas, whichever the new girls fraternity is, offer, as a special inducement to the girls they wish, the friendship of the Sigma Nus. This is certainly an inducement. University Kansan.
When this item met my eye, I thought "how low the had the mighty fallen" This ungentlemanly attack upon the unknown members of a ladies' supposed fraternity made my heart sick, for I had supposed that in an institution like our State University, where we send our sons and daughters to become cultured men and women, there could not exist anything so despicable as the spirit animating this item.
To-day in looking over the December Arrow I found the following:
One of the events which will be longest remembered in the history of our chapter was the invitation extended to us by Zeta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta, to meet them in their chapter hall, October 11th, as they had important business to communicate to our chapter in joint session. Of course we all went. President Trott, after a few words of greeting, introduced Mr. S. D. Harsh as the speaker of the day. Mr. Harsh spoke in glowing terms of the regard the Phi boys have always had for the P Phi girls, both individually and collectively, but said that owing to their modesty and bashfulness they had decided to express their appreciation of us in form of a letter which he handed our I. R. Our laughter was hushed when we saw that he letter contained mostly figures, and something like a tear sparkled in each eye. Our I. R. thanked them in behalf of the girls, and we quickly retired. Upon reading the letter we found that it contained $75.00, a gift from active and former members of Illinois Zeta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta.
The Phi boys have always been our loyal friends, and have never neglected an opportunity of proving their friendship. Words are inadequate to express our feelings, but I am sure the boys know that we appreciate their generosity and kindness of heart.
Now what does the Kansan think of this? Will it be called a startling exception? I believe not. For strong and pleasant friendships are no uncommon thing among the girls and boys fraternities of the same institution. Nor can I see any sensible reason why such relations should not
exist; and I am glad to count our own K. S. U. as a happy proof of this opinion. Why, then should the new girls fraternity be sneeringly taunted with the friendship of Sigma Nu,
Does the mere name of a fraternity make or mark a gentleman? Do not the students of K. S. U. meet upon an equality? Is there any aristocracy among those whom the state is educating, save it be the aristocracy of intellect? Have not all the students of K. S. U. the instinctive parts of manhood and womenhood, and can we treat them any other way than as ladies and gentleman?
Surely this attack neither "hurts him nor profits you a jot." I believe it is a blow to every student's standard of honor and justice.
Very Sincerely.

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A RIDE JUMP ON! WE ARE GOING TO THE I. C. G. STORE.
We heard that they wanted money We wanted goods, and seeing that peculiar twinkle in Bayless' eye, we knew that something was going to turn up Now here are facts: We find by his own words that they have too much for the inner man, and judging by the effect their goods have on themselves we had better while cheap get on the outside of some ourselves.
Can't remember that we ever bought goods so low! It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give proof by making prices. You remember when we were on the car of overhearing one person whisper in the ear of a friend that they always went to the I. C. G. STORE to get prices even if they did buy of some one on credit, for then they would not have to pay them too much on any goods in their line. So, thinking the matter all over and knowing how hard my poor husband had to work to keep up the table and clothe himself and family, I made a new resolve on January 1, 1890, that instead of his always having that troubled look on his face we would meet him with a smile when he returned home after a day's work and show him how much ready cash we had saved by trading at the
Indiana Cash Grocery.

Notwithstanding the fact that the soft, balmy days of Indian summer linger long in the lap of winter, our trade this season is by far the largest we have ever done since our store was established. December, with our low prices and best goods on earth, has been so far a month in our business of which we feel proud. Weather cuts no figure with our sales; be it warm or cold, we sell goods just the same. It has grown to be a common everyday expression that if you want something that is just right, an article that is better than you can find anywhere else, go to Morgan's for it; there you'll al-o flad prices the lowest. It's generally known far and near that we make a speciality of selling good goods cheap. Just the reason why so many pass other stores by to trade with us.
Our Children's Department is the home of Nice Suits and Overcoats for Boys, both big and little, that are good to wear at popular prices
We have about 800 more of those Chinchilla, Kersey and Melton Overcoats at $15. Every coat among them is worth $25 and some more. If coats we see in other windows marked $15 are worth it then ours are worth $30. Compare them closely and you will say the same thing.

VOL. VIII.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN. 31, 1890.
"We Beg Pardon!"
Whether the American people have suffered more from the monster Grippe than from the pointless and hilarious wit it has produced is a matter of grave doubt. At least this "latest thing" is becoming decidedly "chestnut." But we are sure the COURIER will be pardoned for the publication of the following, clipped from the Chicago Grover. We know of nothing that has been quite so good as this:—
La Grippe.
But most every one is either talking about it, indulging in it, or getting ready to go to bed with it, and that is the way I came to mention it. And then I have been there—and in fact am still there! It's really quite the thing to have it. In fact you can't shake it. It is one of those unwelcome guests that comes right in without an invitation. Yes, yes, it gets there.
I left my office in company with this Russian emigrant with the avowed purpose of going home on Wednesday, the 18th I took the Brooklyn Bridge train in regular order, and paid one fare. I thought to myself: "That's the way I'll shake this Russian, I won't pay his fare." But when I got into the five o'clock bridge jam and found myself on the train, my Russian friend was there too. I said: "You'd better go back to Castle Garden; I think you have forgotten your grip." But he only grinned, showed his teeth, and gave me a shock of his grip. The pains run up and down my back, there was a heavy dnll aching at the base of the brain, my chest felt compressed, my eyes watered and I felt like——. When I entered my bachelor den I opened the door only wide enough for one but two got in, and the second party was the Russian emigrant. I saw it was of no use so I said: "Certainly, come right in, make yourself perfectly at home. Here are the evening papers. No! Can't read English, eh? Well, take off your furs and stay awhile." And he did. He commenced right then and there to do me up To toy with me. To twist my backbone, like a baker making tuffy-candy. He became familiar. When I retired he got in bed with me. He jammed my head against the head-board with the pain. He propped my eyes open, and would not let them close in sleep. He carried off my appetite. He hung his monkey-wrench on my
spinal column and turned on the steam till my temperature went up to 150 degrees in the shade and no umbrella. Then he commenced toying with my circulation. Being a newspaper man he thought I ought to have a nice large circulation. I said, no! He said, yes! So he commenced to increase it, and all the blood in my body went through my heart with a rush. My circulation was large by sworn statement. There was a time when it ran ahead of the New York World. And so it was that my Russian friend staid, and with him staid his grip. When he had gotten me about exhausted he would ease away a little, sit on the foot-board of the bed, blink both eyes and study where to hit me next.
But the days wore on and became ten days that he had been with me. I said then I would make it too hot for him—I would sweat him out, and I was not wholly unsuccessful I took three cathartic pills, a five grain quinine pill, a big dose of hot whiskey, a hot bath, a plenty of cold water, and went to bed in a warm room. When I awoke in the morning ray Russian friend had gone and had left his fur overcoat. It was too hot in the room for furs. And that is my prescription for getting rid of of him. Make it too hot for him to stay. Sweat him out. He comes from the land of eternal snows and furs. He can't stand a warm climate. Give him a hot mustard bath.
It's Coming.
That is a Glee Club for K. S. U The COURIER has not blown its horn in vain. Determined steps have been made-more will be made-success will perch at last on the banners of a University Glee Club. There is nothing like making a noise that will produce an echo. The COURIER thinks so.
He has 15,000 victims in Brooklyn, 40,000 in New York city, 25,000 in Boston, 30,000 in Philadelphia, and now he is journeying into the west. When he reaches there, my readers, you will find that his visit is no joke. Before he leaves America he will have tooyed with more than five millions of our fellow citizens. He is a cold blooded, designing cuss. He goes hand in hand with the anarchist and the Russian nihillist and bomb thrower. I hate the land that gave him birth.
Finical has returned from his home in Ohio where he has been wrestling with the grippe.
As They Decided It.
The decision of the judges of the late contest has provoked no little comment. The general marking has not been criticised so much as has the different individual opinions of the judges. The judges were Hon. John Hutchings, Dr. C. G. Howland and Judge J. S. Emery on Composition and Thought and Col. H. M. Green, Judge J. Q. A. Norton and Hon. S. A. Riggs on Delivery. Their markings are as follows:

The peculiarity of these decisions lies in the great similarity and difference of individual opinion. There is an exact identity in the markings of Judges Riggs and Green on Delivery, while the different opinions passed on the same orator is equally as interesting and remarkable. We will not make further comparisons, but we will let the reader get them from the table. He will find them numerous.
A Little Law.
They were coming down the hill: one was a distinguished Senior; the other a verdent prep-a follower, and almost a worshiper of his dignified companion
The D. S. had just heard a bit of news. —news that filled his very soul with unadulterated joy. It was impossible to restrain himself and he proceeded to throw up: "Say, Jaek, have you heard the news?" "Why, no, what do you mean?" anxiously asked the verdent prep. D. S.: Why, the COURRIER has been garnisheed.
D. S.-Of course it will!
V. P.-Gosh! You don't say so?
Why, that will bust her up won't it?
V. P.- Whoop'ee la! Hurrah for the Kausan.
V. P.-(as a bright idea strikes him) Say, John, if the COURIER busts we won't have to "put up" any more for the Kansan, will we? D. S.-Why, of gouse, not. It is our very salvation. We would
D. S.- You bet you can holler for the Kansan. The COURIER is gone to thunder! Busted! When a thing is garnished you can bet your rocks the thing is busted! Gone up higher than Gillroy's kite.
nave gone under surer than blazes had not this happened. Its darn lucky the COURIFR was garnisheed I tell you!
V. P.- You bet it is!
And then they parted, the V. P. bubbling over with the good news and the D. S. unusually conscious of his knowledge and control of the earth.
If the Laws can find anything worthy of remark in the above the D. S, would undoubtedly be glad to know it.
Our New Regent.
The vacancy made in the Board of Regents by the [resignation of Hon. J. F. Billings of Clay Center has been filled- and admirably filled.
Hon. D. A. Valentine, of Clay Center is the honored man. From all that we can learn Gov. Humpery could have made no better selection
Mr. Valentine is a promising yong man of exceptional ability. College bred, he is uncompromisingly devoted to every interest of advanced education. As editor of Clay Center Times he is fast winning a distinguished place in the State.
We understand that he heartily supports the selection of Prof. J. H. Canfield for Chancellor. If so there is another proof of a broadly thinking and sensible man.

A glance at these committees is a positive assurance of a successful and delightful affair. They are composed of men of experience, who don't believe in doing things half way.

THERE's no place like home. So, many will take a short sojo urn to their paternal roof soon after this little grind has ground its little list of failures.
THE report that the Sigma Chis have withdrawn from the Kansan Combination has created quite a little riffle in journalistic circles. The Sigma Chis found its publication an "expensive luxury." So says the Record.
Remarkable indeed that a frat would deliberately withdraw from the publication of that paying attempt at journalism. Does the Record chronicle the beginning of the end? We hope not.
STUDENTS of K. S. U: when Harvey F. M, Bear appears in the "arena for eloquence" at the next State contest remember him only as the champion of the old "Rock chalk Jay-hawk."
Pledge to this worthy representative of K. S. U.'s oratorical ability your united, sincere and enthusiastic support. Let him feel and know that no envy watcheth for his failure—no dislike anxiously awaittih his defeat.
And in your own whole souled and "howling" support of Bear, the orator, forget old ties of combination and do away with the rancor of fraternity jealously
For then surely he will be- not Bear, the Beta- Not Bear the Senior- Not Bear of the Kansan Combine, But Bear of K. S. U and Bear the winner
A man of "successful destiny so sure" that to withstand him with a "heap of earth" is various folly; to attempt the binding down of K. S. U.'s oratorical supremacy with a Naylor to the climax capped of foolery. In the contest to come, though for Bear we are pledged heart and soul and lungs-let forbearance be not our motto.
With a loud prolonged bloodcurdling howl let us proclaim the fact of the future that our Bear has climbed well the Hill and by force of his eloquence has trailed in the dust the now waving plume of the to be defeated man from Washburn
Pledge then to Bear unanimous accord,encourage him with demonstrated enthusiasm and when the contest hath arrived you will have wisely to leave the rest to Him.
COMING d own from Topeke last Tuesday afternoon one of the COURIER representatives was very agreeably entertained by a pleasant conversation with a Japanese student of Yale. He was returning from a short visit in California and talked very intellegently and entertaining upon the general features of that part of the country and upon many amusing incidents of the trip.
He was especially enthusiastic however when speaking of the advantages of his college, nor could he be persuaded but that it excelled any other in existence.
When questioned as to the difficulties he met in his pursuit of knowledge he replied that of course was the mastering of a language so entirely dissimilar to their own, but by close association and constant appreciation this barrier was overcome much more easily than was generally supposed. Our friend was dressed in a neat business suit, wore the regulation tourist's cap and travelled in first
He said that there were several more of his countrymen at Yale and that in the past they had attained the highest honors as students.
He was bright, witty and courteous and but for his accent and and the physical charistics pecuto his race, might have passed for a cultured American.
rate.
Here indeed was a living exemplification of the old proverb which declares in terse language the supremacy of the will.
THE many optional courses that are given by the professors in their special departments is more than sufficient to convince any liberal minded legislator that the University are more than a "mere high school to the citizens of Lawrence." The catalogue gives the various courses of study but it does not give the thoroughness of research in all these lines of study, nor does it tell of the earnestness of the student in following the lead of the instructor; nor of the untiring energy of all our professors in bringing new trains of thought and and the latest discoveries of science before the minds of their pupils. When the legislators look over this matter we are sure that they will not let such merit as the University undoubtedly possesses to go unrewarded.
THE zeal with which the originators of the Athletic Association are forwarding their plans is most commendable and is in every way typical of the life and vim of the new west. There has been [only one element, wanting here-to-fore in the students enterprises for athletic associations and this time it is not wanting. The younger professors have risen to the emergency: have taken as great or even greater interest in the plans than the students and have added an impetus to the laggardness of the student and now in the opening of [[the spring Base Ball, Lawn Tennis, and Foot Ball will be working under systematic guidance and then after this within a year a Gymnasium will crown the efforts of this noble band who are working so zealously.
THE new year has been very considerate of our alumni, and has brought about advancement and promotion in their chosen professions to not a few of them. To none, however, has it been more kind than to Will Jackson, who made innumerable friends here during his career as a student, first in the collegiate department and afterwards in the law school, from which he graduated only a year or so ago. He is now full partner in one of the strongest and best known law firms in Atchison, and bids fair to shine in the broad field thus opened to him.

Various Views.
I for one lift my voice in opposition to the present system of gradings. The University has made great strides in the advancement of the class and thoroughness of the work, but with its progress has it freed itself from the notion that every student must necessarily be a boy and must be treated as such during his connection with the University? This notion is in a measure correct, that is, it is correct when we view the University as a mere high school where boys must be subjected to discipline in order that they should receive any benefit from their studies. But must the University be so conservative? Must attendance at recitations be obligatory? And above all, after attending each and every recitation for the full term, then must undergo a rigid examination? The matter is this: there is a choice to be made between compulsory attendance and a thorough examination. To have both is an imputation upon the honesty of the students. The recitation system is very good, although conservative. The examination system is a better one, and is calculated to foster independent thought. But the ideas of the old school and those of the new do not make a mixture that is very palatable to the taste of a modern independent student who knows for what purpose he is at school, and in pursuit of "higher erudition" cares not to be trameled by daily set lessons and then at the end of the term suffer the pangs of unrequited toadyism by failing in the examination because he did not chance to remember all that the professor said throughout the whole term. Let us have either rigid examinations and uncompulsory attendance or compulsory attendance and no examinations whatever.
STUDENT
Another ball we say. A K. S. U. Ball, one for the entertainment of those who are from abroad. The opportunity to meet the students from other colleges in the state should not be missed. The proceeds of this ball should go to the Athletic Association. Let every student help in the good cause.
Puns on Seniors.
How ordinary, stale, flat, low and vulgar is the wit of the day. This is a thought which strikes very forcibly a man who has just been sold on that ancient gag which relates to poor old badgered McGinty. Give us something new and let old Mc rest in the quiet sleep from whence he never should have been awakened.
In years to come when we grow old
And business troubles bore us,

Birthdays will come and somebody is sure to know it. There is no doubt of it, if the delightful surprise party given Misses Muggie Mushrush and Florence Reasoner is any proof.
The pleasant Mushrush home was suddenly fallen upon last Tuesday evening by the jolly friends of these young ladies and a more capital surprise was never consummated.
A long evening was spent as only young people can spend it and Misses Reasoner and Mushrush were were never so well convinced of their popularity. Teere were present: Misses Mushrush, Reasoner, Barrettf Bartell, Simpson, Towne and Webb; and Messrs, Mushrush, Cooper, Hare, Hadley, Armstrong, King and Sherman.

That is the pleasant title of Prof. Dyche's delightful lecture on the events of his recent wonderful trip and explorations in British Columbia. It will be delivered in Plymouth church on next Thursday evening. The lecture is sure to be full of charming stories and rare information and it is needless to say that every enterprising student will make it his business to hear it. Such treats as these do not grow on every cottonwood.

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A RIDE JUMP ON! WE ARE GOING TO THE I. C. G. STORE.
We heard that they wanted money We wanted goods, and seeing that peculiar twinkle in Bayless' eye, we knew that something was going to turn up Now here are facts: We find by his own words that they have too much for the inner man, and judging by the effect their goods have on themselves we had better while cheap get on the outside of some ourselves.
Can't remember that we ever bought goods so low! It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give proof by making prices. You remember when we were on the car of overhearing one person whisper in the ear of a friend that they always went to the I. C. G. STORE to get prices even if they did buy of some one on credit, for then they would not have to pay them too much on any goods in their line. So, thinking the matter all over and knowiug how hard my poor husband had to work to keep up the table and clothe himself and family, I made a new resolve on January 1, 1890, that instead of his always having that troubled look on his face we would meet him with a smile when he returned home after a day's work and show him how much ready cash we had saved by trading at the
