BETA THETA PL.
The gentlemen of Beta Theta Pi entertained their friends last Friday evening at their parlors in the Opera House Block. A merry company assembled early in the evening and very pleasantly passed the time until the "wee small hours." Dancing and card playing were the chief amusements. During the evening an elegant supper was served on the Opera House stage, by the ladies of the Unitarian church. The menu cards were something novel and unique. They were in the form of folders ornamented with etchings designed by Mr. E. E. Stimpson. On the fourth page appeared the name and chapter of the fraternity with the date, and on the reverse cover the traditional Beta "dorg" roasted and ready for eating.

B. J. Dalton, our recent graduate in civil engineering from the State University left home on Saturday night for Ft. Worth, Texas. He goes there with two good situations open for his acceptance, one in railway employ and the other in the service of this city in pulling down its sewer system, in which capacity he worked in Lawrence last summer. We shall expect to hear of him making a decided success. Southern Kansas Tribune.
Prof. Blake's lecture before the Unity Club Monday evening was a great success. There are no more pleasant talkers in the University than Prof. Blake. His subject, "The Nature of Electricity" is one with which he is thoroughly familiar, and interest was added by many fine experiments. The object of the lecture was to show that electricity is not life but an inanimate force and its effects simply mechanical.
The following is from the West-minister Review, published at West-minister College, Fulton Mo. The article is too long to give entire, but the following extracts are interesting. We are sorry to see an otherwise well written article marred by the incorrect spelling of such a word as "clique:"
"The Literary Societies of the State University are having a hard time by reason of continual broils between the fraternity and non fraternity elements, and it is predicted by some that one of these societies will be broken up as the result. We are sorry in need to hear this, for all contemptible things, we believe clicks in a Literary Society are the most contemptible, clicks composed of either element, fraternity or non-fraternity, for both are equally beinous. We condemn both sides in the case, though one may be more guilty than the other. In saying this we take it for granted that fraternities in general have a worsher object than the advancement of their members by schemes and clicks. We would also censure the action of those boys who accuse the "frats" of clicking and scheming when they themselves are continually doing the same things. Away with such actions. We do not mean here to condemn college fraternities, for to say anything either for or against these organizations is foreign to the policy of the Review, but we do condemn clicks, let them be fraternity or non fraternity and while the Literary Societies of Westminster are free from such things, let us each honestly endeavor to keep them so. Let every man stand on his own merits in our Literary Societies; and let both fraternity and non fraternity profit by the mistakes of our neighbors."
Vol. 1. No. 1. of the Wesleyan Advance, from Kansas Wesleyan University, comes to our hands. The Advance is the result of a combination of the Wesleyan Advocate and the Lance, and is an improvement over both We do not like the name, which savors more of a Salvation army or W. C. T. U. organ than of a college paper. The Advance however, is a live and interesting journal, with matter well arranged, neat typographically and showing signs of prosperity. We wish it long life.

At Drake University they "rush" men for the literary societies, much as "Greek" men do elsewhere, if we judge correctly from a statement in the Delphic, which complains of its being carried to excess.
The Baker Beacon of last week was a surprise. We always thought the Beacon was an enterprising paper, but we became sure of the fact when it appeared in its new dress. A fine quality of paper and general typographical neatness add greatly to its appearance. The matter contained is rather better than usual also. We hope the Beacon's management will keep the paper at a high standard, and retain it in the position it now holds of being one of the few college weeklies in Kansas deserving of the name.
We doubt if the generality of the students here have an adequate idea of the value of a good knowledge of parliamentary law. Among the mass of the students outside of the literary societies it is almost entirely unknown. If a greater study were made of this subject, there would be less opportunity for "bulldozing" in college elections where it is generally the case that a few who are well acquainted with parliamentary law can skilfully defeat or baffle their opponents by adroit parliamentary tactics. We do not believe too much stress can be laid on the value of this study merely as a mental training. But more than this, every young man who expects ever to take any part in deliberative assemblies, where he may be obliged to stand up for his rights and can only obtain them through parliamentary tactics, should make the science of parliamentary usage and practice a study. It is practical, it is interesting, it requires close and acute thinking, and it drills the mind to preciseness and exactness. We are glad to see the literary societies toking good hold of the matter.
THE Baker Beacon is a lively interesting paper. The only fault we have to find with it, is that it runs in too much secular matter. General paragraphs about politics and legislation do not belong within the proper scope of a college journal, in our opinion. Otherwise the Beacon is a very creditable paper. The issue of February 19th takes a very sensible view of the status of the weekly newspaper at K. S. U.
It was the policy of the management of the paper last term to publish nothing from exchanges. While there is danger of making an exchange column "chestnutty," yet we believe we owe to our exchanges at least an occasional mention. K. S.U. papers have been criticized this year for ignoring other college papers. Accordingly we have concluded to come to the front again with exchange notes, and shall endeavor to keep them as fresh and interesting as possible
PROFESSORS CANFIELD and Blackmar have instituted a new departure in the Seminary of Historical and Political Science, viz. the establishment of a corresponding membership system, by which prominent men over the State are brought into close contact with the University in its Department of History and Political Science. The scheme has only been in operation a few weeks, but already nineteen names have been secured. The idea is this: Any person in the state interested in topics with which the Seminary deals, is invited to become a corresponding member. This involves the preparation and presentation before the Seminary by each member, once a year, a paper on some topic in Political Science or Economics. The value of this to the students of the University and the department is very great. The University is thus placed in active connection with the outside world, and it cannot help but add to its strength and greatness.
The following is a list of the corresponding members up to date. At this rate the number will be quite large by the end of the term. Included in the list are found some of the most prominent men in the State: Hon. Geo. R. Peck, Topeka; Hon. T. Dwight Thacher, Topeka; Hon. Scott Hopkins, Horton; Judge James Humphrey. State R. R. Commissioner, Junction City; Hon. Noble Prentis, Newton; Hon. D. S. Alford, Lawrence; Hon. James Emery, Lawrence; Hon. Frank Betton, State Labor Commissioner, Topeka; Col. O. E. Learnard, Lawrence; Col. H. S. Moore, Lawrence; Chas. F. Scott, Iola; Hon. H. M. Greene, Lawrence; Rev. W. W. Ayres, Lawrence; Regent Chas. S. Gleed, Topeka; Hon. Fred A. Stocks, Blue Rapids; Rev. C. G. Howland, Lawrence; Hon. Charles Robinson, Lawrence; Hon. B. W. Woodward, Lawrence; Maj. J. K. Hudson, Topeka.
Boys take your cups to Gregg & Johnson.
We do wonder what some people in this world would do if they had nothing to howl about. Some individual of the howling cult was kindly permitted by the Courier to occupy two columns of its front page last week, as a vent for a mess of the most nonsensical rhodomontade that it has been our privilege to read for some time. The article is on fraternities. It begins in a fairly reasonable spirit, but gradually, as the writer warms up over his subject he becomes frantic, tears his hair, and eats fire generally. The author of this production signs himself only "Barb," and he is evidently one of the "rank" species. We fail to see how any student of the University with an atom of sense could have written such foolishness, unless he had imbibed a deep potion of the wine made from "sour grapes."
It was not our intention to frame a "reply" to the article in question. Though the KANSAN as well as the Courier is a strong friend of the college fraternities, it is not our policy as a rule to engage in disputes in which nothing is at stake. The artic e in question to any one at all acquainted with the college fraternity system, is extremely absurd and puerile in its nature.
Secret fraternities, as features in American colleges and universities, have long since passed the critical period of their existence, and are now firmly established in almost every institution of higher learning of any importance in the United States. With a vast active and alumni membership, counting statesmen, college presidents, members of faculties, learned divines, and influential men of ali stations in their ranks, the fraternities, as positive factors of our college life, have come to stay. When a man like President Adams of Cornell can openly commend the fraternities as beneficial agents; when one of the most prominent of eastern divines can rise and say from the bottom of his heart, at a reunion of his fraternity, "Next to the Church of God, I love Psi U;" when these and the testimonials of thousands of others stand as evidence of the great good of the college fraternity system, such frantic efforts as those of our barbarian friend, subject their author only to ridicule as an empty declaimer against something of the first principles of whose action and management he is profoundly ignorant. We do not need then to enter into any defense of fraternities in the KANSAN or through the columns of the Courier if they were extended to us for that purpose. To do this would be something like the old man in the late war who got out with his shot gun to help repel an attack on a battery of artillery. We presume however that the writer in the Courier drew his magnificent generalizations from what he considered to be the state of things at K. S. U. Probably he has not been asked to join a fraternity here, and is bitter on account of it. At any rate, while we would otherwise have paid no attention to the article at all, which really does not merit it, a few
words may be not out of place for the benefit of those of our readers outside, who do not know what the fraternities at K. S. U. are. It is really quite embarrassing to a poor, quiet, inoffensive fraternity student to be suddenly shot up to the top of a solitary obelisk in lonely and isolated grandeur, by a single gory sentence like this. "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." Good! Here is declamation, with a vengeance. The last is particularly rich. We would like to see that spoken from the chapel platform. We can fancy how the "nobles," "cohorts," etc, would squirm and cringe. And the "blood" denunciation is truly eloquent. It greatly resembles some other things we have heard but will not stop to mention.
Our friend then delineates in glowing colors the unfortunate wretch who has been "rushed." We don't believe our friend could have possibly been "rushed" by a fraternity. He exclaims: "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? (Which, the strangers or the courtesy?)” “How about the new man?” and so on like Tennyson's brook, forever, he warbles his lay. He also speaks of fraternity men seeking “new victims to sacrifice at the altar of their God.” This hysterical strain is continued with variations through the whole piece.
"Envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharitableness," these form the sentiment in which it was written. There is only one more statement which is worth mentioning, because it is a statement. The rest is mere slush. This is that the non-fraternity men are the best students. This is not true, as every person who knows the University can affirm. The fraternities, with rare exceptions, include the best students, the most able, intelligent, and talented young men and women in the University. As to aristocracy, if personal cleanliness, and neatness in personal appearance constitute aristocracy, then the fraternity men do certainly have the advantage over the bulk of the "barbs." As there is but little wealth represented here, we do not know where else to look for aristocracy.
We did not intend to say so much concerning a matter so un deserving of attention and now are through.
Now that our "barb" friend has unburdened his mind, we suggest to him that he correct his piece, improve its construction, remove its numerous grammatical errors, polish up its diction, and learn it for the next Oratorical Contest. We think it would take immensely.

The Harvard Advocate is a fine paper typographically,but we have seen it excelled in contents by many western papers.
The College Rambler of the 22d comes to us with an index of Volume XII. This idea of indexing the college papers is an excellent one.
The Courier in its last week's issue, re-established its exchange column. So did we. "Great minds," etc., you know.
Several of the boys, it is rumored, returned from Lawrence 'dead broke,' and have been boarding themselves ever since rather than send home for more money. —College Life.
We acknowledge the receipt of "Oak, Lily and Ivy," a very neat and cret titable little monthly published by the Senior class of the Milford, Mass., High School.
The mass meeting idea for raising money is a good one. The Pulse says:
"At a recent mass meeting of students and faculty at Illinois College nearly three thousand dollars was pledged for a new gymnasium building."
The KANSAN is pleased to receive among its exchanges the Clay Centre Dispatch published by Bion S. Hutchins, a graduate of K. S. U., and is one of the rustling "young men in politics." The Dispatch bristles with life and energy, and we hope it is a paying investment to its manager.
COLLEGE JOURNALISM
There are three principal reasons why the college paper should be encouraged and supported. It gives to the world the real standing of the institution which it represents, and the kind of work that is being done. It provides for the studeats a medium, through which they may express their sentiments, and thereby profit by each others opinions on the current topics of the day. To say that the pleasure and real satisfaction that the student gets from the perusal of the college journal is appreciated, is indeed saying but little. As far as our experience goes, the students universally are loyal to the college paper. We believe we are safe in saying that the work and time that it necessarily takes to get out a paper is not appreciated by any except those who have had the actual experience. We may look over the field, search the history of every staff, inquire into their methods of doing business, and we will find that the legacy left to future corps is nothing but a legacy of hard work and unattained ambitions. So if our paper comes far short of your ideal just consider that we paid nothing to secure our position, and that it is not lucrative in any sense except what benefit we derive from the labor and experience. — Wesleyan Advenance.
Let K. S. U. students think of this.
The college Forum department of the Delphic has some very good ideas expressed in it. Here is one, which, though not couched in the most elegant language, yet contains a grain of good sound common sense:
"There is a decided lack of opportunity around Drake for the development of sociability. We do not favor high, swell, all night, full(un) dress parties and balls; but we would favor a decently ordered home entertainment at least once a month or so. Some might gather from these words that the writer is one of those isolated males who
don't stand in" with the leaders of society affairs here, but while he is one of the raw hands, his conservation proves that there are no real social advantages for any student unless he goes into the circles of the city.
What we advocate is a good, beauty, intellectual evening gathering of students. That such have never been held in this great community of giant intellects is sadly evident on any occasion when the least principles of social etiquette would be in order. The sight of a long, lank, bony, awkward man in the drawing room is disgusting, however much he may have gathered of knowledge. The world laughs at him, and the light of his genius is hid under the bushel of his neglect of "ways and means." Cranks and chumps may not need to know how to conduct themselves in company, but it behooves the man to acquire it."
FEDERAL AND STATE AID TO
EDUCATION:
U. S. Bureau of Education, Circular of Information No. 1, 1890, Contributions to American Educational History, edited by Herbert B. Adams. No. 9: The History of Federal and State Aid to Higher Education in the United States, by Frank W. Blackmar, Ph.D. Sometimes Fellow in History and Politics in the John. Hopkins University, now Professor in the State University of Kansas. Washington, Government Printing Office, 1890.
This is the announcement of a work just out of the government press, which Prof. Blackmar prepared for the series edited by Herbert B. Adams, of Johns Hopkins on the history of education in the United States. We were expecting something good when Prof. Blackmar's book appeared, but we were hardly prepared for the large monograph of 343 pages in which the history of Federal and State aid to higher education is so accurately and fully told. The book is a genuine cyclopedia of higher public education in the United States. The history of the growth of the State idea in education is carefully and thoroughly treated, from a statistical basis.
Prof. Blackmar reviews the history of higher education in every State in the Union, and with such completeness and thoroughness of detail that when he has finished, the whole picture of the growth and development of higher education in America is complete. When we consider the vast ground to be covered the historical and statistical evidence and records to be carefully gone over and arranged in a systematic whole, we can form some idea of the great labor involved. The work does not—cannot give many interesting historical points in connection with the founding and growth of our colleges and universities. In order to keep the monograph within reasonable bounds the most succinct accounts consistent with completeness, are given each institution. All the facts are there,—every one, without a single word wasted, and it is all put in such a clear and accurate manner that the book will always endure as a complete, concise and careful history of the State idea in education in America.
It is a great thing for K. S. U. to have such a work as this come from the hands of one of its professors. Prof. Blackmar is still a young man: his work is just fairly begun, yet this production entitles

him to a position which many an older scholar might well envy. Another valuable monograph by Prof. Blackmar is soon to appear, and we will give it due mention. Our professor has thoroughly imbibed the spirit of research which Johns Hopkins inspires, and is endeavoring to cultivate in his students. "The History of Federal and State Aid to Higher Education." is a credit to Prof. Blackmar, an acquisition to the educational world, and a work for Kansas University to point to with pride the production of one of its honored instructors.

The Idea That It Must Be Made Up of
Eight Cities Growing.
Bargains in Gloves at Abe Levy's.
The base-ball writers of the country are slowly coming around to the idea that the National league can not afford to fight the brotherhood with a ten-club circuit. In the Philadelphia Inquirer recently appeared the following:
"Of course the league would be in a much healthier condition without Indianapolis or Washington. With Glasscock, Denny, Boyle, Buckley, Bassett, Burkett, Inks, Sommers, Rusie, George and the new material divided up among two or three of the other league clubs, and the transfer of a few of the surplus players under contract with Cincinnati and Brooklyn, a strong eight-club circuit can be formed. It is possible that such a movement will be made. New York, Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Boston are believed to be opposed to ten clubs. Presidents Spalding and Reach are on the fence.
NATIONAL LEAGUE CIRCUIT.
"Of the one hundred stars in the league and the association the former claims to have the most, but of the first forty the players' league has the call. When it comes down to the young players of the first and second class the league has the most, as it has had the pick of the finest players in the minor leagues. Young material under such competent managers as Wright and Anson and sandwiched between a few old stars may produce a good team. It is team work that wins largely. If the respective clubs of the old league are well organized they are likely to get their share of the patronage. In this the national league is as well off as the players'. Both of them are so jumbed up as to require considerable practice to make them perfect. When this is done—and the clubs are already getting to work—the conflict will narrow down for the public to decide. If the patrons go to brotherhood games the league will suffer in consequence, and vice versa."
"At the Cleveland meeting, too, the full staff of umpires will be agreed upon. MeQuaid, Lynch and McDermott have already been appointed and one or two others can easily be selected from the list of applicants in the hands of President Young. This is regarded as an indication that the league intends to maintain the single umpire system.

THE WESTERN PLAINS.
Irrigation the Only Means Promising Profitable Crops.
Prof. Frank H. Snow, of the Kansas State University, said several years ago "But the fact that thousands of newcomers, from ignorance of the climate, have attempted to introduce ordinary agricultural operations upon the so-called plains, and have disastrously failed in the attempt, has placed an undeserved stigma upon the good name of Kansas in many far-distant communities, and has undoubtedly somewhat retarded immigration during the past few years. It is time for the general recognition of the fact that, except in the exceedingly limited area where irrigation is possible, the western third of Kansas is beyond the limit of successful agriculture." The severe seasons of drought which have occurred since the above conservative statement was written show the whole truth of the matter to be that the westward advancing line of settlement is by no means an isohyetal one, but that it is merely a line representing in a way the overflow of the population of our Eastern States. It needs but a slight acquaintance among the old settlers in Central Kansas to know that they fear nowadays excessively dry weather as much as they did twenty-five years ago. The people who live farther west are losing faith in the idea of an increased rain-fall, as is evidenced by the fact that over two hundred linear miles of main canals have lately been constructed for irrigation purposes nearly as far east as Kinsley, in the Arkansas valley of Western Kansas. In the Platte valley, in Nebraska, large irrigating systems are at present being projected. - Stuart O. Henry, in Popular Science Monthly.
ALWAYS DRESS WELL.
Indifference to Personal Appearance Not a Mark of Intellectuality.
There are people of intelligence who labor under the delusion that carelessness in dress is an indication of intellectual ability. This was believed to be particularly true, in former times, of women whom the world called blue stockings.
There is no degree of intelligence that can excuse slovenness. Rags and dirt are the insignia of vice and laziness much more frequently than of poverty that has resulted from misfortune which could not be avoided.
Every man and every woman should appear before the world with cleanly and well-made garments, so far as it lies in their power to do so. Of course, the mechanic who works in the shop or foundry from seven in the morning until six at night, or the farmer who must feed the stock or be in the field all day long, is not expected to appear in spotless linen and polished boots. But he can "tidy" himself when he comes home in the evening, and sit down among his family cleanly and wholesome. A bath and some change of clothing is the best relief for fatigue; infinitely more refreshing than slothful case enjoyed in a cloud of tobacco smoke in clothing stained with the dust and perspiration of the day's labor. It may also be urged that it is a difficult undertaking for a tired mother, with a family of little children to look after, who must do all the work unaided, to keep them and herself always sweet and clean. But there are thousands of women who do so, who make their homes a haven of rest, a place where comfort and order prevail always. A guest should always honor his host by appearing at his best, not only at his best in temper and manner, but he should show in his apparel that he has considered the invitation an honor conferred, and he would no sooner mar the feast to which he has been bidden by careless and untidy dress, than by disregard of the proprieties, or by coarseness of speech or manner. It is a recognition of the honor paid the guest that he should add in every possible way to the entertainment provided him, and his own self-respect should forbid that he be conspicuous from any lack in dress, which is the worst possible incivility.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

SUCCESS IN WORK.
A Medical Man's Recipe for Winning an Enviable Reputation.
Sir Andrew Clark, one of the most successful and distinguished of English physicians, has recently had a portrait of himself presented by the staff of the London Hospital. In his speech replying to the presentation address Sir Andrew gave some account of his life and of the causes of his professional success. His story deserves persual. Sir Andrew was born in Scotland, and went to London thirty-six years ago, a young man in delicate health, and without a single friend or influential connection. He had, however, a small patrimony, and was enabled to pursue the study of pathology, and to keep himself quite free from any intrigues or quarrels. He devoted himself to work, and before many years, despite ill health and opposition, he was made physician to London Hospital. His subsequent success was slow but continuous, and was achieved without any definite expectation at first that it would eventually be so brilliant. Sir Andrew gave the following as some of the conditions necessary for success in medicine:
"firstly," he said. "I believe that every man's success is within himself, and must come out of himself. No true, abiding and just success can come to any man in any other way. Secondly, a man must be seriously in earnest. He must act with singleness of heart and purpose, he must do with all his might and with all his concentration of thought the one thing at the one time which he is called upon to do. And if some of my young friends should say here: I can not do that—I cannot love work, then I answer that there is a certain remedy, and it is work. Work in spite of yourself, and make the habit of work, and when the habit of work is formed it will be transfigured into the love of work; and at last you will not only abhor idleness, but you will have no happiness out of work which then you are constrained from love to do. The man must be charitable, not censorius - self-effacing, not self-seeking; and he must try at once to think and to do the best for his rivals and antagonists that can be done. The man must believe that labor is life, that successful labor is life and gladness, and that successful labor, with high aims and just objects, will bring to him the fullest, truest and happiest life that can be lived upon the earth."—Medical Record.

"A Hartford, man. Buren County, (Mich.) man, who went West some years ago, got into trouble and the California penitentiary at the same time, and to save his family the disgrace caused somebody to write to Michigan that he had been shot and scaled by Indians. This would have made it all right if he had stayed dead, but a short time ago, while his widow was getting her tresses ready to marry a decent man, the villain spoiled every thing by getting out of prison and writing home to ask for his family.

A. Sign Which Caused the Loss of Two
Per Cent, on $40,000.
MIGHTY EXCLUSIVE
About a week ago a Detroit real-estate
leader became very tired and had the
following sign printed and posted on his
loot:
"No tramps need apply."
"No stamps been applied."
"No money to lend."
"Haven't a postage stamp to spare."
"No matches supplied."
"We have had the gripe."
"Have seen a dozen such winters."
"We are not 'in' to bores."
"We have no railpass pass."
"We don't want to invest in mines."
"No corn to be pared off."
"No stationery wanted."
"We don't sign any bonds."
The sign had been up a day or so when an old man opened the door very carefully and walked in, and after a bit observed:
"Interviewers will please keep out."
"I've been reading your sign out here."
He shut the door and went away, and half a day later that sign came down. The old man had $40,000 worth of land to sell, and he called upon another dealer and left his memoranda, with the remark that a man who was so mighty exclusive as that could never get near enough to the public to sell any thing.—Detroit Free Press.
"Then profit by it," was the brusque
rely.
Happiness Assured.
First paterfamilias—Beg pardon for intruding, but the fact is your son has proposed for the hand of my daughter; and as the two families are almost strangers, you knowing nothing of my daughter and I, nothing of your son, I thought it would be a sensible thing to come around and compare notes.
Second paterfamilias—Excellent ideal Has your daughter always had every thing she wanted—dresses, jewels, waiting-mails, and so on?
"No. She had to help her mother. How old was your boy before you stopped thrashing him?"
"Well, I thrushed him pretty regularly until I was nearly grown up."

ATHLETIC COLUMN
EDITOR, R. R. WHITMAN.
Owing to the lack of any regular university tennis courts this spring, the Athletic Association will probably make arrangements with the "West Lawrence Tennis Club," whereby our University matches may be played on their courts. These courts, two in number, are situated on the corner of Warren and Alabama streets, and are equal to any in the State. A number of our players also belong to this club, among them are Professors Canfield, Carruth and Winkler, and Potter, Bowersosx, Swank, Babbitt, Hill, Whitman, Peabody and Esterly. The membership of this club is limited but there are a few more vacancies we understand, and it would be well for all students who wish to play this spring to join this club. This lack of courts will undoubtedly be a very great hindrance in arousing a general interest in the game here, and is to be deplored. We must not however, loose the championship of the State, which we now hold, on that account. Let us all hope, and not only hope but work for the completion of permanent grounds on the campus.
The Courier has devoted some space lately in urging the organization of a fraternity base ball league this spring. While some argument might be produced in favor of the plan, yet on the whole it would be detrimental to the Athletic interests of the University to have such a league formed. The main objections, that it would seriously conflict with the college nine and a second nine which will be formed to furnish practice for the first nine. The reasons are evident. It is safe to say a majority of the players on both teams will be fraternity men, and they would naturally practice and play with their respective fraternity nines; this would divide the time and interest, and would undoubtedly weaken the college team. But there is a more serious objection. The college team will have games with other clubs, or practice games with the second nine on almost every Friday and Saturday after the season opens, especially if all the colleges enter teams for the pennant to be offered by the State Athletic Association. An interfraternity league would have to play at least two games a week to finish a schedule by June.
It will thus be seen that there would be conflict all along the line. Our college team must win the championship again this spring. Let us not sacrifice its interests, but unite our efforts in supporting one strong winning team instead of half dozen poor ones.
It might be well to note that the primary reason for a class or fraternity league is to develop material for the college nine. Whether it really does this is being seriously questioned at Harvard, Williams and other eastern colleges. But eastern colleges play their class or fraternity games in the fall, not in the spring. At that time the college nine has no regular dates and consequently there is little conflict between the two interests. That
is the time, if any to develop material for the college team the following spring.
The Washburn Argo urges with true patriotism that Kansas send a car load of students to Lincoln in May, and thinks that the Washburn orator and the K. S. U. ball nine will just about represent the best of their kind in the State. Some correspondence has been carried on with parties at Lincoln as to our sending our nine and tennis team, but to bring definite so far has been arrived at. It is probable, however that arrangements will be made to go.
Howard's Athletics last year amounted to about $25 for each student.
NOTES.
The local Athletic Board met this week. Important business was transacted.
The Alpha Delta Phi fraternity won the pennant in the series of fraternity games played at Cornell last fall.
A dramatic club has been formed it Cornell the object of which is to furnish money to and the athletic interests of the college.
The frat ball team will probably not play much this spring, but arrangements will be made for an active campaign in the fall.
Smith, '93, will probably do the twirling for the University nine this spring. Smith is not a new player and those who have seen his work in the box pronounce it first-class. Smith and Hickey are practicing regularly each day.
The Athletic Association will take steps to place our boating interest on some permanent basis at its next meeting. We have a number of oarsmen who with regular practice will be able to do fine work. The Winfield college boat team would like to arrange a race with the K.S.U.team.
The subscription papers circulated among the students for the "Athletic Field Fund," have been handed in to the committee.
The Science Club presented a very interesting program last Friday evening.
The first paper was a discussion of Elementary Electricity by W. S. Franklin. He gave the simple fundamental principles of electric currents and forces and their methods of measurement. He explained the common electrical terms, and why they are so called without going into technicalities. The paper was very interesting especially to those studying electricity.
SCIENCE CLUB.
The second paper was pesseted by E. E. Slosson and treated of the periodic laws of elements. His paper was the result of long and careful work, and showed a systematic study of the analogies between the known elements.
P. A. Williamson gave a review of the recent advance in science. Among other things he described the new Chicago tunnel and spoke of the present state of the Panama canal.
Beside these papers miscellaneous notes were presented by members.

Tug subscription lists for the Athletic Association have been called in. We do not know the full amount subscribed, but hope it will amount to enough to give the Athletic project a good start.
THROUGH an in advertisement the greater portion of Mr. Whitman's column was crowded out of the KANSAN last week. We shall endeavor to prevent any such mishap in the future. The Athletic column is to be an established feature and will be filled with fresh and interesting material each week. The name of Mr. Whitman as editor is assurance enough as far as that is concerned.
THE Literary Club held its first meeting with a program last Friday evening. The club is now an assured success. At Friday's meeting a large number of young ladies were present, and about twenty members signed the constitution. The club is paying off the expenses of the contest between the late societies of Orophilian and Athenaeum The piano and other furniture in the hall, formerly belonging to Orophilian society, have descended to the Literary Club. A debt of about $10.00 remains to be paid on the piano. After these various expenses are squared up the club will go on unhampered by the ghosts of the past. The founding of the Literary Club was no small task. It required a great deal of perseverance and energy, but the plan bids fair thus far to be an established success. One word of warning will not be out of place. Keep college politics completely out of the club elections. We believe this is the principle that the members intend to follow. The plan of work adopted we gave in fall in our last issue. It is broad and liberal, and its good effects are already beginning to be seen. We are glad to see one thing in the workings of the K U. L C., and that is the obliteration of all fraternity divisions. That is right. The only
way to run a good literary society is for each individual member to do the best work possible, without regard to the actions of others. The moment you bring the clique or the ring into the literary society, that society is as good as dead. That has been the case in the past at K. S. U. and the thing to be done now, is to learn by experience.
It is not the "social" element as has been so often suggested, which has injured the literary societies here in the past. The society element has to an extent done this. There is a great and a recognized difference between social life and "society" life. Let us by all means cultivate the social life of the University, and one of the ways of cultivating it is in the literary society. We think the great trouble with a large class of the students here, is that they give up social enjoyment for society pleasures. It is true "and pity' tis, 'tis true" that the "society" so called of K S. U. has held aeft from participation in the literary society because they were "old fashioned," took in everybody," were "tiresome," "poky" etc. Now the plain bold truth is just this. The work which it is possible to do in a first-class literary society, and the benefit you can get out of it, will be worth more to you in after life ten times over students, of K. S. U., than all the parties you can attend in a year. Parties, balls and "society" life generally will take you money, will occupy your time, but they won't develop your brains. Your may be able to handle cards like an expert, but it wont help you to handle men. Now we believe in moderation in all things. We don't believe in a student being a "jay" or a recluse, and we don't believe in a student being a dude or a top either. The golden mean can be found without much trouble, and in the golden mean alone lies the realm of good sense. What we have to say, we say to all alike Don't because you are a nonfraternity man, refrain from ever showing yourself in society when an opportunity offers; don't because you are a fraternity man confine yourself to what you consider "fashionable society. Get out among people. Get out among people. Be a live student. Be a rustler, and be a gentleman. Join a literary society and do good work in it. It will freshen you up. It will teach you to respect your fellow students. It will show you more sides of University life than you have seen before.In the past, it must be acknowledged, that the more fashionable part of the fraternity men have injured the literary societies by remaining outside and sneering at them: that another class of fraternity students have injured the literary societies by using them to further political schemes. It was reprehensible in both We are glad to say, that to-day this spirit is passing away. Fraternity men and nonfraternity men alike are working in
the literary societies, and a sensible, reasonable spirit is taking the place of the folly and narrowness of the past.
The Washburn Argo seems to think that an ungenerous jealousy prevented us from giving due credit to the Washburn orator, Mr. Naylor. That was not the idea. We are always glad to yield gracefully and cheerfully to our sister colleges when they walk off with the honors, if we think those honors deserved. It was not at all in the spirit of bitterness engendered by defeat that we made our comment in regard to Washburn's orator. We had then, and we have now the same opinion. We do not consider Mr. Naylor an orator of pre-eminent merit by any means. He is a manufactured orator. His oration was well written, it is true, and well composed. But when a man revises and re-revises, and speaks and re speaks, the same production six or seven different times, for as many different occasions, he ought to be able to bring it to a state approaching perfection, certainly. Constant hammering will make the coldest iron hot. The idea in Mr. Naylor's oration was moreover not new. Henry W. Grady's speeches are still fresh in our minds—too much so, unfortunately, for Mr. Naylor's oration, which suffers by comparison, for we cannot help but compare. What we think about "The Puritan and the Cavalier" is just this. A man well along in years, but without any brilliant oratorical talent, was determined to make a mark for himself as an orator. He took a familiar subject, treating a phase of our political life, and built an oration upon it. Year after year he hammered away at it, we are told, until the construction and composition had become well nigh perfect. And what is it? Why it is a well written composition, filled with platitudes on government, and a general rehash of past politics. Into this at appropriate points, was introduced a plentiful infusion of quotations, and the whole enlivened by the borrowed fire of Henry W. Grady, and A. W. Brewster of Washburn. There you have Naylor's oration. Add to this a stiff, rather impressive, but by no means eloquent delivery and you have Naylor, the orator.
This is the truth as we see it. We shall no doubt be censured and "sat down on" for expressing such heresies. College audiences are quite apt to swallow as the highest perfection of oratorical art, a clever combination of political maxims and formulas, combined with the oft reiterated doctrines of our great national documents and the sentiments of our great statesmen. They are good, and they are standard; but they represent no original ideas in the minds of those who incorporate them into their college orations. We do not condemn or mean to "run down" the Kansas orator, simply because he did not come from K.S.U. But when we are attacked for the stand we take, we do not mind stating the grounds
for our honest opinion. What we need is more honest opinion, even if it be unconventional. We have no desire to conceal our true opinion under a lot of fulsome flattery, as seems to be the tendency among some of the college papers.

He could make a fair trade.

EXCHANGE NOTES.
The principal thing the Drury Mirror seems to lack is more original editorial matter.
The Gospel should be preached to every creature, but whether every creature should preach, that is the question.—College Star.
The Mount Union Dynomo is a very well arranged paper. Its alumni columns are well filled and must be quite interesting to old students.
Our exchanges still persist in being cute about la gripe. We all know the articles are funny—yes very funny; but we have had plenty now, thank you. Just cut them off right here please; and, along with the witty McGinty jokes, consign them to "innocuous desuetude," or "bury them with a stake of holly through their hearts." — Washburn Reporter.
La Bellevue for March devotes the whole of its literary department to two long essays on "Time a Circle" and "The Uses of Time." The effect of these articles is somewhat modified by a very good poetical translation of "The Lorelei." The editorial page contains nothing but aphorisms on abstract virtues, very good in themselves, but amounting to nothing as editorials.
College Chips for February has an excellent article on "The Augustan Age in English Literature." College Chips is very interesting paper. The only trouble with it is that you turn over the leaves and are stopped short by a sort of supplement in a foreign tongue, which is doubtless very interesting to those who read Norwegian. We judge by this that Luther College has a foreign contingent among its students.
Nellie Bly Caps for ladies are the very latest at Abe Levy's.
The Harvard Advocate for February 28th is a dandy. The Senior Dinner Oration is splendid, and the Senior Dinner Poem is unrivalled. It is bright and witty, and is by far the best effort of the kind we have seen.
The February issue of the Pulse contained, as a very attractive feature, a page of poetry suitable to the time of its publication, which was near St. Valen tine's Day. We clip the following from the collection as expressing in tuneful numbers the condition of many a weary soul upon that days which should be fraught with none but merry memories.
"My true love hath remembered me," he gently breathed in accents gnomie; "She bath a tender heart," quoth he; he raves, he howls, he tears his hair. The valine is comic.
-Iowa Wesleyan.
The Hesperian still continues to lash the "frats" in general and those at Lincoln in particular. If the Greek chapters at Lincoln will sit humbly by and permit themselves to be "run over" by the Hesperian without attempting to publish a paper of their own, they deserve what they get. K. S. U. students, whether "barbs" or "frats," have too much pluck and ambition to permit one faction to run the papers to the exclusion of all others. If nothing better can be done we start a new paper here, and proceed to score the other side.
The Baker University Index for March is an excellent number. The article entitled "Suggestions as to Extemporaneous Speaking" is worth reading. The Index however is especially strong in its editorial department, which contains well written and sensible articles, and reflect credit on the editor. We second the Index's opinion that there should be lasting good feeling between K.S.U.and Baker.The apprehension that the Index seems to be under that literary societies at K.S.U.are endangered by the presence of the fraternities seems to us unfounded however.
Iowa Wesleyan for February is full of good things, among which is a very interesting series of brief articles headed "What Is Oratory," which are well worth the reading. From an article on "Too Much Society" we quote the following which we think quite pertinent:
The habit of running to excess in social matters, once formed, is almost impossible to break off, and the matter can not be looked at too seriously particularly by those just beginning their four years in college—the four years which will give the decisive "set"to their characters, and largely determine the trend of their after life. Many a student who has been drifting with the tide, and has quieted conscience by promising to turn over a new leaf next week or next term and do thorough work, has suddenly awakened to the fact that he has lost not only a year or two out of his course, but much of his power of concentration, and for what?

READING ROOM AND LIBRARY.
Regent Chas, S. Gleed has an article in the March Forum on the Western Farm Mortgages.
Those who are looking up on the question of the dispute between Portugal and Great Britian will find a twelve page article on the subject in the January issue of the Fortnightly Review. The February number also contains a discussion of the subject.
German literature students will find an interesting little article in the correspondence department of the February Fortnightly on "Mr. Gladstone; German Literature; a Protest," by Karl Blind. In the same department is found an article on "Oxford Tutors and their Professorial Critic," which those who wish to read about methods in English universities will find interesting.
Students taking newspaper work will and on excellent article on "The German Daily Press" in the Nineteenth Century for January.
Political Science students will find Prof. Huxley's articles in the Nineteenth Century for Januar, and February well worth reading. They are entitled,"On the Natural Rights of Man," and "Natural Rights and Political Rights."
"The Land and Its Owners in Past Times" is the title of an article in the Nineteenth Century for Februarv which will interest the students in Land Tenures.
When the class in The Rise of Democracy reaches the study of the Swiss Republic they will find it worth their while to read the article in the Edinburgh Review for January on, "Democracy in Switzerland."
The members of the Literary Club study Parliamentary Law at each alternate meeting. If any of them are interested in the historical study of Parliamentary procedure they will find that subject treated in the Edinburgh Review for January.
"The Road to Australian Federation" and "The Future of English Monarchy," are questions treated quite fully in February's Contemporary Review.
"The Wages of Labor," in the Edinburgh Review for January, "The Eight Hours Question," and "The Taxation of Ground Values," in the Contemporary Review for February, are articles which will be found very interesting to students of general economics.
The Missionary Review and other periodicals treating of missionary work have been contributed to the reading room by the mission board of the Y. M. C. A.
The Westminster Review contributed to the reading room by the Excelsior Club, has interesting
articles in the February issue on "Middle Class Education," "Property in Land," and"The making of Germany."
The March number of North American Review contains very able articles on "The Limitations of the Speakership." The two side are maintained by Speaker Ree and Ex Speaker Carlisle.
We are glad to see the New York Life in the reading room. It is by far the best of American humorous papers, and now the students will have something besides the Fliegende Blaetter to fall back on for jokes.
Attend Our Grand Sale
of Spring Goods. Our low prices will lay them all in the shade. Give us a look and see what we will do for you during the next ten days.

AN INTELLECTUAL RACE.
A Missionary's Ideas Regarding the Ma-
says of New Zealand.
Rev. James F. Taylor attended the meetings of the American Board of Missions held recently. He is an Englishman who has seen service in most parts of the world, and though now too old to engage in active work he takes a keen interest in every movement having for its object the conversion of the heathen. In a chat a reporter had with him previous to his departure for home he said that of all the natives he has come in contact with those of New Zealand interested him most.
"The Maoris, as the aborigines of New Zealand are called," said Dr Taylor, "are a noble race, and offer a startling contrast to the now almost extinct aborigines of the neighboring island of Tasmania, physically and intellectually. The Tasmanians, if indeed if any of them are yet alive, can not be taught to count beyond twenty, the number of their fingers and toes, whereas the Maoris are capable of a classic education. Indeed, many of them are in the New Zealand Parliament, and one of them at least—Wiremu Otaki—is an accomplished speaker. As warriors, lighting man to man, they are equal in every respect to the British, upon whom they have often inflicted disastrous defeats. Unfortunately, the white man's rums and the white man's vices are driving them out of existence, and, though a dash of their blood will show itself in the future Australian, as a race they are bound to go. The most erudite ethnologist can not tell how the Maoris got there. The islands composing New Zealand are 800 miles from the nearest continent, and the largest boat the natives have is no bigger than an Indian canoe. Then they resemble neither the South American Indian nor the native of the Australian continent. Their own theory is that the Great Spirit was fishing one time, and threw His line down from the sky to hook a whale. The hook stuck in the ground, and He pulled and puffed until He drew a mountain up to the skies, which is now called Rangarii. He flew along the clouds in a rage, and tried His luck 600 miles away with no better success, for this time He brought up Mount Egmont, a peak 10,000 feet above the sea level. Both these snow-capped peaks may be seen to this day by mariners far out at sea as a proof of the correctness of the tradition.
"It is not easy to convert the Maori, but once converted he is a pious and intelligent Christian. They all ride on horseback, and are very fond of fine and bright-colored clothing and jewelry. It is nothing uncommon to meet a Maori lady coming into town in complete riding habit stride of a fine horse, puffing away at a short clay pipe under her vail."—N, Y. Star.

ATHLETIC COLUMN
EDITOR, R. R. WHITMAN.
About a month ago a committee of twenty-five students was selected by the Athletic Board to solicit subscriptions for the Athletic Field Fund. Up to date somewhat over one hundred students have contributed one hundred and fifty dollars. The faculty has contributed one hundred and fifty dollars and is taking much interest in the work; surely five hundred students have patriotism enough to contribute at least three hundred and fifty dollars. This would make a total of five hundred dollars raised in the University and would insure substantial aid from the Regents, business men and alumni. We believe that the reason so few have contributed is that the matter has not been properly presented to them. The Athletic Board has therefore app pointed a committee to see all students who have not yet contributed. This committee should meet with a hearty response. The University can do nothing in the way of systematic Athletics until it has a permanent field. We have the finest location for a field possible at our very door, it should be a matter of pride with each student, to see this field cleared and made ready for use. The Athletic Board is doing its best to secure the necessary funds, but the active interest and support of each student is needed.
The Athletic Board held a long meeting last Saturday morning. Much important business was transacted. Charles B. Voorhis was elected captain of the ball nine and W. R. Armstrong manager. Mr. Armstrong was instructed to put the Massachusetts Street ball ground in shape immediately, and to purchase the necessary outfit for the team. Arrangements were made to use the courts of the West Lawrence Tennis club for match games and tournaments. The plans for the Athletic field were discussed at length and a committee with Prof. Carruth as chairman was appointed to consult with some contractor with reference to the grading. It was decided to select some crews for rowing, and have them practice regularly. Means were adopted to increase the fund for the Athletic field. It was decided to give a dramatic entertainment for the benefit of the ball and tennis teams. The following members were present: Professors Carruth and Winkler, and Messrs. Kellogg, Voorhis, Hickey, Whitman, Hall, Sherman and Armstrong.
Amherst has adopted an Athletic Board to control its Athletic interest. The board is composed of ten members namely, the presidents, respectively of the base ball, foot ball and the athletic associations of the college, the professor of physical education, two other members of the faculty and Frederic B. Pratt. Mr. Pratt is the donor of the new Athletic Field.
The base ball committee have selected the men for the University team, and a second team, and practice work will commence at once.
No.26.
The committee wish it understood that these are simply trial teams, until each player's work can be judged. No player will be retained on the nine who does not practice the required amount of time. The names of those on the University team at present are as follows:
L. A. Smith, ( ) Pitcher
E. C. Hickey, ( ) Catcher
J. B. Davis, ( ) 1st Base
C. B. Voorhis, ( ) 2nd Base
D. E. Esterly, ( ) 3rd Base
Bryce Crawford, ( ) Short Stop
Campbell Watson, ( )
W. E. Curry, ( ) Fielders.
W. E. Swank, ( )
These men have all played with one team before with the, exception of Smith and Crawford. Smith pitched for an Illinois college club last year, and two years ago for the Atchison club. Crawford played last year at the Salina Wesleyan and comes here with the reputation of being a good ball player. Taken all in all the team is a strong one
At last K. S. U. is to have a dramatic entertainment. The Athletic Board is making arrangements to present "Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon," as translated by A. G. Canfield. The play will be given at the Opera House and the proceeds will go toward equipping the ball team and for the other regular expenses. The cost will be found in another column of the KANSAN
NOTES.
In one half hour the students of Williams raised $809 for their ball team.
Three hundred dollars have so far been raised for the Athletic Field.
Abe Levy with his characteristic generosity is to furnish the ball nine with caps.
Kellogg, Nourse, Fox, Sherman,
"Peabody and Sears have joined the West Lawrence Tennis Club."
Those who intend to purchase tennis goods this spring would do well to see the editor of this column-
An Ohio inter-collegiate athletic association has been formed by Denison University, University of Wooster, Buchtel College and Ohio State University.
W. R. Armstrong is the new manager of the ball team and C. B. Voorhis succeeds John Davis as captain. Mr. Davis has filled the position creditably but when Mr. Voorhis resigned the captaincy last year it was understood that he should have it again when he felt able to take it.
The 1st Regiment Concert next Tuesday evening will be composed of 35 pieces.

THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURER.
Editor-in-Chief, Walter J. Sears. Published every Friday morning by THE COURIER COMPANY.
The article in the Courier of last week replying to our editorial of the week before on the fraternity question was a sensible one and well written. There are many mistakes in its statements, however, notably in the one referring to the colleges in which fraternities are located. We shall not stop to make any corrections or criticisms, but we are ready to give facts to prove every statement we made. There is one wrong impression which the gentleman writing for the Courier seems to be under. The KANSAN had no intention of implying that all non-fraternity students were such from necessity. We know that is not the case, and we recognize the right of non-fraternity students to maintain and express their own views on the subject. Our article was directed solely against those who give vent to such nonsense as "Barb" was guilty of. The KANSAN is a friend of the fraternity system, but it does not on that account propose to misrepresent any other body of students. A nonfraternity man if he is a gentleman, is just as good as a fraternity man. Those of either class who are not gentlemen are entitled to no respect, it matters not who they are. The KANSAN intends to be fair to all and unjust to none.
It has been the policy of the KANSAN to avoid any reference to matter appearing in the Courier, which might tend to bring on a newspaper fight in the University. We have occasionally seen things which we would have been inclined to sharply criticise in any other paper but the Courier, but for the sake of peace in the University we have said nothing. We feel however, and that has been a very general sentiment in the University, that the interview with Dr. Thwing published in last week's Courier is a disgrace to University journalism. We reproduce a few extracts:
"It's done; the Regents have spoken their little piece. After a
"I was exceedingly fortunate Wednesday evening in meeting the Chancellor elect. He seemed delighted to meet a representative of a University journal. (No doubt.) I am sure I was delighted to see the Doctor. We went into the mutual business at once.!"
deal of spitting and spurting and fussing and mussing, the new Chancellor has been selected."
Again "Yes, those were remarkable striking features; they were a study.—I read them."
"He is happy to be the possessor of a darling wife and child."
This is enough. The article is signed "Jay," who is, we doubt not, the editor-in-chief himself. Now this "familiar" style of interview may be considered quite chic by some, but the majority of sensible people consider it extremely bad taste. In our opinion it approaches impertinence when a young man uses such language in reference to an interview with a gentleman like Dr. Thwing, as "we proceeded to our mutual business at once." And the idea of referring to the work of the Regents in their long continued and patient endeavors to secure a good man as Chancellor of the State University, as "speaking their little piece," "spitting and spurting and fussing and mussing, is both discourteous and impudent.
We had intended at first to say nothing on this matter, but the universal disgust and condemnation which the "interview" produced, and the repeated requests to criticise it, have cause. us to say thus much.
Now dear Courier, you can come out next week and score us right and left if you want to. It don't make any difference to us if you do. It will produce no effect. We have no desire to pick a newspaper quarrel with you, but we do want it distinctly understood, that we consider it a disgrace that such stuff as that, should go out as the product of University journalism; and the majority of the students think the same.
HE rejoices best who rejoices last. We thought last week that since the Chancellorship question remained still uncertain, it would be wiser to wait until Dr. Thwing, who had been elected by the Regents, had given his acceptance. Our course proved best as things have turned out. We had hoped that with the installment of a man like Dr Thwing would come a new era for the University, an era in which the newspapers and the politicians would wield less influence in the control of the *University than they have in the past. It is the bane of the State universities everywhere, that until they begin to get a national reputation and become firmly established, they are subject to the same sort of political jobbey that to an extent controls all the other State institutions. No cool, sensible man of ordinary intelligence, can doubt that such an influence is baneful and depressing. Kansas University is now beginning to grow out of these influences, but there still seems to remain a sort of lingering sentiment among
some of the newspapers of the State, that the State University is simply one among many public establishments, which should be made to conform in every respect to the political bias of the State politics. The absurdity of politics influencing education should be apparent to every broad minded citizen. The idea of regarding the University as a training school for any political creed, if carried out, would wreck completely our system of higher public education. Yet this is just what those newspapers and politicians demand who are fearful lest any thing be taught the students which may lead them to study the respective merits of protection and free trade. We give this only as an instance. Now what has all this to do with Dr. Thwing. Well it has just this to do with him. No man of broad culture and intelligence, who can command the respect and the admiration of the students and educators of the State, and whose ability would fit him for a Chancellorship, will ever come to an institution like ours if he feels that in doing so he must sacrifice his high ideals and yield his better judgment to the wishes of a partisan legislature and a meddling partizan press. The University is going ahead rapidly and is gaining in strength throughout the State, but it makes us sick to think of the senseless prejudice and unreasoning opposition with which its every move is met. The Regents had selected a splendid man as Chancellor,—a grand and able man, who would have carried the University right to the front. No sooner was he selected ed than some of the strongest papers in the State began to violently oppose him because he was not "a Kansas man." When will this nonsense stop. Well it is over with now, and if the Kansas newspapers which saw fit to oppose Dr. Thwing on such grounds as these, have in any way influenced him to return a negative answer,they doubtless have reason to rejoice. It should be matter of regret to every broad minded and intelligent citizen.
The student who does not take advantage of the privileges of one of the literary societies is throwing away two-thirds of his College opportunities. Some one has said that literary work is worth any six studies, and we believe that is true. The precious stone, no matter how valuable it may be, does not show any of its brilliancy until it is highly polished. In this day a man or woman cannot make a complete success in life with a good amount of "book learning;" we need the polish which shall enable us to shine out and cast about us refulgent rays of powerful influence—Chaddock.
The success of George Kennan as a lecturer is unparalleled. Over two hundred consecutive nights is his record for this season. His remarkable success is due to the fact that he has something to tell, and tells it most pleasantly.

AN EDITOR LOOSE.
I would tree from the city's rule and law,
From its fashions and forms cut loose,
And go where the strawberry grows on its
straw.
And the gooseberry grows on its goose;
Where the cathartic tree is climbed by the cat
tree and becomes a garden ornament.
The guildless and unsuspecting rat
On the rattain bird at play.
I will catch at ease the saffron cow
and the cowlets in its hee, oo
As they leap in joy from back toough
On the top of a cowlsip tree
And list while the participles drums his drum
And the woodchuck chucks his wood
And the dog devours the dogwood plum
In the primal solitude.
Oh, let me drink from the moss-grown pump
That was hewn from a pumpkin tree!
Eat mush and milk from a rural stump.
Eat mush and milk from a rural stump,
from fashion and folly free.
New gathered mush from the mushroom vine.
Milk from the milkweed sweet With pincushion from the plant.
With pineapple from the pine.
(G+r-nusk) Machin-broke. Want a wore
glass.
(Glossy) Glass.
Then to the whitewashed dairy I'll run
Where the dairy maist haunting hies,
Her ruddy and golden butter to churn.
From the milk of her butterflies.
I'll rise at morn with the earliest bird,
To the fragrant barnyard pass,
And watch while the farmer turns his herd
And Walted Wilhelm the lairner turns his herd
of grasshoppers into a fountain.

EXCHANGE NOTES.
The Western School Journal is very interesting even to those taking no part in teaching. We are glad to receive it.
The Miami Student, is excellent throughout. Its editorials are strong and well written, and its matter as a whole is arranged in good form. Typographically it is a handsome paper also.
The Earlhamite is good little paper. It has no startling or remarkable features, but maintains a sort of an even tenor, which naturally belongs to a college paper long enough established to put "Vol. XVII" at the head of its page.
We have received Vol. 1. No 2, of the Pan-Hellenic, published at Missouri State University, by the Sigma Nu, Zeta Phi, Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternities. It gives promise of being a good paper.
The Hesperian seems to be getting it right and left, and it deserves it too. If all the rank injustice and senseless rant contained the Hesperian's tirades against fraternities were sifted out, there wouldn't be enough left to keep the paper bound between its covers.
Vol.1, No.1, of The Wesleyan Hatehet, published at Nebraska Wesleyan University comes to us as an exchange. It is quite a creditable paper, crude in places, but vigorous and giving signs of energetic backing. It contains several good articles, and the editorials with the exception of the first two, are good.
This is the first issue of the Chaddock since it became the style for every one to have the "la Grippe." Well we all had it and do not care for any more thank you. The following "poetry" suitable to this occasion is taken from one of our neighboring papers:
"Mr McGinty had a dog,
Mr. McGinty named him Enza.
Every time the door was open
Influence."—Chaddock.
For a young man to graduate from an institution of learning with out the ability to make a creditable speech is but to reflect seriously on the institution, and is an acknowledgement on his part that one of the important features of his education has been neglected. The man who knows but little, yet, can express that little well, will advance farther on the highway to success, it matters not whether in a professional life or in social or business circles, than the man with twice the education who can not give a single thought intelligibly to his fellow men.—Miami Student.
The following is from the University Argus:
"Judge Martin, in answer to a request of the legal editor to give him an item for the Argus, furnished the following report of an examination conducted by him when on an examining board in St. Louis a good many years ago:
Candidate: I don't know; unless it is where the attorney puts in his charge for services.
Examiner: What is the purpose of the charging part of a bill in equity?
Examiner: I see you have an eye for business.
Candidate: That's why I am here.
Examiner: What is a libel in admiralty?

The College Echoes, from Lane University, is the crudest specimen we have seen yet. The rural simplicity of some of its articles is extremely amusing. The faculty and students have adopted uniforms. The faculty will wear double breasted coats and the students single breasted ones. The suits are to cost $18.00 and are to be made of blue cloth. It is announced that "This suit will always be in style, even on Commencement Day." The twofold object of adopting the uniforms is stated to be, "economy and advertising." The Echoes also says:
"We have heard of one silly man who thought this had some connection with the G. A. R. There is no ground for such a thought. No more than to think that it had some connection with the Santa Fe Railroad."
Doubtless that man now feels relieved. We also learn that Lane is to have a new type writer, a surveyor's transit and a skeleton. The Echoes does not amount to much as a college paper, but it represents its institution well enough, no doubt.

The Miami Student speaking of the Kansas Wesleyan Advance says:
"It contains the winning oration delivered at the State Oratorical Contest The subject was "The Puritan and Cavalier." The exchange editor would like some one to inform him how many orations there are on this subject, as he has heard two delivered and read three on the same subject within the last month."

The Republican Record gives the University a good notice as follows-
Barn Opposite Lawrence House.
"We have just received the 24th annual catalogue of the Kansas State University. This institution has been making rapid strides within the last few years, and now stands at the head of all institutions of higher learning west of the Mississippi. The number of students in attendance for the college year of 1889-90 is 508, distributed in the various departments as follows: Science, Literature and the Arts, 354; Law, 57; Music, 59; Art, 40; Pharmacy, 31. Fourteen different states and territories are represented. When students are sent from almost all parts of the United States, it is pretty good evidence that the institution enjoys an excellent reputation throughout the country. Thirty-two of the best educators in the country are the instructors in this institution, and students have begun to realize that it is no longer necessary to attend Yale or Harvard in order to get a finished education, but that they can get it here at home, at the University of Kansas, and get just as good an article as they will have to pay three time as much for in the noted Eastern colleges. The present high standing of this institution, to which any Kansan can point with pride, is largely due to the earnest efforts of Professors James H. Canfield, F. H. Snow and J. W. Green. We notice that there are six students attending the University this year from Neo ho county; this number should be trebled next year."

If the readers of this article imagine from the heading of this article that they are going to read the history of an oriental "John," reveling in his opium den or wash-house they can banish such ideas, for the name is decidedly American being patented to prevent imposition and fraud in imitating the natural remedy that is regarded by thousands all over the Union as the greatest discovery in medical science of the century. The name is the reversal of the first two letters of the given and surname of the fortunate discoverer, Henry Jones. Four years ago Mr. H. B. Jones discovered on his farm in Washington county, Texas, a spring of oil flowing from a mass of petrified wood and moss. It is of dark color, heavy constituency and emits an offensive odor. It partakes somewhat of the nature of crude petroleum and is very penetrating, reaching the seat of any disease that flesh is heir to and is a soothing and healing balm in cuts, burns, scalds and all skin deseases. It is highly magnetic and electric, and, if we are to judge human testimony, it never fails to give both relief and cure. Mr. W. P. Bayes of St. Louis is general agent for the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois and Kansas and is rapidly establishing agencies in all the prominent cities of those states. Aircady Kansas is represented by offices at Leavenworth, Topeka. Independence and Lawrence, every one of which is meeting with wonderful success. So confident of its merits are the proprietors, that they give free applications at their various sanitariums to convince the incredulous public, and if Lawrence is a sample of the public confidence in its merits, Jo-He has thousands of votaries. We found the office and application rooms crowded with patients waiting for treatment. The oil is put up in hermetically sealed cans and enough oil of sassafras is used to counteract the natural odor of the oil and render it pleasing to the smell. The Lawrence branch was only established last January and now it is crowded with eager patients who give flattering testimonials of the value of the wonderful oil. The proprietors will guardeee a perfect cure in any case where the oil can penetrate to the seat of the disease and they have yet to find the first disease where that cannot be done. They have already effected thousands of cures accounted miraculous and are piling up testimonials from people of unquestioned veracity all over the union in endless quantities. The agent here will be pleased to give free applications to those who want to give it a trial. From present indications the discoverer of this wonderful remedy will be remembered by future ages for giving to the world a remedy to which thousands owe their lives. Nature does wonderful things in her wonderful interior laboratory, but she yet has to produce anything to compare with the wonderful oil. Jo-He. Write the agent at Lawrence for information and give it a trial.

No. 26.
ATHLETIC COLUMN.
EDITOR, R. R. WHITMAN.
The following by Howell Cheney, secretary of the Yale Athletic Association, is a concise and interesting statement of the method of managing the base ball interests at Yale.
The officers of the base ball association are elected by a meeting of the whole University. The president of the association is the manager of the ball team.
Immediately after the last game which occurs in June at Commencement, the members of the nine choose, by secret vote, the captain for the following year. The captain arranges the time for practice. Each candidate for a position on the nine, bats in the cage three times a week; and when the weather permits out-door work, beginning about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they run about fifteen minutes, then return to the cage and work on sliding and ground balls. When good weather comes they work two hours a day at the Field besides batting. The cage for batting in good weather is a frame work about 50x10 feet; cov-red with streng netting which reduces running after batted balls to a minimum. The captain selects the men, reducing the number of candidates as he sees fit.
Men in athletics are treated exactly the same in their studies as any one else, except that the 'Varsity teams are allowed a limited number of extra cuts. However they must stand examinations just as though they had attended all the recitations so that it is really harder for them than for others.
It is now over a month since the temporary organization of the state athletic association was perfected. If any thing is to be done this spring it must be done immediately. The secretary of the association, Mr. Tucker, of Washburn, was to draw up a constitution and present it to the various college associations for adoption. Surely five weeks is time enough to draw up such a simple constitution as was required, yet it has not been done or else has not been presented. The officers of the association should have the constitution presented for adoption immediately. Then offer a pennant for base ball, tennis and what other sports it may be deemed advisable to include. The colleges wishing to compete could then signify their intention to do so, and a schedule of games might be arranged
In purchasing the suits for our representatives in athletics care should be taken to get the caps and belts at least, in the University colors, corn yellow and blue. These colors work up nicely in the suits and will be a means of distinguishingly our players wherever they go. We ought to show our colors more, since before the last oratorical contest, few of our students knew what the colors were. This is a matter to which that the athletic board should pay immediate attention too.
NOTES
The pleasure trip of Mr. Perrichon is well under way. This
promises to be the event of the season.
Both the ball and tennis players were out preaching last Friday.
Harvard is tavoring a dual league with Yale on all sports.
Harvard, Yale and Princeton have advisory committees composed of alumni guiding, their athletics and have as yet experienced nothing but good results from them.
Our ball players are practicing daily. More work should be done in bathing however, as this is almost entirely neglected except on Friday and Saturdays.
Arrangements have been made with Graber for the use of his two rowing shells every afternoon until Commencement. The following teams have decided to practice regularly: W. W. Brown and Barber, Hadley and Robinson, Royster and Riddle, and Palmer and Robinson. We can expect to have an interesting race by Commencement.
The annual meeting of the Southwestern Tennis association will be held in Kansas City soon. The association is composed of the Linwood, Kansas City and Dykinton park clubs of Kansas City, St. Joseph Tennis Club, Topeka Tennis Club, El Dorado Tennis Club and K. S. U. Tennis Club, J. H. Farrish of St. Joseph is president of the asociation.

THE Washburn Argo comes out this week and boils over with wrath at our editorial on Naylor's oration. The shoe seems to fit, Mr. Argo.
The University Review for this month is a splendid number, and does great credit to its enterprising and able editor. Two of the orations presented at the local contest are given. Glen Miller has an interesting chat about Germany and German ways. The "Month" department is excelent. Mr. Bear is making a good record this year on the Review.
PROF. SNOW has secured several specimens of meteorites from Kiowa county lately. He obtained first a specimen weighing 101 pounds, and has now found two others weighing 60 and 70 pounds. Washburn college secured by far the largest and is to be congratulated. The meteorites are composed of malleable iron and nickel, and have rough hard surface. Imagine chunks of iron weighing hundreds of pounds flying red hot through the air, and then be thankful that these big meteors landed out in Kiowa county where there are fewer people to hit than there would be if they should chance to fall in Douglas. Speaking of a natural history topic reminds us of the work Prof. Dyche is doing over in the museum. He is busily engaged in building his artificial crags on which he is going to perch his eight mountain goats. The structure is a large one located in the upper museum, and is going to be another trumph of Prof. Dyche's fertile genius. "It is an experiment, he says, but I am going to make it work." It is in truth rapidly assuming the appearance of a ledge of natural rock, and we believe the work will be a very admirable one when finished, and will add much to the attractions of the museum. It is a good deal for a University to have men who are willing to work for it, and it is a good deal more for a University to have men who know how to work. Prof. Dyche is both.
Mr. B. W. Woodward read a very interesting paper before the Seminary last Friday afternoon on "The Genesis of the Republican Party." He traced the growth of the sentiments and the operation of causes that brought about the dissolution of the old parties in the North and the amalgamation of the unionist and anti slavery elements into the Republican party. His sketch was able, exhaustive, and was enlivened by personal reminiscences. The subject was treated from the historical standpoint, and was in no wise a party speech. Yet when we see represented to, us just the causes and conditions surrounding the party's early growth, it makes the average young man (in Kansas) feel as though there was a higher and more noble purpose permeating the early councils and movements of the great Republican party than any other living party organization can boast of. Mr. Woodward held a large audience interested to the end, and he deserves the thanks of the University people for his valuable paper.
We notice in many of our weekly exchanges a curious commingling of literary and news matter. In our opinion when there is more than one paper in a college, one should be devoted to literary productions, and the others to the presentation of college news. The effect of mixing up short stories, contributions, editorials and local matter all within the limits of a weekly sheet is not commendable. It makes the paper go halting as it were, not having enough literary material to raise the standard sf the paper, and not containing enough news to make it interesting. In our opinion the average college weekly should confine itself to the publication of current events in its own and other institutions, with editorial comments on topics of current interest among students, not attempting any literary pretensions whatever. By this we do not mean that material found in a college weekly should not possess literary merit. This is necessary of course to maintain the paper at a high standard. What we protest against is the vain attempt of some college weeklies to combine the qualities of a literary monthly with those of a college newspaper.
A PETITION was circulated Wed- desday among the students for signatures, requesting that the taculty change the date of holding the spring vacation from April 10th to April 3rd. The custom is each spring to give a vacation beginning Arbor Day and lasting until the following Tuesday. There is no particular idea in giving a vacation on Arbor Day to college students, as the students do not go home to plant trees anyway. But we do need a short inter-mission during the long term, and at the close of the first half term is a very convenient point for such an intermission. If the petition is accepted by the faculty, the vacation will be placed
immediately after the half term. There will thus not be such an interruption of studies as would exist if the intermission is delayed until April 10. Another argument brought forward in the petition is that those students who wish to spend Easter at home can do so. We do not regard this as a valid argument, as a state institution is not expected to observe a strictly church holiday. The petition however is a good one and we hope it will be adopted.
READING ROOM AND LIBRARY.
If you want to get a good clear idea of the contents and value of the best books as they come out, we would advise you to read the Literary News. It is interesting and gives good criticisms. An article in the March on "Idle Reading" is good.
After somewhat the same style is The Publishers Weekly, which is particularly valuable to those who are buying books. Many interesting points can also be found in the reading matter contained.
The Writer is a little magazine found in our reading room, which we do not believe is very much read by students. It contains many exceedingly interesting articles. The Writer is contributed to the library by Prof. Carruth.
The Andover Review, despite its dismal blue cover, contains much that will interest students. In the March numder is a good article in sociology on the "Problem of Pauperism." "The Political Rights of Negroes" is discussed in the editorial department. In the book reviews also will be found much interesting matter.
The New Review, contributed to the reading room by Prof. Dunlap, is a magazine which mingles articles on literature politics and sociology, together with an occasional novel, within the limits of its pages. It is a handsome magazine, well printed, and has met with decided success, although only in its second volume. The January number contains many interesting articles, among which is "Trades Unionism for Women" by Lady Dilke, which some of our students of political economy may find it worth while to read.
The Political Science Quarterly for March contains an article on "Alexander Hamilton," which comes in very well for the Junior class in American History, which is just now studying that part of United States History in which Hamilton played such an important part. In the same issue is found a very interesting article on "Citizenship of United States." If you want thorough and interesting criticisms and reviews of recent works on topics in Political Science and History, the department of Reviews in the Political Science Quarterly will be found to be the best.

A WASHINGTONS BIRTHDAY THOUGHT,
If Washington had lied that day
He chipped the cherry tree,
How different it would have been—
Our country's history!
For none can doubt that had he lied
Old Bushrod would have jumped
For his right heavy bickery stick,
And George's life out thumped.
And then—ah me!—our loved State
Indeed would have been sad:
For if G. W, then had died
It would have had
No Dad!
—New York Life

The Coup d'Etat speaks of a "cinque" party. We suppose it meants "haute cinque."
The Baker Beacon has a new head. Improvement seems to be the aim of its managers, who are genuine rustlers.
The Ottawa Campus for March is a good issue. It is well arranged, and contains much interesting matter.
The Wesleyan Advance for March contains a local contest oration on "Our Debt to the Puritan." Murder will out.
The Washburn Reporter is just now busily engaged in annihilating the Baker Index. We are waiting to see what Bro. Brummitt will say.
The last issue of the Hesperian goes for the Courier, and casts some miserable aspersions on the literary societies here. We hope the Courier, will give that paper a flattener. It seems to need it badly.
The Delphic for March contains a long article on "The Philosophy of Philanthropy." We find also quite a good article on "Single Land Tax." The editorials are also good.

Few college journals in Kansas really contain more reading matter in the course of a month than does College Life. Our type is small and set 'solid,' so that our pages contain more than their size would promise. Our four page weekly amounts to considerably more in a month than the sixteen-page monthly which present a much more imposing appearance.—College Life.
Wonder if that question is agitating the minds of our Senior girls.
We are pleased to learn this. We were not aware of it before. This refers to size it seems and not to quality,—a wise discrimination.
The University Journal, from Southwestern Presbyterian University prints a eulogy on Jefferson Davis as one of the declamations delivered at the Washington's birthday celebration there. We fail to see the connection between Jefferson Davis and George Washington. The local column contains some pretty tough specimens
The literary portion of the March Coup d'Etat is filled with Washington's birthday productions. The exchange columns are not as good as usual, and contain a great deal of foreign material. Here is a specimen:
Young ladies' boarding school. Professor—"What can you tell me of Pluto?"
Miss D.,"He was the son of Satan, and when his father died he gave him hell."
The editorial columns as usual are good.
The writer had the pleasure of listening to Prof. J. H. Canfield's address before the Teachers' Association at Clay Center Saturday night. "The Essentials of Good Citizenship" was handled in a masterly and instructive manner, and added fame to the already famous orator. He pointed in glowing terms to some of the defects in our government, to the necessity of every voter familiarizing himself with political issues, and then voting as his better judgment dictates. The professional politician received a severe handling by Mr. Canfield. Take the lecture as a whole it was the best it has ever been our pleasure to listen to, and we believe that every listener was of the opinion that Prof. Canfield is the man for Chancellor of the State University.—Clay Center Dispatch.

The best poetry that has been written in Kansas this year is being written by Miss Nannie Pugh of the State University.

THE PLUMBER-MAN.
[A and but true story, as related by Thomas Tud, a small boy, to his friend, Charley Biogson. Done into rhyme for the Cincinnati Literary Club]
The Plumber man came up to plumb
My uncle's pumph, in town.
First place, he torre the cullar up,
Then torre the gurret down;
And then he told us with disgust
That mary one the pipes was bast.
He jumped into his burry quick,
And that he drove away.
But put back, with a load of tools,
Another man, next day,
Named Ie, who brought along with him
An oney boy called Warty Jim.
This Lie he pumped and pumped the pump;
the boy ponied water in;
The man kept jawing at the boy;
the boy jawed back up;
Then both sat down and ate a snack,
before they took the wagon back.
Next week the boss he came along,
and at the pump he treasured.
He sent me for the movie wrench,
White he went wound round,
And pried the mantle pieces out,
And he macered off the water spout.
Bluntly he hurried off and sent
Three Dutchmen and some wire.
We were trying to move away and made
a smoky choreal fire.
When they had smoked their pipes, *their*
Took up that stove and went away.
Well; after that, I recollet
a chap with *soldier* came;
And then a tired colored gent
Who brought more of the same;
Then up this like he came over more
And at the other two he swore.
The loses then ride up, with his boy
That oneyee, sassy gump;
He said there was no other way
But buy a brand new pump;
But uncle looked below the sink
And found the leak as quick as wink.
And uncle took a piece of rug
And tied it round the leak.
And then the pump was all O. K.
But in about a week
The Pump had run in his bill.

JO·HE.
If the readers of this article imagine from the heading of this article that they are going to read the history of an oriental "John," reveling in his opium den or wash-house they can banish such ideas, for the name is decidedly American being patented to prevent imposition and fraud in imitating the natural remedy that is regarded by thousands all over the Union as the greatest discovery in medical science of the century. The name is the reversal of the first two letters of the given and surname of the fortunate discoverer, Henry Jones. Four years ago Mr. H. B. Jones discovered on his farm in Washington county, Texas, a spring of oil flowing from a mass of petrified wood and moss. It is of dark color, heavy constituency and emits an offensive odor. It partakes somewhat of the nature of crude petroleum and is very penetrating, reaching the seat of any desease that flesh is heir to and is a soothing and healing balm in cuts, burns, scalds and all skin deseases. It is highly magnetic and electric, and, if we are to judge human testimony, it never fails to give both relief and cure. Mr. W. P. Bayes of St. Louis is general agent for the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois and Kansas and is rapidly establishing agencies in all the prominent cities of those states. Already Kansas is represented by offices at Leavenworth, Topeka, Independence and Lawrence, every one of which is meeting with wonderful success. So confident of its merits are the proprietors, that they give free applications at their various sanitariums to convince the incredulous public, and if Lawrence is a sample of the public confidence in its merits, Jo-He has thousands of votaries. We found the office and application rooms crowded with patients waiting for treatment. The oil is put up in hermetically sealed cans and enough oil of sassafras is used to counteract the natural odor of the oil and render it pleasing to the smell. The Lawrence branch was only established last January and now it is crowded with eager patients who give flattering testimonials of the value of the wonderful oil. The proprietors will guardenete a perfect cure in any case where the oil can penetrate to the seat of the disease and they have yet to find the first disease where that cannot be done. They have already effected thousands of cures accounted miraculous and are piling up testimonials from people of unquestioned veracity all over the union in endless quantities. The agent here will be pleased to give free applications to those who want to give it a trial. From present indications the discoverer of this wonderful remedy will be remembered by future ages for giving to the world a remedy to which thousands owe their lives. Nature does wonderful things in her wonderful interior laboratory, but she yet has to produce anything to compare with the wonderful oil, Jo-He. Write the agent at Lawrence for information and give it a trial.
