One of the most enterprising of all the exchanges which come to us is the University COURIER, of the Kansas State University. Its columns are full of exceedingly interesting reading matter. The enterprise of the COURIER is well shown by the Anarchist dress in which its Christmas number appeared.—The Knox College Coup d'Etate.

The First of Numberless Chapters in the Existence of the New Literary
HAPPILY BEGUN
Over twenty students met last Friday evening in Orophilian hall with a clear and firm determination to organize a new literary society—a society worthy the vim and vigor of K. S. U.
A temporary organization made Mr. Barnes chairman and Mr. Baket Secretary.
Mr. Roberts stated in a clear and healthy way the objects of the meeting. When he finished, no one doubted for a moment what was to be done, and everybody went to work with a will to do it.
The following committees were appointed: On constitution, Roberts, Curry and Hadley. On plan of work, Sears, Roberts, Morris, Brown and Whitman.
The first and wisest thing done was the unanimous approval of Mr Rrbert's motion to petition the Faculty to credit in the English course all work done by the members on essays, orations and forensics. Mr. Roberts was placed in charge of the petition and instructed to present it as soon as possible. The society's first transaction shows a future policy commendable in the highest degree. If this petition is granted, the good resulting will be incalculable. Then the society will be compelled to raise a standard of careful and earnest work. The battles won around such a standard will be victories of inestimable benefit.
Besides this, Mr. Roberts presented the following resolutions:
1. That the meetings shall be held with closed doors except when opened for special entertainments.
2. That all graduates of the University aed the members of the Faculty be made honorary members.
3. That the members shall be students only of the collegiate school.
4. That the ladies be excluded from membership
The rest of the evening was spent in an earnest and animated discussion of these resolutions. The first and second of these were adopted, but the third and fourth were post-poned for consideration. They will be acted upon to-night.
The first two bear upon their face the stamp of wisdom, and we command the action that approved them; but as for the last one it meets our hearty condemnation. Unwise and ungenerous, it shows
a tonch of prejudice and intolerance distinctly at war with the broad and liberal brinciples of our enlightened civilization. Any reasons of a local origin that may have prompted this resolution, will have no weight against arguments that appeal so strongly to all that is noblest among us. The time when women must beg for justice is passed. Kansas hears no prayers tor equal rights. The first to raise above the grave of prejudice the flag of freedom, she was the first to found an institution that knew no race, no sex, no condition. It is very probable that the new society will think twice before it excludes the ladies from its membership.
The society meets to-night when its organization will be completed.
The Coming Event.
Messrs. Hickey, Curry and Sears, of the new executive committee of the Oratorical Association show a spirit of energy and enterprise that is highly gratifying. Besides a prompt and careful conduct of all the business connected with the coming contest, they are preparing a program that is calculated to win them unstinted praise. Not the least pleasant part of the program will be music—both vocal and instrumental.
Mr. Curry, who has charge of the instrumental, will add to the program selections by piano, orchestra and Mandolin Club.
Mr. Sears, who has charge of the vocal, has been equally as fortunate in his arrangements. Besides solos by distinguished vocalists, a double quartette, that has been recently organized, will render some popular selections. The quartette is composed of the following students: Peabody and Scheffer. 1st. tenors; Nowlin and Baker. 2nd-tenors; Swank and Barnes. 1st. bassos; and Sears and Krebhel. 2nd bassos. The singers are under the careful directions of Prof. McDonald, who has kindly lent his excellent help. There is every reason to believe that the part of the entertainment given by the quartette will be more than satisfactory, if not delightful. This is sure at least, nothing will imprese our visitors more than this exhibition of the University's enterprising spirit.
The committee in charge of the ball are confident of a flattering success. Armory hall has been secured, and tickets and invitations have been printed and issued. The committee will spare no pains to make this event an honor to the generous hospitality of K. S. U.
So you see everything points to a grand time on the day when K. S. U. is to add new laurels to her wreath.

A CONTEST.
Of Another Kind, Where the Eloquence of the Orator Went to Pieces before the Masterly Strokes of the Politician. An Interesting Election.
The annual meeting of the Oratorical Association last Friday afternoon will be remembered. Careful and conscientious to every interest of the Association, it will go down in history as a remarkable chapter in the political wars of K. S. U.
The meeting was called to order by Vice-President Hickey and without any delay business was promptly begun.
Mr. Virtue was the first on his feet with an amendment to the constitution that sought to shield the rights of the non-iraternity members from the possible mischief of the frats. The amendment provided that in the event a non-iraternity man should join a fraternity he must at once turn over his share to a special committee. Without any opposition or discussion the amendment was unanimously passed.
Right here the results of some ingenious political scheming unhesitatigny came to the surface The Phi Gam, Sigma Chi and Sigma Nu long headed politicians had secured the promise of the barbs, if in return they would vote for this amendment to the Constitution. The triangle combination remained true to the promise and then followed one of the cleverest frat vities ever known to the political anal's of K. S. U. The Triumvirate was gratified to its heart's content, the Phi Psis and Betas were left to freeze in the cold, while the Phi Delts ran a little race of their own and came under the wire in fine style. The following is the result of an election that gave to each a handsome majority: President, Jus. D. Bowersock; Vice-President, W. W. Brown; Secretary, W. D. Ross; Treasurer, W. E. Royster; Delegate, N. C. Brooks; and Executive Committee: M. E. Hickey, C. H. Sears and W. E. Curry. The committee provided by the new amendment was elected as follows: C. S. Hall, E. C. Hickey and D. R. Krehlbiel.
Following the election Mr. Craig presented a resolution to oenote all net receipts of the association to needy the treasury of the Athletic Aassociation. Opposition, that smattered more of sore craniums than of reason or justice, was made by Messrs. Hadley and Brown. After some purile filibustering the resolution was defeated.

In the midst of the manifold duties of student, one thing is too much neglected by more than one-half of the young men in college. That one thing is the reading of the daily papers. Nowhere is this more clearly shown than in our literary societies. Why don't you read newspapers? Is it because you have no time, are not interested in them, or cannot afford to buy them? Then take time; get interested in them by forming the habit of reading them every day; you need not buy them. Go to the library, and on its tables you will find the leading dailies, placed there for your benefit.
PROF. A. G. Canfield's "Observations on University Journalism," form an able and admirable article in the January Review.
The journalism of K. S. U. — 'that important factor in college life,'—was never more severely, though justly, hacked to pieces.
While we acknowledge, with a humble bow, the numerous faults that our talented critic heaps at our door, we beg not to be thought presumptuous if we present a few remarks in extenuation of so sweeping a criticism.
We welcome the fatherly censure and sympathy; we cannot but think, however, that this manifestation of interest has been rather tardy. Never before has the Faculty or any member of it shown the slightest concern as to the result of the students' efforts in journalism.
There is an ideal for everything: College life and college journalism have theirs. Prof. Canfield has painted them. There have been exalted hopes for the realization of every Utopia, but practica experience, stern realities and stubborn facts have proved them all to be but the "baseless fabric of a dream." We may be wrong, but we are inclined to think that, in this respect, our college world is not much unlike the great outside one.
Offering no excuse whatsoever for slang and personality, we beg to ask how the professor expects his ideal to be consummated when Time—that great necessity in a student's life—is not adequate for the profitable pursuit of regular college studies, together with elaborate efforts at journalism. Does he count the haste necessary to the composition and publication of the weekly papers?
Are we lead to believe that the professor desires to make our weekly papers journals of a strictly literary character? We have reasons to believe that the weekly college papers do not generally have this object in view, their mission being simply to present the news of the week. But at the most, this is simply a matter of personal taste, and should such papers choose to follow such a policy, surely no one will gainsay them the right, or deny that they have excellent reasons for such a course,
But we are glad that Prof Canfield has expressed himself as he has For many years the journalism of K. S. U. has merited the censure that it has at last received. The shoe fits tolerably well and we will endeavor to wear it despite the occasional pinches.
THE Washburn Reporter was one of the anxious attendants at our recent contest. The following spicy editorial exhibits more vanity and supremacy than is usually given to the average biped. The way the Reporter has of tickling the sides sf the inevitable disaster is simply marvelous.
There were six contestants. Of these, Bear, Nushrush and possibly Burney, only three, gave evidence of oratorical ability. Burney who had the most natural delivery and was perhaps better fitted for an orator than any other speaker of the evening, had evidently not worked on his oration. Mushrush was the only man on the program who showed experience in speaksng Bear won the contset. He had a walk away with the judges. His oration contained deep thought but it was scarcely arranged in oratorical style. He showed ability as a writer but had no effective climax. He was scholarly, not eloquent. He began his oration in the most impressive style which he neither increased nor diminished during his effort. He began each sentence on middle C and ended on the C below. This was occasionally varied by running the last word from C below up to the C above. His delivery was monotonous. Nevertheless he has an earnestness an impressiveness about his delivery that might almost be described as magnetic. He lacked elocution and this was the characteristic of every speaker on the contest.
THE following are extracts from an article in the Washburn Reporter on Bear's oration: "His oration contained deep thought but was scarcely arranged in oratorical style. He has ability as a writer, but had no effective climax. He began his oration in a most impressive style which he neither increased nor diminished during his effort, making his delivery monotonous."
To all those who heard Bear's oration it must be evident that the Washburn critic was either blinded by prejudice or had no qualifications for the work upon which he was detailed.
We will welcome you on the fourteenth Washburn and are quite content to leave the decision as to the merits of our favorite until that time.
It strikes us that the very things in which Bear excelled were his effective elimax and the easy and natural progression from one division of his subject to the other.
However the discussion of the merits of our respective men is futile. The Judges are all powful and the idle cant of prejudiced parties will not influence them in the least.
THE faculty of Dickinson college, Pennsylvania has decreed that young men and maidens must not walk to recitation together. The bell is rung twice. At the first tap the girls go to the schoolroom. Two minutes later the young men are summoned. In the time of Caliph Al Raschid the girls had to go about with their faces veiled The faculty of Dickinson College, co-educational, seem to have overlooked this precaution. The system at Dickinson might be termed differential coeducation. -Journal
ONE of the Chicago papers has charged the Faculty of Monmouth College with encouraging plagiarism on the part of their orators. Unfortunately there are occasionally good grounds for bringing this accusation against contestants themselves, but to attempt to implicate the Faculty in the matter is the height of folly. The college press of the state seems to take a very fair and sensible view of the case. The general impression is that some bitterly disappointed contestant is responsible for the candal.
The Faculty and studnets of Washburn are having a row. The Faculty has laid down the law and the students are asserting their inherited rights to declare war.
A Righteous Row.
The Faculty of this worthy institution has decreed that its young ladies shall not attend the contest held here on the 14th The young ladies are very naturally modestly objecting. This last act of the Faculty is but the climax of numerous rigid and unjust regulations that have been forced upon the students. The Washburn Faculty seems to be decidedly Salonic in its way and the students after much suffering are now violently declaring their independence. With our protest against injustice we extend a hearty sympathy to the ladies.
---
A Glee Club, it will be.
The double quartette that has been gathered for the state contest has determined to permanently organize and become the neules for a creditable Glee Club This is the realization of a hope ong expressed among the students of K. S. U. We commend the gentlemen for their loyalty and enterprise.
The club will be judiciously strengthened and placed under the care and direction of some competent instructor. It is already one of no mean ability, and with careful addition K. S. U. will soon have a musical organization that she may well be proud of.
The Senior Pharmies.
The Seniors of the Pharmacy school are up and doing. They propose to be on time with their quineine and orations should the heavens fall. They met last Monday to organize and prepare for class day. The wiary politician didn't amount to much in the contest for honors, but they could never have been placed better. Salutarian, L.S. Hackett; Valedictorian, Ben Fiegenbaum; Class Historian, Cal Phillips; Pill Orator, H. A. Adams; and Class Orator, O. W. Thomas.
---
Just and Sensible.
At a meeting of the Faculty last Wednesday evening the petition presented by the new literary society praying that essays, orations and written debates prepared by the members [be substituted for themes, was granted.
This is a great victory for the society and a commendable act of the Faculty. An act that is sure to work great good for the society. It is an act indicative of much sense and justice.
Ueity Club.
Next Monday night Prof. Snow will give a highly interesting paper or talk before this club on "The Distribution of Animals on the Earth."
The lecture cannot fail to interest and instruct. Unity Club is so cordial with its invitations to students that there should be a large attendance.

Cogitations and Reflections.
BY JEREMIAH ISRAELITE, PUNKIN- HEAD.
Now, Bill there haint no use in talkin' so,
For I will never let ye jine no frat;
I send ye off to git a schollin' boy,
And not to fool yer time away like that.
When Neighbor's Smith's son Tom came home last term;
He spilged around right smart and looked
uite pert,
He seemed to be all fired afraid of dirt.
And wore kid gloves and collars to his
chin;
Now, Bill, what d'ye reckon Tom 'ell be,
if goin't to yer school makes him a swell,
And sayin't to us farmers stuck up words;
Say, d'yde think such boys 'ell pan out well?
I put that question to the fine young gent.
And, boy it took him back a peg or two;
"And so ye think we turn out swells"
"said he."
And call them students up at K. S. U?
*Wall, Tom," said I. "I don't believe all be,
But what new books teach ye to fling style so?
Do ye keep fashion plates at K. S. U.
if it is clothes yer father's dollars go?
*But would ye have us lookin' slouchy sir,
And wear clear out a studyin' all the while?
And d'y'e think because we're dressed up well.
That that's a sign we'e puttin' on the style?"
Wall, Bill, he got me mad before he stopped;
He said he thought good-fit'in' clothes take well;
And, boy, I guess they do to judge from him;
But, say, who was McGlury, can you tell?
He said good frats are always neatly dressed;
He'd rather be a barb with paper cuffs,
They a m, he says, to look the best they can
He'd rather be a burb with paper cuffs,
Than any slouchy, rough and poor trat
man.
Now, Bill if frases in make ye put style on, and talk so nice to girls and all of that. I tell me, Bill there haunt no use to talk. I’ll never let you jine no stuck up frat.
Now, Bill, jean clothes are good enough for you
Fine ones will never help ye in yer book.
Just keep a peggin' at yer lessons, Bill,
and never care a tarnal bit for looks.

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

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEB. 14, 1890.
K. S. U., With Her "Rock Chalk Jay Hawk" Extends Her Hand of Creeting and Hospitality.
A Sketch of Each Orator, and Many Bits That Will Interest You.
The COURIER welcomes the day! It is glad of the night! To every orator and to every visitor it extends a hearty welcome-each and all of ye are thrice welcome
To-night's the night! Everybody thinks so and there is no doubt about it. To-night will crown a victor and hold an inquest over death stricken hopes. To-night will decide the momentous question of the hour; it will decide what man will wear a wreath and what college will shout the loudest; whether 'our' Bear will succeed in hitching his wagon to the stars and whether "Rock-chalk! Jay-hawk -K.-U"'- will be the watch-word of the night and the death-knell of a defeated host.
Lawrence is already astir with the new faces; already has she thrown wide open her arms to welcome and receive. To-day will be a red-letter day in the history of the kindness and hospitality of K. S. U. Nor will K. S. U. forget the day-hearts will be opened and guests will be entertained as they never were before.
Everybody now is wild over the result of the coming struggle. Each orator comes to the arena with a strong and loyal backing. To your question, "Who will win?" each fellow shouts his college yell and swears by his man. A noble loyalty that! From all that the COURIER can ascertain, the heaviest betting seems to lie between Bear and Naylor. A dark horse has not yet been spotted, but some believe there is one.
Believing that a short sketch of each of the Orators would not fail to please, the COURIER set to work with that end in view. It is fortunate in presenting the following
Robert M. Ruggles was born at Emporia, Feb. 9, 1871. When he was eight years old, his father, Judge R. M. Ruggles, was untimely taken off. His widow and family then moved to the country where they now live. Robert attended the country schools until 1883, when he entered the
SKETCHES.
preparatory department of the State Normal; and, with the exception or one year at a military school in Philadelphia he has been a regular attendant. The Normal is another institution that is blessed with a chair of oratory, and Mr. Ruggles has wisely taken advantage of it. With the exception of one literary contest, the recent local contest was his first. But he jumped at once to the top, and though his oration to-night is a maiden effort, we have reasons to believe that it will be a creditable and promising one. Though uncertain where he will complete his education, Mr. Ruggles has decided to cast his fortune at the bar of justice, and we have no doubts but that he will soon become a sparkling legal light—an honor to his calling.
[In the pleasant letter from which we secured the facts for the above sketch, Mr Ruggles gave us a bit of wit too good to keep. To his rough statement of facts he laconically adds the following P.S.: 'I forgot to say that I will die at Lawrence, Feb. 14, 1890.']
H. Lee Prescott, the Wesleyan orator, was born at Salina, Kans, in 1870. As a graduate of the Salina High School, he entered the K.W.U. in 1888. Mr. Prescott has received an excellent oratorical training in that department of his University. In the two contests he has entered he has won first and second places. He is a distinguished member of the leading literary society of his University and is now Editor-in-Chief of the Wesleyan Lance.-A journal by the way, that honors the institution. Mr Prescott is a Republican in politics and an Episcopalian, in religion. Determined and ambitious, he is a man of undoubted ability, destined to make his mark in the world,
S. W. Naylor, Washburn's orator is a Kansan by birth. He entered the preparatory department of Washburn in '82 and he hopes to finish bis education at Princeton in '93. Mr. Naylor has enjoyed the benefit of exceptionally good oratorical training and in tour contests he has twice been winner, and twice won third place. It is the noble purpose of Mr. Naylor to devote his life to missionary work. He is a brilliant man and what ever he does, he is sure of distinction.
E. Y. Hill was born in Mound Valley in 1860, but his home now is at Grenola, Kansi. He entered Baker without much special pre-
paration. He is now a prominent member of the of the class of '90. He has received considerable professional training in Oratory under Prof. G. W. Hoss of Baldwin. As a master debater he wares a gold medal won at Baker. He has been in but one oratorical contest. After taking his degree at Baker he expects to finish his education at Harvard. He will then begin the practice of Law. Mr. Hill is now manager of the Baker University Index and as a young man of exceptional ability he is bound to rise in the world.
E. G. Marshall was born on a farm near Arkansas City, Kansin 1868 (?) He was graduated from the Arkansas City High School in 1887. He then entered Monmouth College, and though not a regular attendant, he intends to take his degree at this instituto finish there.
Mr. Marshall has taken several courses in oratorical training-one at the Kansas City School of Oratory. He has been in but one oratorial contest, where he won easily first place. As yet Mr. Marshall has determined upon no profession, but he aims high and if he lives we shall hear from him.
Harvey F. M. Bear, the talented orator of K. S. U., was born in Paola, June 4. 1869. After graduating from the the High School of his native place he entered the State University in 1886. He is one of the brilliant members of the class of '90 and as a student he shows an enviable and admirable record. He has had no professional training in oratory, and the recent contest, at which he was the winner, was his first. Mr. Bear expects to enter the Law School next year. And we predict for him a future of bright and brilliant successes.
[We received no reply to our communication to Mr. H L. Parker, the Ottawa orator, and consequently he must go "unsketched," but we hope not unsung.]
The Executive Committee, Messrs, Hickey, Curry and Sears have been working like beavers in completing their plans and arrangements. Their work has been done well and they are confident of a big success.

—Some of the Various Things
That Have Interested the
Students on Mt. Oread.
SOME one had better resurrect the old Standing Room only cards. The indications are that the chapel will will be filled to over flowing.
MANY of the boys plans for profitable speculation were ruined, when the Executive Committee limited the number of tickets to be sold to each person.
The "Kansan" election was held last Friday at the University. The Phi Delta Thetares resigned and now are waiting for developments. The Sigma Chis severed their connection with the "Kansan" some time before.
The delegates and orator from Baldwin spent their Monday's vacation in Lawrence and K S U. looking for pointers regarding our orator and for straws that would show how the state election would go.
Let every one attend the contest to-night. Bring your girl and all her folks and let them hear Rock chalk—Jay Hawk—K-U— as it is going to sound for Bear.
J. F. Carlson was unable to attend his classes this week on account of sickness.
The Sigma Nus gave a very pleasant party in their hall last Friday evening.
The Phi Delta entertained their lady friends in the A. O. U. W. hall last Friday evening.
Mac Shields a student of last year came in last Wednesday and will remain for the contest.

Baldwin bought 240 tickets and wanted more. They will see K. S. U. in her glory, with Bear as conqueror.
THE rush commenced last Tuesday noon. When the sale of seats was begun for the oratorical contest, over fifty people were in line
THE faculty at Baldwin are making the souls of the students weary with "orders" and "decrees." Every one that comes to Lawrence to hear Bear must go through a solemn ordeal in which he swears not to attend the dance, not to play billiards, nor to get into fights with K. S. U. students
The mutterings of discontent among the Washburn students are still heard rumbling. Take our advice Lower the red flag. Shake the dust of the college from your pedal extremities and come ye to K S U, where there are not such dread and dire edicts promulgated by the faculty.
THE students of K.S.U. extend through the columns of the COURIFR a hearty welcome to all visiting students. We are glad to have you with us and in the fellowship of kindred aims we grasp your hands and welcome you to the "Boston of Kansas"
THERE is some dissatisfaction expressed on account of the manner in which the sale of seats for the contest was conducted. The growlers however are only those who were negligent in the matter and have no one to blame but themselves.
The Associations.
The assembly of the different Y. M. and Y. W. C. A's represented in the contest will meet at 4 o clock this afternoon, at the First Presbyterian chruch. Every thing points to a grand meeting and the students are given a cordial invitation to attend.
After the contest the Associations of K. S. U. will hold a reception for all those who do not care to attend the Ball. The University will be open from top to bottom and the visiting students will be given the full freedom of the same.
This reception will be another means of pleasant entertainment and the Associations are to be congratulated for proposing so clever a plan.
The Freshman class in elocution has 65 members. Are we all going to be orators?
Mr. Geo, R. Shane the genial photographer kindly places his elegant waiting rooms at 615 Mass. St. at the disposal of the students. He has a fine library, a fine gallery of pictures and an elegant piano in his superbly furnished parlors'. And if you are to meet a friend down town or have a few moments to spare step in and be sure of a kindly welcome. All visiting students will please regard 615 Mass. St. as general headquarters.
The State Y. M. C. A. convention will meet here to-day,
A LITTLE FAITH.
Extract From the Memoirs of the
Compte de la Bakeriano.
A Sojourn in the Land of the Baldwigians, a State in the Kingdom of Lilliput.
"During the time that I remained in this most estimable country, I left no opportunity unimproved to acquaint myself with the manners, customs and institutions of so strange a people. With my guide and interpreter, I visited, on a fine spring day, their college, a most notable structure, and, as I was informed by my guide, the most renowned in all the world. I must confess that I was surprised to see the discipline and order that prevailed in this musty old building. My surprise at this was not of long duration, for when, after two sharp, shrill whistles, not unlike our police calls, rang out, the massive doors which closed upon the sacred precincts of the chamber of consultation of the faculty, opened, and there stalked forth, in all the majesty and dignity that was allowed by reason of carrying an immense placard, a learned man, with wig awry and closely followed by his compatriots and admirers. This placard he proceeded to hang over the door which led out upon the street. Then those reminiscences of a by-gone age ranged themselves in two lines on either side. Upon another whistle being heard, they slowly raised their hands and with warning glances pointed to the placard above the door, while they uttered in sepulchral tones to each student, as through the lines he passed the word "Epping" which my guide told me meant "obey." With melancholy mien each student as he passed, placed his hand upon his breast and said "Hellhades." which I was told meant the same as our "amen."
The last student having left the building, the learned men returned to their first position with a salute, then after a low obeisance, they spoke and said "Tis well, they shall obey," then fell in line and in solemn march departed.
I was much astonished, and plied my guide with questions to which he answered me that it was the custom of the students of the Baldwiginses to hold a trial of strength of voice with the Laurientienses once per year. That the strongest voice from each college was chosen to compete and that this year it would take place in the city of Laurientien, and as much enthusiasm was exhibited by the students of both colleges, the august body had seen fit to add a a few more stringent rules to their already large curriculum. I secured a translation of the placard from my guide, and I treasure it as a flt specimen of the style of government in the land Baldwigienses.
DECREE FACULTATE, NO. 11401.
In view of the fact that the yearly trial of skill in the strength of voice now approacheth, and that as many students will accompany the competitor to that wicked and pernicious city, Laurientien, where there are deceptions of all kinds. Be it decreed, therefore:
1. That no student shall attend any of the numerous dances there under pain of expulsion.
II. That no student shall enter any ten-pin alley, shooting gallery, billiard hall or place where soda water is sold, under penalty of ten days on bread and water and the displeasure of the faculty
III. That no shouting or expression of enthusiasm shall occur during their stay in that city, but the students shall conduct themselves as is becoming to good and righteous students in that home of the unfaithful,
IV. That those who wish to accompany the competitor must subscribe to these rules, and in token of his obedience, kiss the sacred toe nail of his holiness, the Chief Magister,
DEGREE FACULTATE NO.
Having the great responsibility of caring for the youth and maidens of the land, and that their thoughtlessness in many cases has caused us to hear taunts, declaring that many of our rules are not enforced, we do hereby bring up the rule made in the year 14 and revive it. Be it decreed therefore,
I That no student shall call upon any young lady in her room, but that if any student wishes to speak to any maiden he must first signify his intent to the faculty and secure their permission. A professor will be appointed to accompany him and see that no words of love are spoken.
Those rules, I was informed by my guide, were to be stringently enforced as it was the custom of the people to judge of the standing of the college by the number of rules and the severity of their enforcement."
There are many interesting facts in the Comte's memoirs which we may give some future time.
---
A. J.Kanavel of Winfielde college was in town last Wednesday. He says the college is anxious to enter the Oratorical Association. The college has about 150 collegiate students not counting the Business College and Normal Department. The students he describes as bright wide-awake fellows and if they are like Mr. Kanavel we are sure they are.

The second meeting or the new literary society was just as earnest and enthusiastic as the first. Though the night was threatening the meeting showed an increased attendance.
Mr. Barnes was prompt in sounding the gavel and the business of permanent organization was at once begun.
In the absence of Mr. Clarence Sears,Mr Roberts reported in behalf of the Committee on name, motto, colors and plan of work. He said that the Committee had not as yet fully determined upon motto, colors and plan of work but had upon a name. They unanimously reported to name the new society "The Kansas Literary Club." After a little debate the society adopted the new name—and a better one we believe, could not have been chosen. The new christening shows well the high purpose and stirring plans of the new organization.
Mr. Whitman then reported for the Committee on Constitution.
The work of discussing and adopting it was unusually animated and the lights were turned out long before the last article of the important instrument was reached.
The section which provided for the exclusion of the ladies met with the strongest discussion. Roberts fought manfully for its adoption but his petted plan met with fell disaster. Just as the COURIER had predicted the measure was uncompromisingly "sit on." And we want to add that the new position of the club could not have been more graceful. Whether the young ladies desire to join the new club or not they will be pleased to know that they can if they want to—and that's a pleasant idea to most Americans.

We heard that they wanted money We wanted goods, and seeing that peculiar twinkle in Bayless' eye, we knew that something was going to turn up Now here are facts: We find by his own words that they have too much for the inner man, and judging by the effect their goods have on themselves we had better while cheap get on the outside of some ourselves.
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A RIDE JUMP ON! WE ARE GOING TO THE I. C. G. STORE.
Can't remember that we ever bought goods so low! It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give proof by making prices. You remember when we were on the car of overhearing one person whisper in the ear of a friend that they always went to the I. C. G. STORE to get prices even if they did buy of some one on credit, for then they would not have to pay them too much on any goods in their line. So, thinking the matter all over and knowling 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

VOL. VIII.
WASHBURN WINS.
A Struggle That Gave to Naylor the
Wreath of Victory And to
Sover j—Nothing
Just as the COURIER said Friday night was the night of nights for the students of Kansas—but what a night it proved to be for K. S. U.
University Hall was jammed and crammed full—from pit to dome it was jammed and crammed.
H. Lee Prescott was the first orator Pres. Hayden introduced, with "Richard III" as his subject. Mr. P is a tall, sharp featured young man whose black eyes have a way of speaking. Though a little monotonous, he showed oratical ability of not a little merit—but more mechanical polishing, I am afraid.
The contest was one of the most brilliant ever fought on the red soil of "bloody Kansas." Each orator took his post with the seeming determination to win,—but there was but one Aajx among them: all fell but him
Bear stood manfully for K, S. U. and K, S. U stood loyally for Bear—but alas he fell—but it was a brilliant fall.
The Kansas University Glee Club made its debate and it was a most creditable one. If loud applause counts for anything, the boys ought to feel proud of their first effort.
S. W. Naylor, of Washburn College, delivered his striking oration the "Puritan and Cavalier in our National Life," in a most striking manner. Tall, well proportioned, handsome—with a bright eye and a good head—Mr. Naylor made a decided impression. His delivery was exceptionally good—by far the best of the evening. His oration was a powerful one. The Judges thought all this and treated him accordingly.
When H. F. M. Bear-you know him—you know his quiet, gentle, yet earnest manner—his brilliant eyes, his beaming, intelligent face his weak, but graceful figure—when Bear stood up to begin his oration on "The Growth in Government"—the loyal blood of K. S. U, went wild—it was a heavy reception—Bear's was. Bear—what shall we say of his effort? Was it his best? We don't believe it was. Was it good—yes it was that and more—it was excellent. What then was the matter? Simply this: His delivery was the matter—though earnest, it wanted the polish and dexterity that gave to Naylor his enviable place. But Bear did well—he honored K. S. U. with his effort—and K. S. U. is still proud of him.
The Baker girls—the singers made a great hit. Their singing was about as good Hill's oration. Every body joined the Baker boys in applauding them.
Their good sense placed him at the top of the heap—the victor.
R. L. Parker of Ottawa University, was the biggest and oldest man of the lot. In thunder tones he asked "Shall the Illiterate Vote?" Mr. P. had a way of sawing the air with his right hand that was peculiarly odd.
Ed. Marshall, of Emporia College, talked eloquently about the "Huguenots." Tall, straight as a Baker preacher, his Roman nose had a musical ability about it that was wonderful. Its sing-song tune, though no doubt original with Mr. M. was just a little bit tiresome.
Yates Hill, of Baker University, is a clean cut classical looking young (ellow with a face that reads like a book). Hill looks much like Bear. The Baker man is unmistakably an orator-he must have been born one. His able oration was delivered with his whole soul and might. It was done well. Hill tried hard to get first, but he fell second.
Robert M. Ruggles of the State Normal, though the last, came a good deal from being the least:—he was six feet if an inch. His comely person and handsome face were several points in his favor. His tribute to "Robert Emmet" was a heartfulone—I take it to be one of the finest ever placed on his grave. His delivery was exceedingly pleasant and his happy climaxes were masterly. As an orator Ruggles has a future of wonderful promise.
With the close of the contest began the festivities of the Ball Armory Hall never contained a company of more culture and beauty. More than one hundred couples worshiped at the shrine of Terpsichore. The guests were not a few. They were loyally entertained. The early bird was catching the proverbial worm when the happy company dispersed.
THE BALL
So ended one of the striking events in the history of K. S. U. — this contest will go down as a land-mark. — JAY.
A Chapter Added to "Looking Backward." Bellamy Out Done
THE B. M. IN 1990
SCENE-The 4 rimsily furnished pri-
vate office of the Bungtang Gao-ø.
The Business Manager was seated at his mahogany desk listening to a phonograph into which various railroad magnates, Senators and members of the Cabinet, had been compelled to state their business, and reading at the same time from a pile of letters, telegrams and pneumograms upon his desk.
These and other necessary furnishings of a modern business manager's office, including rich Persian rugs, rare porcelain and bronze, had been carefully gathered and were respectfully provided by the Gazoo Printing Co.
On the desk in front of the Business Manager lay a box of fine segars, with garters on (also furnished by the company.)
It was a cold day out of doors, but the pleasant warmth of the electric radiators, and the fragrant qualities of the good segar he was smoking, had a tendancy to make the B. M. feel at peace with himself and with the world—a state of existence entirely unknown to the B. M. of one hundred years ago.
At the side of the desk were a series of electric buttons and and openings communicating with pneumatic tubes, telephone centres and electro-phonographs. These bore various descriptions, such as "Campaign Headquarters," "Hoffman House Bar," "Private Office President U. S."
The B. M. touched one of the smaller buttors and a bold faced minion with agate cheek appeared at the door.
"Send the Managing, Editor" roared the Business Manager in a sort of chills and fever tone that sounded like tearing rags. (He had just recovered from the grip, which licked comes but once in a hundred years.)
A moment later there was a tremulous patter on the linoleum of the outer office and the Managing Editor stood on the threshold. He wore a hat of banana colored straw, a linen duster trimmed with car-fur, and his stockingless-feet were clad in rubbers.
It took one hundred years to subdue the proud spirit of this reckless class and bring them to the abject and reasonable state in which they are now found on most of the leading journals.
This appiration represented a remarkable revolution.
The Managing Editor removed the sad straw hat and asked the pleasure of the B. M.
"Do you hear that noise in the outer office?" asked the B. M. "Those are advertisers in line waiting a chance to get their announcements in the paper. See that you keep down the editorial matter to-day. Confine yourself to half a column, and let that be in praise of the Gaãoo's contemporaries as advertising mediums. We must do something to stop this rush of business. Make it brief. This will give you more time to help the pressman wash the rollers."
With a dejected air the Managing Editor left the doorway, sighing for the good old times of a hundred years ago when the Managing Editor was looked up to by everybody but the Religious Editor, and even gathered an occasional segar.
Again the B. M. touched a button
Again the gentleman with the agate elieek (14 lines to the inch) appeared at the door.
"Here is a letter," said the B. M. "trom Messrs. Dood little & Swearmuteh. Carry it to the compositor."
In these days a paper only requires the services of one compositor, and he is so called only by courtsey.
With the aid of modern machinery, composition is reduced to wonderful simplicity. The compositor shovels the type from a pile on the floor into a great hopper. Into an adjoining hopper the City Editor, with an old fashioned four-tine pitch fork, tosses in the heterogeneous copy. At the other end of the machine the type emerges, proof-read in galleys."
"Carry this to the compositor" pursued the B.M. "and call his attention to the fact that this is the second time this concern has complained about their advertisement being placed at the top of the column next to reading matter. We must try and avoid giving good advertisers such positions"
As he turned to the desk the B. M's eye caught the face of the electric clock (with burglar alarm, lunch bell and Wagner opera attachment.)
"Great Scott!" he exclaimed.
"I have been at this beastly office over three quarters of an hour. I must be off at once or the next thing you know this grasping company will be wanting me to work an hour a day."
He touched the button and thundered to the chief clerk:
"Order my balloon at once!" The Newspaper Record.

OUR BOW. By a glance at our editorial staff you will see that there has been a change: not so much a change of names as change of positions. But this change of positions means a change of management, and that means that the future fate of the COURTER has been placed in other hands.
While fully conscious of the high character of our new position, we are far more deeply concerned with its great and grave responsibilities. And as we stand upon the threshold of uncertain fortune, we are not foolish enough to fill the future with empty promises. For every victory there is a hundred broken resolutions and defeated hopes.
Recognizing the careful and consistent policy of our able predecessor, we believe there is no need for its radical alteration. Yet in so far as that policy was marked by peasonal tastes and opinions just so far will ours be unlike it.
Whatever may distinguish the future policy of the COURIER, we purpose that these principles shall form its foundation: First. A determination to conquer the spite and prejudice of factional rivalry and, second, to raise in sincerity the worth and character of our journalism.
Honorable rivalry and spirited contest is the vital element of deman life, but when the struggle hugenerates into a malicious envy, all sense and right have left it. So if, as students, we forget in our rivalries, the principles of honor and justice, we simply drop a round in the ladder of human excellence
Stirred by the pointed criticisms of Prof. Canfield, and pushed on by the hope of possible success, we have determined to do our part in the regeneration of our college journalism. To that end the editorial work of the paper has been divided, and individually lessened. By this plan each editor's work can be more thoroughly and completely done, because of less labor and more time.
Heartily glad are we to know that we are not alone in this resolve for the betterment of our college papers. The new management of our contemporary, the Kansan, has begun uncompromising war against every foe of dignified journalism. With admiration for such conduct, we join hands with our rival in the common labor for the final victory of our common purpose.
Liberal and progressive, the COURIER will not lessen in its loyalty to all, and to every interest of the University and her students.
K. S. U. need not be ashamed of her conduct last Friday. Kind attentive and courteous, she won universal praise for admirable hospitality.
WASHBURN-Naylor, here are our hearty congratulations. You go to Lincoln to win—loyally backed by every student who loves the "Sunflower" of the west
THE athletic spirit of Kansas was never more stiringly in earnest than it is to-day. Every college of the State has awakened to its vital need and importance. The organization of the State Association is beginning, we believe a new and successful era in the life of Kansas athletics and physical education. Many hope for the day when K. S. U., blessed with a gymnasium will add to her intellectual glory, the victories won on the fields of strength and manly encounter.
WE bespeak for the new literary society a limitless length of life and an incalculatable amount of good. It has begun well—its future rests upon the granite foundation of manly worth and industry. Its aim—sensibly high—touches the summit of possibility; that is enough for any sensible being. Leaving the crowded paths of mediocracy, this new society proposes to strike out into "greener fields and pastures new," and there fashion its own fortune. Those of our students who would knock off their rough edges and give to life a lasting polish and symmetry, should join this society at once.
Oratorical Convention.
At the meeting of the delegates of the State association the following officers were elected: President, V. L. Parrington, Emporia College; Vice-President, W E. Curry, State University; Secretary, O. E. Hopkins, Wesleyan University; Delegates to Inter-State contest: E. Y. Hill, Baker University; R. M. Ruggles, State Normal; and H. E. Tuicker, Washburn college.
The colleges at Winfield and Highland made application for admission, but their prayer was not granted.
The next meeting will be at Emporia.
The following is a contribution from a Juior Pharmic. Considering his age it must be dealt with leniently.
Oh! the Pharmacy gang are as tough as are made,
And on eight and four gallons, they oft make a raid,
They monkey with strychnine, gun cotton and gas,
To the Kingdom above they'll be blown soon alas.
He Makes Lawrence Grim. A little Talk the Courier Man Had with the Bold headed Wit.
BRILLIANT BILL.
Bill Nye has lots of friends in Lawrence: he is pretty well acquainted here. That is the natural conclusion from the crowded house that gathered at Bowersock's last Monday night to see and welcome him. Bill seemed delighted to see his Lawrence friends, and his Lawrence friends were pleased beyond calculation.
Bill, though unusually dignified, did not neglect to be funny He made the audience laugh several times. Bill is an old stay with the American people. He has been making them happy and hearty for so long a time that none know him but to love him, and laugh at him and weep over him.
Mr. Nye's support is excellent. Miss Torbett as violin'st, Mr.B.wney, as pianist and Mr. Tharlhugh, as tenor, make a trio of exceptional merit.
Following his costumary propensities, the COURIER man made it his good fortune to meet Mr. Nye He found him in his room in the Eldridge House, where he was attempting to recuperate from the bad effects of a long and sleepless journey. But the COURIER's intrusion did not seem to disturb him, and the noted humorist gave his newspaper brother a hearty welcome.
Bill Nye—did you ever see him? No, then certainly you have seen his pictures. But Nye's pictures are heartless satires—counterfeits that are at the most, anything but flattering. Nye, if you only knew it, is a handsome fellow. The full, round, intelligent face can never be called homely. His brown eyes, guarded by glasses, sparkle with the innate humor of the man. On shoulders that stand about five feet five is set that famous head of his, as long and peaked and bare as a sand hill. Kindly, courteous, and open hearted, Mr. Nye is a capital conversationalist.
'How do like your present work?' first asked the reporter. "Oh, I like it well enough," was the reply, "but this continuous traveling is very disagreeable. I don't like its interference with my regular hours of sleep. I don't like that part a bit."
"This is not your first trip to Kansas is it?" was asked.
'No sir, it is not and I hope it is not the last. I greatly admire your people, and I am sorry I do not know more of them, sorry that I do not know them better. I am pretty well acquainted with one of your senators—Senator Plumb, and I like him very much. I
think you Kansans should be proud of him "
Mr. Nye hails directly from the east where he has been traveling since October. He is now on his way to the coast.
To a question as to what he thought of the eastern people, those in New England in particular, he said: "Well sir, they are all right. I didn't think so once but I think so now. When I first traveled among them, I was afraid of them, but that was all a false alarm. No people ever gave me a more cordial reception. I admire their critical courtesy and careless indifference though it chilled me at first. They are, you know, great serchers after bottom rock, and they generally find it." "You are now living in New York are you not Mr. Nye?"
"Yes or more correctly in the suburbs. Staten Island is my home, and a very pleasant home it is too, away from the endless noise of the city. I found it*practically impossible to work amid all the confusion of the great metropolis and so I moved to Staten Island."
"And how do you like the East compared with the West?"
"Well I can't say I dislike the East, but I like the West far better. It is my home you know. I can't never forget that fact. My first love has never waned. Why, if my wife and family knew that they would return to-morrow to their western home they would be extremely delighted; like me they preier their old home in the west. But my business calls me to the east and so there I live."
After while the conversation ran off to college life, and to the reporter's questions Nye said:
"No, I didn't have the benefit of a college education because my father was unable to so provide for me. I deeply regret it. My only schooling was an academical course at my home in Wisconsin. You know I was admitted to the bar. But I won my certificate by my own labors unhelped by any college No, most of the knowledge I have now has been acquired by my own hard blows."
"Did you ever practice law?" "No, not very much. I didn't like it at all. It was entirely to dry and prosy for me. I felt it in disgust, and after teaching country school for a while I took to literary or newspaper work. I was about 23 years old when I moved to Laramie, Wyoming, and began my first reportorial work on the Laramie Sentinel. In two weeks after my first line of 'copy' I had charge of the paper, and from that time I date my literary career. I guess the public knows what it has been since then. I now hold as you no doubt know, a very lucrative position on the New York World"
With a humble bow the COURIER man left the distinguished humorist to resume his nap undisturbed.—JAY.

In spite of adduced imitations which miss the theory, and practical results of the Oratory, I would presume greatest success in quite a dozen attempts to rob him of the fruit of his labours, all of whose quality was teaching. Prof. Loisette Art of New Forgetting is recognition of the memory of Memory Culture.

We heard that they wanted money We wanted goods, and seeing that peculiar twinkle in Bayless' eye, we knew that something was going to turn up Now here are facts: We find by his own words that they have too much for the inner man, and judging by the effect their goods have on themselves we had better while cheap get on the outside of some ourselves.
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A RIDE JUMP ON! WE ARE GOING TO THE I. C. G. STORE.
Can't remember that we ever bought goods so low! It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give proof by making prices. You remember when we were on the car of overhearing one person whisper in the car of a friend that they always went to the I. C. G. STORE to get prices even if they did buy of some one on credit, for then they would not have to pay them too, much on any goods in their line. So, thinking the matter all over and knowing how hard my poor husband had to work to keep up the table and elodie 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 long expected chemicals and apparatus for the Pharmacy department have at last arrived on this side of the Water and are on their way to K. S. U. as fast as the fast freight can bring them.
The explosions in the chemical laboratory are becoming too frequent to be amusing. Earnest Robinson had his face cut quite badly on Tuesday, by an explosion of Hydrogen in a glass vessel
Prof. Bailey has received a supply of "Lungston Steel" from Philadelphia for the Chemical Department. This is an exceptionally fine grade of steel and needs no tempering.
The Freshman class in Chemistry is the largest in the history of the institution.
Kansas Literary Society holds its first regular meeting to-night. The class in Logic will be examined Friday afternoon or Saturday morning of next week.
Although none of the students were condensed on the ceiling of the labratory, as the hero of Prof. Bailey's story was, an explosive mixture of gases made some of them "hard to ketch" for a while last Monday.
The proceeds of the University Ball were enough to cover all expenses—with the exception of a few(?) dollars.
Fashion's world revolves so rapidly that the pants you take off at night are out of style before you can get them on in the morning; consequently, the average student wears them all the time.
Let us have a University Mandolin Club. There are at least twenty-five students in the University who either play the guitar or mandolin. What a hit it would have been at the state contest, to have had an orchestra composed of twenty-five students, producing such melody as is possible from mandolin and guitar.
Will some one please inform us what is the possible sense or need of a year's drawing preparatory to entering the Freshman class? It is doubtful if one student in a hundred, after he has had drawing for two terms, can make a vivid representation of the most common object.
It is reported that Bill Nye has to sleep on a sheet of fly paper as a pillow to keep from falling out of bed.
The Senior moot court attendants shade their eyes or wear opera glasses when the rays of the western sun shoot athwart the nickle-plated cranium of their honored dean.
It is reported that John A. is working on his graduation oration, "Every Man His Own Daniel Webster, or How I Became What I Am."
The necessity of having to excuse absences from class offer good inducements for the members of the Ananias club.
Sub-freshies revels in Wentworth's Geometry, or a Tale of True Love by Onida.
The proverbial brass monkey is as usual the loser from the cold snap.
We are in receipt of the programme of the South-eastern Teachers Association, to be held at Parsons, March 28 and 29, 1890. In it we see many familiar names, among them Prof. J. H. Canfield and W. R. Cone.
The classes in elocution are quite large. In fact, the Freshman class has to be divided into several divisions.
What makes the man so confidential who possesses a breath that would fertilize a stone quarry?
When the verdant E. E. student seizes the wrong wire at the engine house he exclaims:

Prof C:—What, Mr. B, is the number of "you," singular or plural?
Bright Boy.
[The COURIER is not responsible for the opinions expressed in this column.]
I am goling home to dynamo.
Mr. B:一( a bright German student) "You," sir, is singular.
WE WAIT FOR A REPLY!
Mr- B:—Why, sir, one would say, "you is!"
Prof. C:—Why, you are mistaken, are you not? How would you use "you". in the present tense?
The professor forgets his dignity and the students hold their sides; they were a little diverted, that is all.
EDITOR COURIER:—I am a student in the University and have been for several years, and in-asmuch as I have learned much of college life I have been disgusted with the narrow mindedness and contracted prejudices of the average student. The true student should be liberal in his views, should survey the world with broader and more liberal ideas than a mere aristocratic idea of his own greatness and grandeur. His head should be level and set firmly on his shoulders; but there is no need that he should view the whole remaining class of human beings through a reversed telescope and imagine that he is the only giant. There is no need of egotism becoming so abnormally developed in our colleges; for soon after entering upon the busy stream of life there is a vast shipwreck of this complacent self sufficiency. And about the first thing that our student learns is how infinitesimal a unit he is in the worlds great whole.
What is there in a University training that is so conducive to conceit? Do the Professors teach it? What is it that destroys the democratic idea of equality? Why is a student so aristocratic? Many things no doubt have a bearing upon this question but we think that one that exerts a direct influence to avoid this effect, is the college fraternities. They inculcate in the breast of each member a lordly feeling of superiority over his fellow students who are not fraternity men. By what reason he feels so superior it is hard to state He is no better student and generally is a poorer one than the "poor unkempt barb," as they are so fond of calling the non-fraternity man. He is not as much of a gentleman as the average "barb." His snobishness which he receives from his fraternity precludes true courtesy. His refinement is all surface. His heart is full of pride and treachery. He is a snob, a worshiper of his social superior. In this democratic country it is sad to find that there are so many of these snobs. And it is still worse to find in colleges and universities, where democratic equality should reign, this
college aristocracy, these cohorts of nobles, the special few, the chosen ones, who by their arrogance and inveterate hatred of those whom they consider beneath them in the social scale, exhibit the same spirit that was wiped out of France in blood. Fraternities? A sham aristocracy exclusive and select. Why? Because your father had wealth, some of your ancestors came over in the Mayflower or your forty-first cousin was President, you are invited to join. This is the fraternity as it is, not as it was instituted.
Nc. 23.
"The Rush." What is it? A mere helper skelter at the first of the year by those fraternity men for new victims to sacrifice at the altar of their God. The poor "Fresh" or "Prep" thinks that he has fallen into the hands of the most obliging and open-hearted boys in all this wide world. They cultivate his acquaintance so assiduously that he is fairly bewildered by the hosts of new-found friends. He don't care to join. He doesn't join. What then? His friends that were, are now his friends no longer. Strangers, they know him no more. Is this courtesy? Is that the true gentleman? How about the new man? Oh, he is relegated to the wild and howling hords of "barbarians." He finds friends there and his spirit turns to bitterness, and he howls with the rest of the "barbs" against those fraternities. Why shouldn't he be bitter? Has not he borne their snubs and slights beyond the limits of human endurance? Is not this I-am-better-than-thou air of the "frat" always thrust upon him?
Now, Mr. Editor, the point that we wished to make is that if more true honesty of the heart, more true courtesy was exhibited by the fraternity men and less of this bigotedness, treachery and surface refinement, there would not be this rank and bitter hostility between the "barb" and "frat." The "barb's" intolerance and hatred of "frats" will grow less as the "frat" becomes more generally a true university or college student. And can a boy go through college having either the pride of the "frat" or the intolerance and bitterness of the "barb" without becoming narrower in his opinions than would be so if the fraternities were abolished? The fraternity is a resurrected remnant of the old medievel age and the "barb" is the true democrat. A. BARB.

AMONG all the earnest and sensible suggestions that have been made in the interest of the Athletic Association, none has pleased us more than the one that an InterFraternity Base Ball League be organized. Upon inquiry, we have found that each fraternity is endowed with suitable, if not excellent material. The only thing necessary, therefore, to give to each fraternity a strong and clever club, is a little well planed and well directed effort and enthusiasm. Following the organization of the clubs, should come the organization of the League, with its manager and schedule of games. To determine the winner of the penant, each club would be compelled to play five games, making a total of fifteen. With a little computation you will immediately see that this number of games could not be played before the close of the term, unless more than one game was played each week. This want of sufficient time to complete a schedule has been and is one of the serious objections to the formation of a League. But is this objection an insoluble hinderence? Cannot more than one game be played each week? What will prevent the clubs from meeting both Friday and Saturday afternoons during the playing season?
With such a plan we believe that a League can be formed and conducted with success. Does anyone doubt the resulting benefit of such an organization? While giving a new life and interest to the athletic spirit of the University, it would afford a splendid opportunity for manly amusement in a sport distinctly American. More than that and more than anything else it would break down the senseless barriers of fraternity prejudice and create that other and better feeling which honors worth and talent wherever found. Let every student give this matter the careful consideration due it.
Our Exchanges.
WHAT is to be done with the recently organized Glee Club? Is it to go untimely to an unknown grave or is it to become one of the established additions of K. S. U.? The Club has made a remarkably good beginning and its future is just as cloudless as the average summer sky. With a little care as to where it rehearses and what euphonies it warbles, we see no reason why it cannot become gray in its malodious task. But there is just one thing we want to suggest: don't, if it can be possibly helped, start off an oratorical contest with a weeping love song or invite a lot of stately black coats to join a dance. Long live the Glee Club!
TO OUR BROTHERS: GREETING:
So often has the COURIER been reminded of its cold disregard for fraternal laborers that it has determined to try its luck in the glow of the editorial fireside. So, repenting for our past indifference, here's our bow—and hand too, if you'll believe it—as we slip into our seat by "that fireside."
Before taking our place there however, we want to say that we are a human being. If you will but remember this, it is very likely we can all have a jollier time around the hearth stone.
THE Knox College Coup D'Etat wasn't named in vain. It makes a happy hit every time it sees light.
THE Pacific Pharos—brown-eyed as any maiden—has enough of the mighty spirit of the West to satisfy common sense.
THE Monmouth Anex snows more merit and sense to the square inch than is often found in a whole volume of some college journals.
THE Kansan shows a brighter face under its new nurse. Its Journal re-prints are naturally clever—but a little old to those who have read them.
THE Washburn Argo is out with all the glory of a Cæsarian triumph. Naylor leads the mighty pageant that moves on to Lincoln. Kansas applauds and Washburn yells "Victory!"
THE Baker Beacon is out in a bran new petticoat; or to change so classic a figure, its wick has been turned up and newly trimmed. Allow us to say, friend Beacon, that your brilliancy has been increased several candles by the process. Your enterprise merits more praise than we can give.
OUR able friends of the *Hesperian* are waging relentless war against fraternities. Could we excuse their prejudice and bigotry, we could admire the brilliancy of their fight. It is a principle of their philosophy that fraternities and literary societies are hopelessly conflicting forces. However that may be, they pointedly demand our position on this issue,—as they are pleased to make it. Our position, gentlemen, is this: Because the friend of the fraternities, the COURIER sees no reason why it should not give its unqualified support to the the literary societies. Nor can we see that in such a position there is the sacrifice of one tittle of right, reason, or
honor. Why does the love of one good destroy the love for another? Even if we accepted so fallacious a principle tht these organizations are "diamentrically opposite" would we then be compelled to lessen our love for the one or our loyalty for the other? We believe not; and in that belief the COURIER finds its position.
How many students remembered that last Saturday was the birth day of the nation's father? How many, amid the heedless rush of life stopped short and thought seriously of its touching significance? To us the day was big with all that is dear to every American hearth-stone. Born among the tyranies of kings, Washington gave with his life the birth of a nation and the hope of mankind. The world claims him and loves him.
If there is any one who should lay at the feet of the nation's hero a tribute of love and admiration, it is the student of our American college. Alike the first in war, he was the first in peace. When he sheathed his sword he blessed the school house. With his wonderful forecast he proclaimed among the needs of the Republic that of free and universal education. He saw that without it the nation lacked its fountain-head of perpetual life. And to institutions of learning he gave a loyal and liberal support.
Remember then the great significance of the day. Remember with reverence the noble character that is brought irresistably to mind. Remember that among all the bright and beautiful lessons taught by this peerless American none is so important than that to the future of mankind and the blessings of liberty are joined inseparably the love of education and the triumph of mind.
THROUGH the kindness of Mr. B. B. Smyth, its Librarian, we are in receipt of the last Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science. The book is an exceedingly interesting and valuable work, replete with the latest research in the great domain of science—all the product of Kansas brain. Among the many able treatises that the book contains are seen those of Profs. Snow, Bailey, Franklin, Sayre, Blake and Franklin of the University. Mr. Smyth has our thanks for so valuable a gift.
In spite of humble petitions and universal opposition, the Faculty still persists in closing the doors of he library during chapel hours. In a state where the rights of man and conscience are held in the most sacred regard, and in an institution that boasts of its equality, progress and liberal thought, this state of affairs is a ridiculous satire.
LAST Monday the National House of representatives selected Chicago as the site for the World's Fair of '92. This act remains to be approved by the Senate, but there is no doubt as to that, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and New York fought gallantly for the coveted prize, but the money offered by and the material inducements of the Windy City won the day. We are pleased with this selection, and it certainly was broad and dispassionate American sense that made it As the center of our continental wealth and commerce, Chicago is no less the home of national culture and patriotism. The greatest event of the nineteenth century, the World's Fair, will not be less so because held at Chicago.
JUST at present the University is receiving a great deal of attention from the press of the State. The Regents, the future Chancellor, and Prof. J. H. Canfield, have formed the happy subject for many a long and pompous editorial. Some have scolded the Regents and some have praised them. Some have committed the Hon James to the future care of experimental combustion, while others have raised him to a seat among the gods. The effect on Prof. Canfield has been phenomenal. He quietly continues his wonted duties at the U., the most popular instructor in the nation, the idealized hero of his pupils, the brightest and brainiest man in Kansas and the most suitable candidate for the next Chancellor of the Kansas State University.
An anonomous writer in the last issue of the Lawrence Gazette makes some very disagreeable statements about the Music Department of the University. Whether there are valid reasons for the present management of this department we do not know; but we do know that the facts are about as follows:
The revised catalogue shows there were 61 applicants for admission st the last term; and of this number 13 got in as free students, and embraces girls of the wealthy and influential classes. The 48 that did not pass into the free department are catalogued as preparatory. This reads all straight and makes a good showing for the increasing popularity of the University. But let us lift the curtain. Of the 13 free students, 8 are from Lawrence and 5 from all the other parts of the state. What does a preparatory student mean? According to the business side of the chancellorship, it is one who is taking private lessons in the University under salaried professors. The salaried professor is allowed to set up a private school in the University building, and charge each student who fails to pass in to the free department, one dollar or more per lesson. A singular feature is that of the 61 applicants for free tuition, there should be 48 failures to get into the free department. —Lawrence Gazette

ODE TO A HAIR PIN.
LOST BY.
LOST BY——
Oh thou! who a Beauty's locks in order held,
I envy thee!
Many a time have I gazed on the golden tresses.
And seen that Beauty backward throw a curl
That sought to kiss her lips with sweet caresses.
But didst not think the wind that lock would steal
Yet still, it maw's her look most sweet, bewitching,
And though you at these feeble lines may grieve,
I think thou didst quite right to lose that curl.
Oh thou hair pin!
Oh show thou pin!
What evil fate has torn thee from thy station,
That thou art lost?
Have envious winds with gentle, soft, exertion,
Torn thee from where thou in peace would ever rest?
Or has the jealous earth with power of gravitation,
Thus downward pulled thee to its breast?
If this is true, and I doubt not 'tis such it were great sin,
And one that wind and earth shall rue forever.
Oh thou hair pin!

A New Music Club.
On Feb. 17th the regular students of the Music Department meet for the purpose of organizing a Music Club with the hope of gaining a higher musical culture, some knowledge of the lives of great comodosers and a better acquaintance with each other—in fact a combination of pleasure and profit for the members. The Dean of the department gives his hearty encouragement and sympathy to the idea and the Music Club is an established fact. The Faculty granted the use of room 30 for its use on the second and fourth Wednesday afternoons in each month. The new club starts out with good prospects of success, with Miss Ida Burr as President, Miss Margia Brown, Vice-President, and Mr. Adolph Krehbiel Secretary and Treasurer. The germs of decay so often lodged in ponderous titles were carefully guarded against, the modest name of "Music Club" being deemed sufficient for all purposes. Each member has the privilege of inviting two guests to the meetings of the club. A program is rendered by the members at each meeting, of vocal and instrumental music with short sketches of composers.
Robert Tucker of Buchtel College will be Ohio's champion at Lincoln. A colored man pressed him hard for first place.
The University Literary Club met last Friday evening and perfected its organization. The officers were elected as follows: President, Howard Pears; Secretary, Baker; Treasurer, Roberts; Ex Committee; Whitman, Brown and Roberts. The club's first program will be presented to-night.
A Suggestion.
Why would it not be a good move for the U. A. A. to have the old University building fitted up as an indoor gymnasium? The building now stands practically idle, the basement only being used as a dwelling for the fireman. With little expense, the spacious class rooms could be converted into an admirable gymnasium, and the surrounding campus is large enough for running, jumping, vaulting, in fact for most any outdoor exercise. Is not this suggestion worth considering?
The members of the Music Club are buying and borrowing "Roberts Rules of Order" in order to "brush up" their somewhat limited knowledge of the contents.
Why isn't there a strong tunefu. Glee Club (with all respect to those who warbled concerning "Roses" on the night of Feb.14?) Judging by the sounds in the Chapel after the contest, the University might boast of sufficient vocal power to drown out Thomas' Orchestra and Gilmores Band combined.
We see by the Kansas City Times that our friend John Sullivan Esq.—John of ye old times and COURIER memory—is fast coming to the front as a social and political economist. His recent lectures on the tariff-protection problem before the political clubs of Kansas City, have won him bountiful praise and applause. John will startle the world yet.
There was a mistake in the markings of the judges of the recent contest Its righting is a happy one for K. S. U. By it Bear is raised from fourth to third place and that is a good deal of satisfaction to the many who believed that "our orator" should have closely followed the winner.

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