A class in short-hand will be started in the city soon. It will be to the advantage of University students to patronize the course. Short hand is a valuable accomplishment.
A new water cooler is to be "seen in the halls." But if you go out doors, the average Kansas January day will cool water with about as much celerity as any thing we have struck yet.
The orations for the local contest are to be handed to the executive committee before January 10. Eleven contestants are reported to have entered and there will probably be more who have not yet spoken.
It strikes us that the faculty would do a wise thing if they excused those taking part in the Oratorical contest from writing at least one of the themes or forensics of the term in which the contest takes place.
So far as we can learn the following have decided to enter the Oratorical contest: Bear, Mushrush, Bowersock, Hadley, Baker, De Ford, Russ and another whose name we have not learned. The contest will doubtless be an interesting one.
The announcement was made that Junior and Senior substituted theses were due Monday. And so they were, but we know a number of the said Juniors and Seniors who will have to slave all the rest of the term making up these abominable nuances.
The swinging doors of the library have been covered with green baize and have glass peep holes in them. The latter have excited much comment. Imagine somebody bending over to look through those holes and have somebody come up on the other side and give the door a jam.
Prof. Olin Templin will guide the Sophomores through the mazes of Logic and Psychology next term. These studies were formerly taught by Dr. Lippincott.
A lunch counter is running now in the basement of the University. This is very acceptable to the students who have recitations both in the forenoon and afternoon.

Prof. Canfield's Junior class in American History has finished taking lectures in Finance of the Revolution and Confederation and now are studying the Diplomacy of the same period.
We had quite a pleasant chat with Prof Dyche that other day on the subject of this recent trip. The Professor has many interesting things to tell and can tell them in an interesting way.
University circles are stirred up over a point of etiquette. At a faculty party, if the unmarried lady professors are to be ranked at the supper table according to age, is the magister epilarmum to decide as to the ages?—Journal
Prof. Dyche has made a very profitable trip. He has brought with him dry skins and bones weighing 1800 lb. These are mostly large animals, and range in size all the way from a fox to an elk. Twelve Rocky Mountain goats are among the prizes.
Prof. Snow is making up an extra large exchange lot of Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) to send to a New Jersey naturalist, who recently sent the University a botanical collection containing 800 specimens new to the Herbarium. —Journal.
The most of the orations for the Oratorical contest were written during the holidays. This is unfortunate because, more time for preparation should be taken. But how can it be otherwise when we are crowded with regular work and theses and forensics-piled on top.
During the vacation the Electrical Engineering workshop received a $12.00 Brainard milling machine from Boston which is now set up. These are machines found only in the best machine shops. There are probably not more than two or three in the State of Kansas.
There are plenty of colleges and State Universities through the country which have more students than K. S. U., but we notice that few of the western colleges have courses equal in rank to our own, or which do as high a grade of work.
Old room No. 11, rests in peace this year. Old students remember with a smile the stormy scenes that took place in that historic room last year, and wonder how they could have cared to quarrel over such trifles and yet we bet our last dollar that they would do it right over again if the chance turned up.
The University library has received a large consignment of books sent to the state printer for binding. They are gotten up in fine shape. It is considered in fact the best bound set of books the University has yet received from the state printer. For its size our library is wonderfully efficient, being entirely a working library, and containing no useless or trivial matter.
Prof. Sterling, president of the Alumni Association is compiling an alumni catalogue. This will be of great interest to the alumni and friends of the University.
Prof. Blackmar on "Co operation."
The following are extracts from a lecture on "Co-operation," delivered by Prof. Blackmar of the State University, at Riverside, Friday evening, Jan. 3rd. "It is with pleasure that I speak to you this evening on the subject of the Farmers Alliance. I recollect having spent years of my childhood on a Pennsylvania farm. I never regret having spent those days there; they were days of sunshine, of peace, and of plenty; I desire to recall that life for I consider it one of the first occupations among all of the professions that we have in the industrial society of the age. I am also glad to say that I am a member of the State University of one of one of the greatest farming states of this union. It is a great pleasure to meet with the entire industrial society as a great co-operative body in the true sense of the word. Human industry is bound together by the strong ties of cooperation. Co-operation in the true sense of the word means a body of people bound together to work for each other's interest and for the same end; a joint labor. This is the philosophy of all co-operations.
Labor is paid by its own comforts; capital furnishes comforts in great varieties. Labor is essential to improvement. Labor with capital is beneficial to the whole country. Because of the improper adjustment of affairs and disagreement in the distribution of wealth causes hard times among the laboring class, especially the farmers; when that disagreement is regulated we will have wealth and contentment among the laboring class. No more strikes; no more rebellion.
One class of co-operation is called 'coercive' or forced co operation. For instance, every man who is born in this United States takes a position in the industrial army subject to that coercive cooperation. Another class of co-operation is called 'distributive'. For example a body of farmers are wanting cultivators, or other farming impuliments, they send directly to the manufacturer who ships the machine and notifies each man that his machine will arrive on a certain day, and each man is present and unloads his machine from the car to his wagon, thus avoiding the handling of each machine by the so-called, middle-men, who in turn have to have their commission.
Farmers, you are working against a great wrong. Why not fight it? Why not rush upon it in a body and struggle to come out victorious, as the farmers of Iowa and Indiana did against the wire trust? Fight a monopoly with a monoply. They say that down here in Johnson county they have a co-operative store, it has been in existence since 1876, many of you know more about it than I do; it is a very successful operation. it is almost a monoply and other stores. I understand are coming down. I think in 1886 their sales were about $210,000.00, they only had a capital of $43,000.00, and their net profits $144,000.00.
The fourteenth annual meeting of the Kansas Historical Society will be held in the hall of the house of representatives, at Topeka, on Tuesday evening January 21. Election of member to the board of directors will take place and other important business will come up before the meeting. One of the prominent features of the meeting will be an address delivered by Hon. Edward Russell of this city on "The Administration of Governor Thomas Carney."

THE Lance from the Kansas Weslyan University at Salina does not like the Kansas College papers. Well it may be that the college papers of Kansas are not what they should be, but if the Lance wishes to see them improved if should freshen up a little. It should know a little more about the papers of Kansas before, it passes a criticism. For instance the Exchange editor seems to be unaware that there is such a paper as the Review published in Kansas He seems to think there are only three weekly college papers in Kansas whereas there are four. By the way is it the policy of the Weslyan to conceal the faults of its students? We always were of that impression and our suspicion has been confirmed. The University papers are not run on policy and besides there is nothing to conceal. Though the Weslyan cannot do so the University can bear that the people of the state should have the most intimate knowledge of the affairs here. But that is accounted for by the much better class of students that are here than at the Weslyan.
PROF. DYCHE'S TRIP:
An Account of the Expedition in British America in the Interests of the University.
Prof. L. L. Dyche returned the 21st. of last month from his trip in the interest of the Natural History Department of the University. Prof.'s Dyche left here for his trip about the 1st, of last July. He had arranged to meet two hunters at Denver, but on arriving there, he found one of them could not go, but with the other he set out for Spokane Falls, Washington. He and the hunter parted company there and Dyche was thrown on his own resources.
The naturalist engaged horses and wagons and proceeded by road northwest to Loomis' Store, only a few miles south of the northern line of the United States. At a ranch about three miles from Loomis' trading post, Prof. Dyche established headquarters. He had with him two guides who had engaged to show him caribou, and also there accompanied him thus far two men on a fishing excursion.
From his headquarters Prof. Dyche made four distinct trips. The first trip was made in a northwesterly direction in a hunt for Rocky Mountain Sheep. Through rough mountain ways, up glacier worn gorges, and across sharp ridged ranges, the Professor and guides made their way. The trip was eminently successful, many of the wild sheep of the Rockies falling to their guns. Among these sheep is one of especial size; in faet, Prof. Dyche considers it not surpassed in size by any yet acquired by the museums of the country.'
The second pushing out was in a northeasterly direction, following up the Kettle river for a considerable distance. The trip was made for caribou, but none of these hardy Cervidae were found. Not many specimens were acquired in this outing, the party bringing back only a few deer. The third excursion was made directly west from headquarters, the hunters ranging along the boundary line. This trip was made with an eye single to the killing of Rocky Mountain Goats, a remarkable species of mountain-inhabiting animals with snowy white hair and small black horns, and black hoofs. These animals are very rare and gradually becoming extinct. Prof. Dyche was exceptionally successful in this trip, bringing to headquarters an excellent lot of specimens. These specimens are of great value and will give the University the means of acquiring other valuable skins in exchange for them.
The fourth and last trip was by odds the most exciting and the most productive of hardships, of all the outings. The trip was in a northeasterly direction from Loomis' Store. Prof. Dyche with two companions, started with horses up the Kettle river. After nearing the head of this stream, he came to a
vast stretch of country which had recently been swept by great forest fires. Not a blade of grass grow in the shadow of the dense black pine forests. The trees stood stark and bare, but for tite long and thick bunches of moss which hung like masses of felt from the branches of the pines. The horses had to be abandoned for the reason that there was no possibility of obtaining forage for them, and besides the country was so rough and precipitous that the animals could have made little progress. The caribou, for this was a second caribou trip, feed on this moss and can live in the fire-swept forests. Leaving the horses in charge of one of his companions Dyche and the third hunter with packs on their backs, went or waded through the forests and mountains for fifty miles. They had reached a point fully 300 miles north of the boundary line, and it began snowing. There were soon three feet of snow on the ground to delay their progress, and they halted. They saw no caribou, but discovered the fresh tracks of six of the animals. On November 26 they set out on their journey homeward. The fifty miles of snow, to be wholly traversed on foot, was a fearful journey, but, after enduring remarkable hardships, they reached the horses and their companion, and all three followed down the Kettle river to headquarters, where Prof. Dyche made immediate preparations to leave, and was four weeks making the return trip.
For the many thrilling incidents of the trip; for a detailed account of the spemens obtained; for any account of the habits of the animals so successfully hunted; or for any description of the wild region of country traversed and re-traversed by the plucky naturalist in his hunts, the scope of this article is too limited, but University students will undoubtedly have an opportunity to hear from the Professor's lips a detailed account of his expedition.
The University collections have been greatly increased by the trip, and the reputation of the institution as regards enterprise and the energetic prosecution of its avowed determination to possess the best natural history collections west of the National Museum, can not but be gacately enhanced by the successful issue of Prof. Dyche's expedition.
RAWSON BENNET, better known as Perley Bennet, is preparing a history of the attempt in 1886-87 to consolidate the Sigma Nu and Kappa Sigma fraternities. The history will not contain an account of his own adventures in becoming a fraternity member, nor how he was betrayed and had to accept a charter from Sigma Nu as a last resort.
ADELPHIAN: It is said that a few days before Thanksgiving, this fall, two Yale freshmen, feeling the suspense about the Yale-Princeton game to be too great, consulted a clairvoyant. Each paid a dollar like a little man, and after long delays the momentous answer finally came, "A great university will win!"
SUBSCRIBERS to the KANSAN are supposed to pay in advance. You must remember that it takes money to run a college paper, and that your fifty cents is just as valuable to us as anybody else fifty cents. The business managers would make the request that you see them as speedily as possible.
It is rumored that Prof. W. A. Quayle is to be appointed as President of Baker University to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of President Gobin.
W. A. WHITE has resigned his position as editor of the Tribune and has accepted a similar position on the ElDorado Republican. The best wishes of the KANSAN go with him.
In another column will be found a list of names of the Alumi of the University, whose whereabouts is unknown. Any one knowing where any of these persons are will confer a favor to the Alumni Association by furnishing Prof. Sterling with the information at once. The maternal being collected is to be used in the preperation of an Alumni Catalogue.
THE KANSAN does not assume the position of advisor of the students very often, but in consideration of the number of students that are suffering from "La Grippe," or a malady very much resembling that disease, it may not be out of the way to caution them against catch-in cold after they are apparently recovered from its effects, as it is this that generally prove serious in the attacks of this disease.
In the Oberlin Review we find the following quotation purporting to come from Prof. Mahaffy of Dublin Ireland:
When we of Europe hear that college students in the (United) States act as waiters in hotels; or drive around milk-carts, we naturally feel a shock which many arguments will not overcome, and we feel convinced that the great majority of such students will never make literary or scientific men, will never make high-class teachers, and will probably be withdrawn from the proper occupations in which they might have been really useful and competent citizens.
If the professor could see the poor boys of America that are making their own way through college and see those same boys ten years from now he would probably change his mind. Boys paying their own way are found among the best students of our American colleges, to-day as in the past, and the prominent place these poor boys have taken in our public life show very conclusively that the professor is mistaken in his opinion.

A GIRL'S VIEW.
Of What Knowledge a Girl Should Have of Public Affairs?
It has been a matter of note in our University, how many girls have chosen studies on political and economic questions. The growing desire seems to be to acquire a more intimate knowledge of public affairs. However I am sorry to say most of the girls who have made themselves prominent by the extent and thoroughness with which they have engaged in studies of this have have been termed "strong minded," in a tone that carried with it, no very complimentary significance.
I think this very ungenerous in our male friends. If a girl wishes to inform herself on a subject about which she is often chided for her ignorance, she certainly should receive encouragement in doing so. It is not because we want to vote or anything, of that kind, that the girls are endeavoring to get this information. While a few girls may desire this privilege, the majority, and may I say, the most sensible of the girls do not. It is the principle of he matter that I regard.
It is the idea that the sterner sex regard our intellects in a pitying way and when we inquire into political affairs, answer us patronizingly and say, "It is something women cannot understand." If there is one phrase more than another in the English language that I thoroughly detest, it is that of "only a girl." The idea that some men should think that women should have no ambition higher than a broom handle and no thought that the steam of the laundry will not dissolve it, is maddening. But then I believe there are some men that are willing to give women their dues. In fact, I know there are
E. P. Whipple, in my estimation one of the best critics, says the discontent noticeable among American women is due to the lack of mental food, of which the small talk of most society deprives her. Deprived of the inspiration, energy and ambition which intellectual conversation supplies, unable to view the mighty problem of life from any other stand point than a ball room or the contemplation a milliner's
window affords her, she is only too apt to become imbued with Byronic misanthropy. She thinks life a tiresom round of society events of which she so soon becomes satiated and deems life not worth the living. For, being thrown back on her own resources, she finds there is no help for her enniu there, for she finds the dismal fact that she is a mental pauper. This deplorable state of affairs is in a great part the fault of women themselves. For I believe a total extinction of the silly chit-chat that now supplies the place of conversation in so many circles, calling themselves the best society depends upon the efforts of the woman. I have noticed in personal observation that real gentlemen adapt their conversation to the inclination of he lady with whom they may be talking and follow the lead which she may give them. Even those who are least intellectually capable of doing so, make priiable efforts to keep step with the pace she may lead them.
I feel I could write on indefinitely on this subject, but I have no doubt said enough.

Unity Club,
"Falka," by Andrews' Opera Company. The looked forward engagement of the Andrews' Opera Company was opened most auspiciously last evening by the presentation of "Falka," a comic opera, whose action passes in Hungary in the middle of the last century. A good house greeted the singers, and the hearty reception accorded the opera attests the success of the engagement.
Of the leading characters May Morgan's "Falka" was the favorite with the audience. This charming little lady has an extremely sweet and flexible voice, and her scores were sung with much intelligence. Her winsome stage manners and sprightly acting won her much favorable comment. In her lullaby, sung with Mr. Henshaw and a trio with Miss Clayton and Mr. George Andrews she was recalled. Miss Clayton made an admirable gypsy girl. She has a powerful voice, and does well in her dialogue parts. Mr. Henshaw, the first tenor, has an exceptionally pleasant manner, and his singing was heartily received last night, and will win him much praise before the engagement is finished. Mr. Parker, comedian, is admirable, and his "Tancred raises high expectations for his work here. Messrs. Andrews are well-known professionals and possess excellent voices, Mr. George Andrews, baritone, being especially appreciated in his soyo work. Mr. Ed. Andrews and Mr. Parker kept the audience in a roar. The chorous singing is strong, and shows careful training.
The lecture announced for last Monday by Col. H. L. Moore on Bacon and his works, was postponed on account of the weather but it will be given on Monday next. This paper created quite a sensation when given before the Zodiac Club and many who could not hear it then will be glad to avail themselves of this opportunity. The discussion which will follow will be interesting and all who can should attend.
A KANSAN man inquired especially to discover the opinion of the audience, and found a hearty satisfaction on the part of all. To-night Ermine will be presented.

There is folks who wanders 'lorg here, lookin' in sneerin' like at me;
But I keep my balance steady; and perhaps as my cousins in the parlor—our old clock an 'splinink'-wheel.
*swingin' back an 'swingin' forward—for to mine my title straight—
*swingin' from the family as the mother
An "intrigue" is good long spen, now, if my memory serves me clear.
Since of the one onstead~*so'real hundred miles from here:
There was comin~*there was goin~*for the lateh-string dangled free~

There was lovers tenderly lingering' persever-

Fellows comin' ture'o evenin's, makin' most too long a stay;
Till they sagged the Pints an' hinges of the Old Front Gate.
Fellows comin' there with preachers, for to
take our guls away;
the dance's treat—
Fellows drive'in up with coffins, for to tase
away our dead.
I've done sad an mournful duty, as the Old Front Gate!
There was one good-looking' couple, jolly-hearted like, an' free.
Swingin' back an ' swingin' forward, like a pendulum of fate,
sucked a hap o nonsense-wisdom, **with**
their elbows on me;
they are, as they ought to, for their hearts have one heart.
But they have another heart.
But they moved off to the city, an' then kind of worked up.
They grew rich an' full of fashion, an' their souls forgot to mate.
An' they lost the tie that bound 'em by the Old Front Gate.
An' they both was blue about it; for they both was some to blame—
An' they got so one was missin'—places where
the other came;
An' her mother—sweet old lady, but eternal
tonic,'too.
Saw that things was runnin' dang'rous, an'
deided what to do:
Till you straightway box and send to me the Old Front Gate!

what they were to see
An' in turnin' round a corner, spat they run up on to me!
An' they knew me in a minute; an' their hearts began to date
Back to where they used to linger by the Old Front Gate.
an they clasped each other closely, as their memory hurried back.
An' the good old lady switched off—havin' set them on the track;

For my lady hent above me, an' caressed me, my lady on her!
Swing' in back an' swing' in forward, I am very glad to state
That that pair re-entered Heaven through the Old Front Gate.

State Journal: Barlow Lippincott, son of ex-Chancellor Lippincott, and a University graduate (class of '86), has just received from Secretary Noble, of the department of the interior, the appointment of assistant topographer in the U. S. geological survey. This is a deserved promotion, and was warmly recommended by Maj. Powell and Professor Thompson of the survey. Barlow Lippincott is a hard worker and full of enthusiasm, and his many friends will expect to hear still better things from him.
The sub-committee of the University Athletic Association having decided that the best way to raise the necessary funds from among the students was to select a larger committee of twenty five from the University to work personally among the students. Accordingly such a committee of students was requested by Prof. Max Winkler to meet in the French room last Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. About eighteen were present and Prof. Winkler laid the plan before them. It is, as you have already found out to circulate subscription lists among the students and endeavor to raise the sum of $700. This would average about $1.50 from each student. The faculty are subscribing a large sum, and the Regents also will subscribe, in addition to voting whatever funds may be in the University treasury, not otherwise appropriated. The committee selected to do this work of raising the subscriptions, is chosen so as to give all sections of the University a representation. The committee is enthusiastic and it only remains now for you students to show your interest in your University, and to express it forcibly "Plank down your cash."
Prof. W.A. Quayle was Wednesday elected vice-president of Baker University by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees. This will probably place him at the head of the institution when Dr. Gobin assumes his duties at DePauw University.
Unity Club.
Prof. A. G. Canfield has kindly consented to read his paper entitled "The Practical Value of Literature" before Unity Club next Monday evening. This paper was read before the "Old and New Club" a short time since and is spoken of in glowing terms by the few fortunate enough to hear it.
Governor Robinson has also accepted an invitation from the club to talk on the subject of Eli Thayers Book. This will be highly interesting and a crowded house will greet the governor. Judge Emery will present an interesting paper in the near future.

COLLEGE LIFE is the name of a new weekly paper started at the College of Emporia. It is the third atempt to start a paper by the students of the college.
CORNELL'S new library building will be the finest in America. It will have an auditorium with seating capacity for 1,000 people; the reading room is 120 feet long,72 feet wide, and 38 feet high. There will be room for 409,000 volumes.
THE College Echoes from Lane University speaks of the "La Gripe," in the same issue that it boasts of the thoroughness and extent of the curriculum at Lane. It is very evident that the instruction in French is sadly neglected there.
THE winning oration in the local contest at Ohio Wesleyan is entitled "Puritan and Cavalier." The winning oration in the local contest at Washburn is entitled "Puritan and Cavalier."—Index.
The winning oration at the Ohio Weslyan is claimed to be a plagiarism. We wonder how far the coincidence continues with the oration at Washburn.
THE faculty of Johns Hopkins University noes not want a college paper. The following is a ruling lately made to forestall the efforts to start a college paper:
"That it is not desirable that any publication be issued by the students of this university without the consent of the Board of Trustees, and that the publication of any newspaper by any person or persons connected with the university is forbidden."
It is claimed that State University has set aside its preparatory course. But it has a "sub freshman" year. Will someone please explain the difference between the two terms "preparatory" and "sub-freshman?—Echoes.
The value and necessity of Barb Associations is felt at other places than Wesleyan. May the one at De Pauw grow to the same proportions and power as the one here.

THE organized "Barb" Association has rented and nicely furnished a room over Piercy's drug store as a place to hold their meetings. -Adz.
It is not claimed that the State University has no preparatory department, but after next year there will be no preparatory, department nor a sub-freshman year, as it is called.
The only trouble with these societies is that as soon as a good man is found among their numbers, he is immediately, taken in by some fraternity to the discomfiture of the said Barb associations.
A Plain Statement of the Facts About the Selection of a Chancellor.
Does the State University have a chaplain? If it does, why does he not pray the Lord to give the board of regents backbone enough to select a chancellor? The present, shipshod method of running our leading institution of learning is a disgrace. Abilene Selector.
This is only a sample of what appears every day or two in some of the papers of the state. It only goes to show how much more easily outsiders, who have no responsibility in the matter, can perform an important and delicate task than those who are charged with its performance. Selecting a chanceiller for the State University is not like nominating a county officer in a county caucus, where "anybody" will do, and a change can be made in a year or two if the selection be unfortunate. In the first place a man must be found who will fill the bill; then he must be induced to accept the job at the salary named by the legislature, $3,000. The first part of the job is the easier. In fact, we know that at least one man was selected before the present term opened, but they failed on the second proposition. A half dozen others have had informal offers of the position, but they have all declined. As a matter of fact the regents are acting with great good sense in delaying action till they get the right man, if it takes two years. Fortunately they have no Democratic governor to boss the jobs, and offer the positions to Tom, Dick or Harry, and finally allow a political crony to name him. The university was never in its history so prosperous, so well attended or better managed than during the present year. The faculty is presided over by Prof. Snow, in an exceedingly satisfactory and able manner; while the business affairs of the institution are in the hands of Regent W. C. Spangler, for many years its able secretary, who knows more about its affairs than any man living, and whose management is nill that could be desired. After this year, the board will have larger appropriations at their command, and may apportion the money as they see fit. They can then pay enough to get the sort of man Kansas wants, and must have, if she keeps him at the head of her chief educational institution. — Clay Centre Dispatch.
The above written by Bion Hutchins is an able exposition of the reason why no Chancellor has been selected for the University and we can only reiterate the statement that as long as the affairs, of the University are conducted as well as they are being by Prof. Snow and Regent Spangler, there is no need of any haste in the selection of a Chancellor.
Now is the time to push the efforts for athletic grounds to completion. Don't let your interest and enthusiasm lag. We should be already to go to work on them in the spring.
THE Topeka Capital of yesterday contains an article by an Eastern man on the University. It touches incidentally on the question of selecting a Chancellor.

The New Catalogue. The catalogue for 1890 is now out and presents a highly gratifying condition of the affairs of the University. Probably one of the most gratifying features of the new catalogue is the enrollmont, which is larger than ever before, notwithstanding the fact that it does not contain the enrollment of the second term which has heretofore been contained in the catalogue for the year. The enrollment in the catalogue is is 508. However this is less than the actual enrollment now, there being enrolled too late for insertion in the catalogue, nineteen, making the total enrollment 527. With the enrollment of the next term this number will probably be swelled to nearly, if not 600. One of the gratifying points of the increase in the enrollment is the material increase in the collegiate department. This number is much larger than that of the preceding years. On the other hand all will be pleased to note that the number of preparatory students is much smaller than ever before.
With the prospective abolition of the preparatory department, has come a change for the better in the High Schools of the state, the number prepared to admit their students of the freshman class without examination being much larger than that of last year. Of the first-class of accredited High Schools, those whose courses fully prepare their graduates for admission to the Fresman class, there are nineteen named in the catalogue against four of last year. Of the second class, those schools whose courses fall short of preparing for any one of the regular courses by not more than the amount of three term's work in any one subject, there are thirty-seven against thirty-one of last year, making the total number of schools admitting graduates, fifty-six against thirty-five of last year.
A provision for special students is also found in this year's catalogue. Persons of mature years and character who desire for reasons satisfactory to the Chancellor or Faculty to pursue some special line of study without becoming candidates for a degree, are allowed to enter as special students Such students must file with the Secretary of the University, prior to entering classes, a statement of the work which they desire to pursue, with the reasons for such choice; and a written statement from the instructor under whom work is to be carried, that the student is prepared to undertake the work specify. No entrance examinations are required of such special students further than may be necessary to satisfy the instructors under whom the studies may be taken. With the advice and consent of the Faculty, special students may carry other studies than that in which they are specializing, provided such studies are closely connected with their special work and necessary to it.
Special students are subject to the same regulations with regard to
the amount of work performed, and and attendance, at recitations and examinations, but not as to the number of studies to be pursued. The Chancellor or the Faculty may at any time deprive any special student of his privileges if it appear that he is abusing or neglecting them.
There is a slight increase in the number of the faculty, it now numbering thirty-three and when a Chancellor shall be elected, thirty-four. The names of the faculty appear in the catalogue, with the name of the institution, in which they took their degree, immediately after them and this list of itself very creditable. Though there are a few from small colleges, the majority have received their degree from the leading universities. Four of our professors received their degrees from Williams; one from Rochester; two from Harvard one from Illinois Wesleyan; one from Cincinnati and New York; one from Yale; one from Berlin, Germany; one from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music; one from Johns Hopkins; one from the Cincinnati School of Art; one from Cornell; one from Princeton; and eight from the University of Kansas. This is an excellent showing and can be rivaled by few colleges or Universities especially west of the Atlantic states. The proportion of the small institutions is very small, as compared with most colleges.
The descriptive portion of the catalogue is much the same as that of the previous years though there are numerous evidences of the prosperity of the University.

AN INCIDENT.
A Med—while walking down the street,
a charming maid enchanted to meet,
Of form with which none could compete;
So meat.
Susah had such eyes and golden hair,
And a complex on far more fair,
Than he had yet seen anywhere;
"Ah there!"
This maiden from behind her fan,
Looked coyly—a smile in can,
While from her lips the sneeze rat,
"Who is that man?"
The Med thought this was very bright.
His heart beat fiercely with dolls, hot
As he answers loud with all his night,
"Oh he's all right."
What happened now was very wrong,
And shout d not happen but in song,
This Med and madem walked along,
Caught on,

THEOLOGY
Two children stood by the water's brink
And watched the moonbeams gitter and wink
On the tossing waves of the sea so vast,
And the silvery moon second to each cast
O'er the troubled sea in the dark one night,
Right up to his feet a path of light
Sotsey fell to disputing and quarreling sore,
For each saw only one path and no more,
And claimed that outside its shining mark.
The whole great sea was gloomy and dark.
Two preachers stood by the sea of life.
Now each had lived in co stant strife.
To find a path through life's dark night,
That led direct to the source of light;
And to each as reward one ray had shore.
Ot the mviad lights th' it come from His throne
So they fell to disputing and quarrelling ore,
For each saw only one path and no more,
And claimed that all who refused to go
His way, were doomed to darkness and woe.
Communicated.
EDITOR KANSAN:I have been watching the attempt to start the athletic spirit in our K. S. U. and it seems to me that if the commissioners appointed by the athletic association would resolve themselves into a committee, and adopt the plan used in the eastern colleges the ultimate success of our undertaking would be much nearer.
Let them make a personal canvas of all the students and get a pledge from them of any amount, or a stated amount which shall render them active members of the association, while others by the constitution being members will only have the power of associates.
It seems to me that a reasonable amount will be raised this way and it will demonstrate more clearly and exactly the interest in the movement.
We have had pretty clear evidence that as soon as we take hold and make a showing that aid will be near at hand. This scheme has been tried and found a success, it is in fact the only plan in use to support the beginnings of the large eastern associations, giving them the sinews until by exhibitions and tournaments as the late Yale-Princeton game, which cleared over $5,000 to each college they shall have provided themselves with money and pay a big per cent on the original investment.
SUBSCRIBER.
A State Athletic Association. Sometimes ago the KANSAN spoke of the desirability of forming a state athletic association and proposed that each college of the state be represented by some student interested in athletics so that some feasible method might be devised to give athletics a more prominent part in college life in Kansas. Since the other article was written an athletic association has been formed by the students of the University and now we are prepared to enter into the matter of athletics with the other colleges more fully and with more definite aims than ever before. It is not known how the other colleges of the state regard this matter, but it is hoped that before the close of the present school year there will be an athletic league formed between the colleges of Kansas.
That such a league is desirable, can hardly be doubted by any one, if he favors the promotion of athletics in the colleges at all. As it is, there are few inter-collegiate contests in Kansas. This is due of course to the absence of any organization and until some organization is formed there can be little done to better the existing condition of things. If there were a state organization there would be a stimulus given to each college and it would result in much more interest being taken in these matters.
It is not very creditable to say the least, that there are a half dozen colleges in as small a radius as those composing the State Oratorical Association, and year after year passes without a siigle game between some of them. There is no reason why there should not be an annual contest in athletics that would attract as much interest as the Oratorical contst.
It is to be hoped that the other colleges of the state will take this matter into consideration and be prepared to discuss this question through some of their representatives next month when the contest meets here.

The Coming Contest.
The State Oratorical contest which occurs in this place on the 14th of next month promise to be one of the best ever held in the State. All the local contests, which have been held so far, report the successful orators to be men of exceptional high standing as speakers.
There will be also a large delegations from each of the colleges. To entertain these visitors in a manner in keeping with the University's idea of hospitality, will necessarily involve much planning and hard work. It has been proposed that, besides the usual work done by the local association, a large committee be appointed representing the several fraternities and literary societies to arrange for a reception to be held immediately after the contest. The suggestion seems a good one and if the students take the matter in hand there is little doubt of its success. Nothing will add to the popularity of the University so much as hospitable and courteous entertainment of visitors.

Historical Seminary.
In spite of the very unpleasant weather there was an attendance of some thirty students at the Seminary of Historical and Political Science last Friday evening and a very interesting meeting was held. The report of the previous session, Dec. 6, 1889, written by W. A. Snow was read by Mr. Hill, and was followed by a paper by Miss Carrie Watson, on "Some Phases of Library Work." A historical sketch of the rise of library management as a profession, and library economy as a science since the organization of the American Library Association in 1876, was given and modern methods of study in seminaries were described. Miss Watson mentioned some of her duties and showed that the office involved more than a chance to read all the books. The library is now one of the most important departments of a modern university.
A paper by Prof. Blackmar on the "Study of History and Sociology" was next on the program, in which a general view of the extent of these branches was given and their importance in relation to practical life was shown. Modern methods of study in the historical science were discussed in detail.
The closing paper was "City Government," by Hon. Chas. S. Gleed, read in the absence of the author by Pref. Canfield. Cities are the result of the gregarious nature of the human race. Every man with a want goes sooner or later to a city where his want is satisfied if he in turn can satisfy the wants of some one else. Cities are the clearing houses of our civilization. The friction caused by the collision of so many better and generous elements is great, and is the chief difficulty of their government. Municipal administration can be considered in four lights: 1. History which gives us the experience of ages; 2. Religion which prompts us to help our fellow man; 3. Science which shows us the faults and needs and the causes of disease and crime; 4. Philosophy by which we can learn methods of remedy and control.
Our present system of municipal administration is taken from English cities where the conditions are so different as not to afford a precedent for us. The best form of city management is where the power and responsibility is in one man, elected often by popular or delegated vote. The form of city government should be prescribed by the State and certain limitations put upon the actions of the executive officer but in other respects he should have complete control. The people would know then whom to blame for bad administration and there would be less chance for corruption. It is easier to bribe a jury than a judge, a legislature than a governor, a congress than a president, not because they are any better men but because they are more exposed to public criticism. The city is not a political body but
a business corporation and should be treated as such. Those cities that have tried a method of administration similar to this have found it to work much better than the ordinary cumberous system.
KANSAS STATE NEWS
Teachers Declare for Prohibition.
Teachers Declare for Presentation.
The annual meeting of Kansas Teachers Association held at Topoka, was largely attended. The following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Prohibitory amendment to the Constitution of Kansas has, by driving *the saloon beyond her borders*, brought happiness and comfort to thousands of homes, has brought thousands of sober citizens from other lands; and from other lands; has reduced crime and pauperism; has made it easier for us to govern and teach the children of the Commonwealth and has elevated Kansans to a civilized people by any other people in the history of the world; therefore.
Reserved, That we are here and forever opposed to a resumption of the Prohibitory amendment; and that it is our deliberate intention to ensure that we as firmly embedded in the Constitution of Kansas and in the hearts of her people as are the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments embedded in the Federal Compromise, and in the hearts of the American people.
Resolved, That the substance of the foregoing resolution be telegraphed to every State Teachers' Association now in session in any part of the United States.
A New Enterprise.
Articles of incorporation, announcing a capital stock of $400,000, have been filed by the Consolidated Land and Cattle Company of Kansas City with the Secretary of State at Topeka. The object of the company is the breeding, raising, buying and selling of cattle and horses, and in connection therewith the buying, owning, holding, leasing and selling of real estate throughout the United States.
Women's Wages.
Labor Commissioner Betton's report will be issued about February 1. The commissioner has been making a specialty of investigating the wages of working women in the larger cities of the State, and this department of the report will prove of unusual interest to the large number of women throughout the State who claim that they should receive equal wages with the sterner sex for similar labor performed.
The Flag Winners.
The teachers of Jackson County on their return from the Teachers' convention at Topeka after the capture of the flag, were met at the depot in Holton by the Third Regiment Band $ \rho $ a large company of citizens. From the depot they were escorted to the court-house, where they were given a warm reception.
He Blew Into His Gun.
George Callen, a night watchman at the Missouri Pacific Freight Depot in Leavenworth, shot himself at his home while fooling with a loaded gun. He was handling a double-barreled shotgun, with one load in it, and was blowing into the muzzle of the gun, with his foot on the lock, trying to find out which barrel was loaded, when it accidentally went off, discharging the load of shot into his head. The entire load in the gun passed into the right side of his head, blowing out his right eye and injuring him probably fatally.

WE ARE GOING TO THE I. C. G.
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 the facts: We find by his own words and the size of their stock 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! In fact, while others are advertising to close out, we find that the I. C. G. by their prices might always be considered as closing out. It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give the 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 knew 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

The Laws called on Judge J. Q. A. Norton Wednesday evening at 7:30 to listen to a lecture given by that gentleman on the duties of a Probate Judge. Mr. Norton is a fluent talker and a man who understands has business which was fully exemplified by the manner in which he handled his subject, taking up the subject of executors, administrators, marriage and wills he went to the very intracacies of his topics. The kindness of the Judge will long be remembered by the boys.

Science Club.
The lantern display which the Science Club announced some time ago, of the pi tures taken by the Estes Park party last summer, was given in Snow Hall last Friday evening. The lantern slides were prepared and exhibited by Messrs. W. S. and E. C. Franklin and were briefly explained by V. L. Kellogg.
A brief account was given of the hardships, the various encounters and best of all the ten days tramp made by nine of the party from Morane in Estes' Park across the Continental Divide through the length of Middle park, across the range again and down Clear Creek Canon to Golden, where the party took the train for Denver. The distance traveled was about 150 miles, making an average of about fifteen miles per day. The experience of the party was given so that it would be of use to others who might expect to spend a summer camping.
The views when thrown o4. the wall were about six feet in diameter and showed the beautiful scenes of Colorado to the best advantage. The picture of Estes Park was one of exceptional beauty and elicited much admiration from the audience. All of the views, however, were not conned to the strictly beautiful, some of them being quite amusing and furnishing the lecturer an opportunity to give some jokes at the expense of the subjects of the pictures.
The audience was highly pleased with the exhibition and this manner of presenting views by the Science Club will prove very popular.

DEPAUW Adz. Ex-President Andrew White is reported as recently saying that our institutions of learning are in a better condition than ever before; that there is a greater tendency among students to study and less to dissipation. The causes, he says, are not hard to find; more time is devoted to athletics than formerly and men who excel in these things must perforce be temperate. There is strong argument in this for encouraging athletics here. Much surplus time and animal spirits that were formerly spent in devising schemes for worrying one another and the faculty, now find relief on the ball ground, in the gymnasium and tennis court. If these things be true, which they no doubt are, the conclusions are so evident that the wayfaring man, though blind, might see them.
THE election of Calvin S. Brice to the Senate of the U. S. from Ohio brings to mind again the part college men are taking in the affairs of the world. Mr. Brice was a graduate of Miami University in the State that has just honored him with the title of Senator. He was one of the poor boys of the school but was one of the popular students He never had his money in his own possession but had to have all of his bills for board and room rent paid from a sum entrusted to Prof. Bishop by his father. Bills for anything but the necessities of life were always refused payment for his father who was a Presbyterian minister' did not believe in a too generous allowance of money for college boys. Whatever opinion one holds of Mr. Brice's political opinions and methods his ability and energy must win the admiration of all,
A criticism of the KANSAN is seldom found in any of the numerous exchanges received that does not take occasion to suggest that the KANSAN would be improved by an exchange column, and recently several of our subscribers have suggested the same thing, and we feel more disposed to make reply to the suggestion when made by our subscribers than when made by our exchanges. Not that we do not value the good opinion of exchanges but because the staff of the KANSAN primarily desire to make the paper acceptable to subscribers and believed that the space generally given to an exchange column could be filled to better advantage with something else. This conclusion has not been jumped at without good cause, but was made after a careful examination and consideration of the college papers running exchange columns.
Something Concerning Exchanges.
Having a designated amount of space to fill each week, when interesting items cannot be found, indiscriminate cipping is the result and the column is filled with a lot of rubbish that interest no one and that have been published annually, in the majority of the college papers since they came into existence. Having a new exchange edit each year he does not recognize the hoary, whiskered chestnuts as the same ones that served his predecessor and they are brought into service again. When high school student the editor used to receive occasionally a copy of a college paper and the following paragraphs were a source of much interest:
It is stated that one in 5,000 takes a college course in England, one in 2,000 in the United States, one in 615 in Scotland, and one in 213 in Germany.
The average circulation of college papers in the U. S. is about four hundred.
Only ten per cent of Cornell's graduates have been women, yet they have won sixty per cent of the fellowships.
There are nearly 50,000 students in the collges of America.
The average expenses of students at Harvard are $800 per year.
They were interesting to a high school stu ent, but after reading them year after year, and week after week since it has been our privilege to examine papers from other colleges such items become exceedingly monotonous.
The University of Mexico is said to be the oldest University in America, proceeding Harvard by fifty years.
Another item that is beginning to show signs of old age is.
About fine years ago this item was one of news, but since the proposed institution is already established and is in its third year of successful operation it is time the above should be called in.
The widow of President Garfield has given $10,000 for the establishment of a University in his honor at Wichita.
There are, however, a few exchanges that are able to maintain
Without conducting a column devoted to exchange notes, we have endeavored to give our readers all the events of interest that have been happening among the colleges and feel confident that this has proven more satisfactory than an exchange column would.
exchange columns that are creditable to the paper but they are very few. Prominent among these are the Hesperian, (University of Neb) Pulse, (Grinnell College,) Oberlin Review, (Oberlin) and the Adz (De Pauw) There are other papers undoubtedly, that maintain good exchange columns, but the above list includes all such that are on the KANSAN's list.
EXCHANGES from other colleges all report the progress being made on the Annuals of the various colleges. What is the matter with the annual here? Why is nothing done towards getting out our annual this year? We cannot afford to let another year go by without the issue of an annual.
A REPORT has been received from Vienna that the Star of Bethlehem would appear this year. The appearance of this star has been predicted for every year since 1884 and should it appear this year it woul be the seventh appearance of it since the time of Christ. There is some doubt however of the authenticity of the report and concerning the subject, Prof. Pickering of Harvard says:
"I can scarcely believe that this story emanated from the astronomers at Vienna, for had there been the slightest intimation of the appearance of this star it would have been cabled to us at once, as is always done in the case of astronomical news gathered in Europe. The report is probably the unauthorized revival of an old rumor that this star, erroneously called the 'Star of Bethelehem,' was to make its appearance, but as this statement has been made several times since 1884, when the star was looked for by some astronomers, there is doubtless nothing in it. The star referred to was the one discovered by the Tycho Brahe in 1572, and was named for him. It appeared quite suddenly in the constellation of Cassiopeia, and had a brilliancy greater than that of any of the planets, so much so that it was visible in the day time, for certain seconds. It was believed by some that this star had appeared in the same position 312 years before, or in 1260, and assuming, this interval of appearance to be correct, it would have been visible about the time of the Christian era and it was thus termed the Star of Bathelehem.
"If its return was after 312 years, the time of its reappearance would have been in 1884, but nothing has yet been seen of it, although many observers watched for it at that time. Such a phenomenon at the present day would have the highest value to astronomical science, for by the use of modern instruments observations could be taken and information gathered that would be of the greatest assistance in a series of experiments, now in progress. There is, however, so much doubt in the matter that it is of but little use to surmise as to the star's appearance."
Grades.
The time for the semi-annual examinations has now come, and doubtless there will be more good hard work done this week than has been done any week of the term. The thought uppermost in the minds of the majority of the students is what their grades will be. All take a just pride in obtaining high grades, nearly all strive that they may obtain such grades. It is often the case that more care and study is given to this end, than to the pursuing of one's studies which is thus made the means to an end. We review, we cram, we worry, and what for? Not that we may improve ourselves, not that we may broaden our minds and become better and more cultured men and women, but that the professor may make upon our grade books a single straight line instead of ten. Enough has been said about abolishing the grade system. It still remains as a part of our student life and indeed as a much more important part than we may think. But while we still have this system we should let it benefit those of us who need the impulse it gives, but not allow it to be detrimental to those who come here for earnest work. How much better it would be if we could do our work honestly, but not with a fear of obtaining a two or a three and then have time to read the papers, do collateral rea...ing and take a real advantage of the large library which is ut our disposal.
Literary work, which also is so sadly neglected here, might then give the mass of our students that ability to speak well and easily in public, which is no small part of a practical education. However nine tenths of the students have not the ability to make ones in their regular work and do much else. Not desiring to have a grade book full of twos or to be considered poor students, they neglect an important half of their education and confine themselves strictly to their text books. The matter is made worse by the extra work which some of the profs, lay upon their students and which must also be thoroughly well done in order to obtain the desired grade.
Institutions as well as other things get into ruts, and certainly the students of K. S. U. are in a rut, in which they neglect literary and other work for the sake of grades Would that we might forget them and seek in their stead education!

WHAT COLLEGE DOES FOR A MAN.
It gives him some knowledge of Latin and Greek,
Allows a minute's psychological peek.
And teaches him rightly to think and to speak;
Yes, that's what it does for a man.
If he journeys to college all awkward and green
With a black Sunday coat that's been worn into sheen.
It polishes him until his suit is be seen;
Yes, that's what it does for a man.
Perchance he's been appointed at home all his day,
And been led to suppose that he needs caught up praise;
College shows such a man the mistake of his ways,
Yes, that's what it does for a man.
Education in Kansas.
Little flurries of incoherent abuse of the school teachers, late in the State convention assembled, because they were opposed to resubmission in Kansas have awakened an unusual interest in the educator of the prairies, and this interest emboldens the writer to again refer to a subject which has suggested two previous communications.
The free school question was plentifully discussed in the "territorial period," but what was done in the way of establishing a common school system seems to have been done by the Free State party. The first Territorial superintendent of public instruction, James N. Noteware, was appointed in February, 1858, and held office only till December of the same year, when he was succeeded by Samuel W. Greer, who held the office by election for three years. The real business of the office seems to have begun with Mr. Greer. He issued reports and laid foundations generally. His sons, Edward and Frank Greer, have succeeded him in the educational work, Edward as an editor in Kansas and Frank in Oklahoma. John C. Douglas was elected state superintendent in 1860. William R. Griffith was the State superintendent; he was the first and last Kansas State officer to die in office, and was succeeded by Simeon M. Thorp, who was appointed to fill out the term. Mr. Thorp was killed in the Lawrence massacre by Quantrell. Isaac T. Goodnow held office from January, 1863, for four years, and began the regular and prosperous succession of the State superintendents. Mr. Goodnow was one of the five graduates who started the town of Manhattan. In his time was held the first teachers' institute and the first meeting of the State Teachers' association. He still lives to look over the educational orchard he helped to plant. He was succeeded by the Rev. Peter McVicar, who brought from his native Nova Scotia a cool and solid brain, which he used to the State's advantage for
four years. He was followed by big, broad-shouldered Hugh D. McCarty, who was superintendent for four years, and who taught to the end, when he sank dead on the streets at Highland. Then came General John Fraser, the most interesting figure ever known in the work of education in Kansas. A Scotchman with the vivacity and enthusiasm of a Frenchman. A brigadier general in the Union army founder of the University of Kansas, as we know it, dead now, and remembered for his worth and the ingratitude with which he was requited. He was succeeded by Allen B. Lermon, now of California, the most voluminous writer who has held the office. He contributed to a volume of reports of the National Bureau of Education a history of the common school in Kansas, and one of his official reports made over 300 pages. His assistant in office was Wirt W. Walton, cut off in the midst of youth with so much achieved and with such dreams of ambition. Professor Lehmor was succeeded by Henry C. Speer, a teacher and the son of a teacher. He was followed by J. M. Lawhead and he by the present incumbent, George W. Winans, who has more work to do than any of his predecessors and strives very vigorously to perform it.
Still good things move on. The permanent school fund might have been made larger and the compulsory education act might have been enforced, and other reforms suggested by every State superintendent might have been granted, but in spite of all the things that ought to have been done, but were not, the figures look well. In Superintendent Greer's report he proudly calls attention to the fact that Kansas territory has 136 district schools, on which over $6,000 ot public money has been expended within the year; and Professor Canfield's banner, displayed at the State Teachers' association, said: Teachers, 12,000; school fund, $6,000,-000; annual expenses, $5,000,000; and add to that the largest State teachers' association in the United States. That will do, considering that if you go to Lawrence you can meet young-looking men and women who were pupils in the first free school in Kansas.
The common school is the pet and pride of Kansas, but the state maintains the State University, the State Normal and the State Agricultural college. It took a number of years to decide what each of these institutions was for. That has been pretty well settled now. The lower end has been chopped off the University and the bitter jibe of the legislative Solon that it is a "Lawrence high school" no longer applies.
In the histories of the state, in the annals of the neighborhood, we read that the first sod school house in the county was built in such a year. That reveals an instinct which will make the common

school in Kansas prepetual. The first comers on the wild prairie did not wait for the time and change and better days, but built this first house of learning from the very earth. As the bird built its nest from the material of the forest about it, so these built this first alter of knowledge from the turf on which it stood, and roofed it with willows from the stream. The spirit which did this will forever build and forever maintain.—Noble L. Prentis, in Kansas City Star.
Much comment is being made in in the college world concerning the action of the Harvard faculty prohibiting the University Athletic teams meeting any of the colleges outside of New England. The general drift of opinion is unfavorable to the action and censures the action as being cowardly. Cowardly, now doubt it was, but there are a few mitigating circumstances. Poor old Harvard has been humiliated repeatedly, in the last few years, by successive defeats in athletics and the present action is undoubtedly in order *o* escape any more such ignominious defeats as have fallen to her lot at the hands of Princeton and others. It need not be thought however that by refusing to play Harvard will escape defeats in the future. It will only lessen the number, for there are enough colleges in New England to administer Harvard all the drillings she needs.

Our University.
NEVER before has so much interest been manifested in the Universited by the press and people of the state as now.
Strong and judicious management warmly seconded by enthusiastic students have brought this about. The advanced positions taken by the University on scientific and educational questions and the vigorous manner in which they have been maintained, compels attention where she speaks. Her counsels are waited for and eagerly received by other colleges and scientific associations of the state and of the west. In all her history she was never so closely watched and so much talked of as to-day. Her students have caught the inspiration and means are being devised by which the contagion can be spread among our future Legislators. With the discontinuance of the preparatory department and a little more liberal support from the commonwealth she would take ranks among the proudest institutions of our land. The vindictive tirades on the want of religious influences made by some of her contemporary colleges are weak and absurd. Her students are in every way a representative body. Their initiative in everything pertaining to college affairs has been the admiration of the students of other institutions, and just now they are entertaining schemes which, if carried out, will do much to unite the students of the State and materially elevate college spirit. The athletic association contemplates a closer union of college men and who can foretell the good to be derived from such a movement? Let the work go on. The students of other colleges naturally look to us to lead in such things. Let us not disappoint them, and again, all these things help us. By a little energy displayed who can tell how many young men and women may be attracted to the University? And when once within, the fascination is complete! She holds them. She transforms them and sends them out unmeasurably better prepared to meet the battles of life.
The import of the approaching oratorical contest should not be overlooked; but of course the university man will comprehend it. Nothing escapes him. Especially does he never take a back seat in things pertaining to oratory.
The university man must have room to expand. He is constantly bubling over with enthusiasm and ever ready to impart it to others.

NON SINE LACRYMIS.
Tired with old crief's self-pitying moan,
A mile I had not stravel'd.
I was that hour when vernal Earth
And stormy March prepare
To greet the day of April's tearful birth
That I o'come with care.
Rose with the twilight from a diress hearth
And smile of morning's mirth.
Ere my dim path grew dark with double zone
Of men full fair arrayed,
White blent with sound of battle-trumpets
blown
Came, as through light comes shade,
Cries like an understone.
Plummed with tree cloud, March met the way,
With spear-point keen for thrust.
And anger eyes, and hurried form swathed gray
Found his bruised backside in bright letters lay
This scroll which tollers trust:
[The author's]
Wet as from wallering showers and suns,
A small mirror of him.
He held a cup with saidest imageries
Enravena, and round the rim.
Worn, with woe's lip, 1 break out words like these.
These are words that do not fit.
Though sorrow-stained and dim:
Non sine lacrymis.
These passed like regal spetsis crowned,
Stone梅, March and April, late.
And then a sphere-music music slow unwound
its soul mourn the air.
And so as exhalations from the ground,
Oxygen passes from lungs and hearts.
Or spring flowers here and there.
These words rose through the sound:
"Man needs these two in this world's moll, Earth's drought and dwarf of spheres.
Griec's freshening mium to lay the dust of toil.
Toll's dust to dry the tears.
To all who rise as wrestlers in his life's cool
time, gives, with days and years,
the strength to fight.
O Tell in vain without surcense!
O Greet so kind one star!
Think on these words when work or woes in creeat;
Man, made of tears and clay.
Grows to full stature and God's perfect peace,
Non sin pulvinee
Non sin laegratei

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 the facts: We find by his own words and the size of their stock 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! In fact, while others are advertising to close out, we find that the I. C. G. by their prices might always be considered as closing out. It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give the 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 knew 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

Society in Baker University is now greatly agitated over the subject of gentlemen calling on young ladies. The faculty say no, and the boys and girls say yes.

Just at present the four literary societies have it in for the board of trustees, who have made certain rigid rules concerning the societies' lofty to take in honorary members, and other matters of business, that to the mind of a sane person, it is none of the trustees' business and something they had better have left undone. We do not care to comment upon this action now, but will probably have something to say in the future, as it may bring about some results.-Baldwin Item in Journal.
Prof. Templein will conduct the class in Logic and Psychology. Logic will be taught during the first half of the term, and will not alternate with psychology as heretofore.
It is now in order for college papers through the country to "cuss" and discuss the decisions of judges in the varius oratorical contests. These decisions are among the mysteries, which are too deep to probe. But senseless railing at men who, out of kindness towards the students, consent to taking the trouble to look over the and criticize the efforts of young orators, is both unjust, unkind, and ungrateful. Judges are human and when they decide according to their best opinion, students should at least give them credit for sincerity.
It is probably pretty well known now that a new literary society 'for work and mutual improvement' is being or organized. The society is designed to take the place of the old societies of Orophilian and Athenian, which it has been found impossible to maintain on the present slipshod basis. The absurd part of it has been that neither society though both were in a comatose state for a long time, would consent to be merged in the other. So some of the members of each society, together with students outside of both, have combined in good earnest to make a solid working society. Both fraternity and non-fraternity men will be admitted, but the line will be drawn between the worker and the sticks, none of the latter being eligible. The object is to form a society which will be in every way a credit to the University, which will give its members thorough training in public speaking and in the performance of literary work of as high an order as the individual and collective intellects of the members will permit. The organization of the society we understand, will be simple, with few honors attached to it, and consequent absence of political squabbling. The ideal may be high, but the students who are working hard to make it a success, deserve much credit and the hearty support and sympathy of both professors and students.
An interesting page is the one hundred and tenth in the new catalogue of the State University. In tabulated form the growth of the University during the years from 1866 to 1890 is shown, and an inspection of the figures is gratifying to friends of the institution. In total attendance a steady increase is shown from 1866-7 when the University began with 55 preparatory students up to 1873-4. That year a sudden falling off of 99 reduced an attendance of 272 in 1872-3 to one of 173 students. In 1882-3 the attendance was 582, an increase of 139 over the preceding year, and the highest recorded enrollment. In 1883-4 the discontinuance of preparatory studies was begun, and the attendance was reduced to 521. Next year no new students were received in the normal department, as an act of the legislature provided for its abolishment the year after, and a further decrease in attendance is apparent, and with the final doing away with the normal department in 1885-6 the enrollment was reduced to 419. Since then, although preparatory classes have been steadily discontinued, the attendance has grown larger until the present year's enrollment, 527, which is exceeded by but one year's record, the 582 of 1882-3. The collegiate classes show a gratifying increase in size, though the requirements for admission to them have been constantly made more. There is no doubt of the all-around advance of the institution, and its successful future seems assured.

Seats for Unity Club entertainment next Tuesday night are on sale this morning at Crews. Twenty-five cents will be the price for parquette and balcony and fifteen cents for gallery. The play is inactive rehearsal and every effort is being made to put it on in good shape. The stage setting will be elaborate and will add much to the success of the piece. Seats should be secured early as past experience has shown that whenever the Unity Club comes before the public seats are all sold before the night of the entertainment.

We would like to know just out of curiosity whether the local staff on this paper were elected to work on the paper, or simply to read their names every week at the head of a column. For three-fourths—no four-fifths of the issues of the KANSAN, this term, the Local Editor has had to write, or scrape together in some way every word and letter of "local" for the first page of the KANSAN without a particle of assistance from those who are supposed to be assigned to local work. Now this has been getting monotonous for some time, and we concluded to say something. You must recognize that to get up five columns of brevier every week is no snap, particularly when the individual, who has to "get up" said copy, has also a slight connection with a certain institution known as the University, which it is found necessary to maintain. With an average of nearly 2,000 words a week to supply, somehow, with the responsibility for it all, we think that some slight assistance, might justly be expected from the rest of the local staff, who certainly have as much time as the Loca Editor.

MR. PAUL WILKINSON has had charge of the KANSAN this week.
YESTERDAY'S Kansas City Journal contains a number of University items. For a display of consumate ignorance concerning the University several of the items are unsurpassed.
The Baker Beacon in a recent issue makes an able defense of country colleges in small towns and asserts in a manner, hardly to be disputed, that Baker is the best University in the West! Also that Baldwin has about the best society to be found. These statements of the Beacon, like all, are subject to doubt.
The University of Nebraska has abolished the grade system. This is a move in the right direction. Grades are a poor incentive for good work.
D. A. VALENTINE, editor of the Clay Centre Times, has been appointed to the Board of Regents, to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Hon. J. F. Billings. The appointment gives universal satisfaction.
LET's see, was it not the Review that was so strongly in favor of St. Louis as the seat of the World's Fair? It is not positively known whether or not the aiding and abetting of the Review was in any way connected with the rapid falling off of the prospects of St. Louis.
THE successful contestant tonight will be representative of Kansas at Lincoln, Neb., next May.— K. S. U. KANSAN.
THE KANSAN is becoming noted for its joking qualities. It said the same thing last year, you know.— Baker Beacon.
What an imagination the editor of the Beacon has.
In order to do the pyrotechnic in a manner worthy of the glorious victory which our orator is going to win at the state contest. Wash burn's crowd must go to Lawrence in good organization and discipline prepared to beard K. S. U. in heden, and make the University halls re-echo our Washburn war cry. A good yell is the embodiment of college patriotism, and will arouse more enthusiasm for the coming struggle than will any other agency possible. Let a mass meeting be called to choose and practice a yell. If the yell which we had last year is not satisfactory, get another one.—Reporter.
Yes, it is the yell. Let all loyal K. S. U. students turn out, the 14th prox., and as heretofore show the colleges how to yell, Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk K. U.
In the Review for January is an article from the pen of Prof. A. G. Canfield concerning college journalism in general and K. S. U. journalism in particular. The Professor deals admirably with so delicate a subject and his paper is well received, But we think that the first point to be considered is that of time. Attempts have been made at various times to have work on the University journals substituted for work in the English department; but to no avail. So then he who would enter college journalism must expect to "get up his copy" as best he can outside of the line required for his regular three studies. This lack of time results disastrously to the "make up" of the paper. The editor in-chief on being presented with articles for publication by persons not regularly connected with the paper frequently allows some of them to appear, which on mature deliberation he would see would result to no good to the character of his paper and perhaps work evil to the college where published. There are two classes of college journalism; literary and local. The above remarks of course refer to the latter.
HESPERIAN.—Some time ago the Senior class of the University presented a petition to the faculty asking that commencement orations be done a way, and that instead an oration from abroad be secured to address the assembled multitude on commencement day. The faculty have not taken action on the on the petition, so far as we know. If they have what we say may be taken as justification of that action, if favorable, or as a protest against it, if unfavorable. Such a petition, from a class approaching that day which has by time-honored custom come to be day of days for parade and superficial shows of accomplishments, means something. It would not be just to ascribe the action to laziness, to desire to avoid extra work, for the experience of years has shown that to write a graduating oration is a privilege to be striven for, not refused. It is a chance to appear distinguished above one's fellows, to be the cynosure of many eyes. It is, in a sense, an opportunity to represent the institution which has given all the wealth of knowledge which is displayed; to show to the world what a man may become who drinks at this particular fountain of learning. Is a little paltry work to weigh equally in the balance against these privileges? Thousands of commencement orators answer. No more can we ascribe the action to a feeling that the class has no member fit to set before the public as a sample of what a college man or woman should be. Was there ever a class graduated which did not include several such paragons? No., these reasons had little weight in bringing the class to decide against graduating orations. Rather they had come to feel that this mediaeval custom was out of place in the practicality of the present age. It is a survival, and even survivals have limits to their usefulness and proper term of existence. The class of '90 has in sober judgment deemed that limit now to be reached. They have felt that the tinkling rhetoric and the gay flowers, the fine clothes and the admiring audience, are perhaps fitting accompaniments of the lighter pleasures of the college course, but are out of place at the moment when those pleasures are to be exchanged for the stern realities of earning one's living. The exaltation at the close of college life, but makes the contrast greater between the glories of that day and the meanness of the country school or clerkship which follows. They fail to see the necessity for an institution of learning to have an annual "opening" like a mullinery shop or a dry goods store. They fail to see the relation of the pomp and parade of commencement to earnest striving after knowledge. They fail to see that it is just for the public to expect a man to put an epitome of four year's learning, and the result of mental training for a like period, into a ten minute oration. In a word, they refuse to be judged of the world by one brief, dazzling appearance, but prefer to be approved or condemned according their work as men and women, parts of society, is good or bad. The faculty may not see these things in the way we have put them, but we know that some of them are favorable to the granting of the petition. We hope that all feel so, and that the class of '90 may be the first to go out of the University in a sensible, business-like manner, free from all the cant, hypocrisy and vanity so characteristic of the ordinary commencement. Then will the jealousy, wrangling, and heartburnings of aspirants for grauduating honors be stilled. Then will the pique of doting and offended parents have no cause for existence. Then too will graduates be less likely to consider themselves conquering heroes, turned loose for the world to pay hemage to. If this be not the year when custom is to be left in the lurch, and commonsense is to prevail, we pray that our immediate successors may put their case more strongly, and receive the consideration due to the merits of their request.
PROF. BAILEY has been recently making an investigation as to the methods of conducting chemical laboratories in some fifteen of the leading colleges of the country, especially state institutions. He finds that in the majority of cases appropriations are made directly for carrying on the laboratory, while in a few the bills of the department are simply presented for payment to the Treasurer. More than half of these laboratories are self-supporting, but it is notable in such cases that the expenses to the individual students are greater. In all but two cases deposits for breakage are required of students, and any balance unexpended is paid them at the end of the term. This amount varies from $2.00 per term of fourteen weeks to $25.00 per term, and in several a general laboratory charge of from $10.00 to $70.00 per year is made for material consumed. Many other practical points and suggestions have been brought out by the correspondence.
The Right Kind of Enthusiasm.
PITTSBURG, Kans., Jan. 23. '90.
EDITOR KANSAN: I have been very much pleased by the efforts of the students of the University to establish a gymnasium at the University. I, as a prospective student next year, and as one which has tested the inconvenience of being without a place to take exercise at the University before, am heartily in favor of pushing this scheme to a good end. I am not on the ground to help push the good cause, but as I am not, the next best thing to do is to send in my subscription. Enclosed you will find draft for five dollars ($5), which place on the subscription list. Please give my regards to the boys and tell them that I expect to be up to the University to the Oratorical contest. Yours truly,
GEO. H. PLAYTER.

The Kansas Crusade.
Ex-Governor Robinson was greeted with a crowded house at the meeting of the Unity club last Monday night; extra seats had been provided and all were full. The Governor took for his subject Eli Thayer's book and taking it for granted that many of his hearers had not read the book, he quoted from it to a considerable extent. The principle topics were first—What did the Emigrant Aid Society do to make Kansas a free State? Second—Did the Garrisonians do as much towards the abolition of slavery as they claim? These with a talk about John Brown and his Kansas work and Jim Lane introduced incidentally gave spice to the talk which did not claim to be a lecture but a home-like discussion of the early history of Kansas. Gov. Robinson was in his best mood and held the close attention of his audience from first to last. B. W. Woodward and others took part in the discussion that followed, giving their experience in some of the incidents mentioned. The meeting was a decidedly pleasant and profitable one and it seems a pity that every young man and woman in the city could not have heard it. Unity Club does excellent work in giving our citizens an opportunity to hear some excellent lectures and its cordial invitation to all is responded to heartily. Papers by John Hutchings, Judge Emery and Prof. Blake are announced in the near future. Next week will be devoted to the drama, when the club will present Howell's capital farce, "The Garroters."
OUR pen is too feeble and our brain is too weak to adequately describe the first session of The Hes. perian election held on Monday last. Suffice to say that the two candidates for editor-in-chief were H. C. Peterson from the Unions and J. B. Fogarty from the Delians, supported by the Paladians. The freedoms of both candidates were numerous and they were mostly present—vociferously present. A ballot was taken, then a supplementary ballot, and at last the highways of the earth were raked to make an appendix to the ballot. Then after an hour of pleasant parliamentary (?) exercise, in which "points of order" seem to predominate, an adjournment was carried by one vote, after the ballot on the editorship had been announced, under protest, to be Forgarty 59, Peterson 51. Fogarityities claim the legality of the election and the Petersonites claim illegality. Every indication points to a settlement either amicably or by a war of extermination between many days. —Hesperian.
And notwithstanding the fact that the above parties are all barbs The Hesperian devotes most of its editorial and exchange departments in every issue to maligning fraternities and assigning the blame for all college broils to the "wicked Greeks."

H. F. M. Bear, Editor-in Chief of the Review, the Successful Contestant.
The Seventh Annual Oratorical contest, held in University Hall last Friday evening was of unusual interest and the speakers made a most creditable appearance The audience was better than is customary on such occasions and the speakers were well appreciated by the audience.
Dr. Marvin delivered the invocation, and after music by a mandolin and guitar club, Jus. D. Bowersock spoke on "Some American Philosophy." Mr. Bowersock is a pleasant appearing young man and has an easy and yet forcible delivery. His oration was of a speculative style and in it the speaker took a favorable view of the present American tendency.
Mr. A. L. Burney, of Harrisonville, Mo., spoke on "Benedict Arnold." Mr. Burney has a good presence and a strong manly voice. His delivery suffered from the effects of a recent illness. The oration was a historical one and displayed clearly before the audience the chacter of the notorious American.
C. S. Hall, of Bogard, Mo., had as a subject, "Are We One?" He decided that we are one, the we being the people of the United States. Mr. Hall is not a trained speaker and his delivery was somewhat constrained, but a powerful voice helped out, an otherwise rather weak delivery. The oration was well received by the audience.
Mr. John A. Mushrush, of Topeke, Kas, who spoke on "John Quincy Adams, and the Right of Petition," is a veteran on the college rostrum and exhibited a pleasing self-possession. A quiet conversational manner distinguished his delivery. His oration showed careful preparation, and reviewed in an analytical manner the public service of John Quincy Adams.
Mr. W. W. Russ, of Lawrence, spoke of "A Nation's Danger." Chas. Scott would call this oration "Jeremiai." Mr. Russ was ill at ease in his delivery, though exhibiting a commendable earnestness. His oration called attention to the dangers of American society.
Mr. H. F. Bear, of Paola, Kansas, spoke on "The Growth of Government." Mr. Bear's delivery was the most striking of the evening, and it made an evident impression on the audience. He was interrupted by applause. His extreme earnestness, and great care in pronunciation, combined with appropriate and graceful gestures made him a prime favorite. His oration traced the growth of government from the simple, despotic priest-craft of the savage tribes, to the enlightened democratic government of the modern republics. He was awarded first place by the
judges to the evident satisfaction of the audience and contestants. His lead over his opponents is remarkable, and is almost unprecedented in local contests.
The judges rankings are as follows:

"Business is business!" the cool scamp replied;

A Newspaper Cliping.
Twas a clipping from the paper
Telling of some funny caper
On the stage;
So I read to every letter,
Saying that I didn't better
For an age.
Then I turned the clipping over
With no purpose to discover
What was there,
But in smiling contemption
Of the humourist's creation,
Rich and rare
As I looked I know I started
And the smile from lips departed,
For I saw,
Printed the uncut column,
Notices of death, sad solemn,
Full of awe.
So, I thought, confried and pleasure,
Meted out with equal measure;
You may laugh.
For some other one is wailing,
For the tear is smiles unfailing
Other half.

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 the facts: We find by his own words and the size of their stock 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! In fact, while others are advertising to close out, we find that the I. C. G. by their prices might always be considered as closing out. It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give the 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 knew they would not have
em 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
