Y Latest p. ts Street, KANSAS. THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR VOL. VIII LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL. 4, 1890. His Equal. Senator Evarts, of New York, has a nation-wide reputation for his interminable and labyrinthian sentences. In a recent speech before the Senate on the Blair Bill the distinguished statesman returned to his famous practice. The following is a pretty fair sample: If these great things were done without preparation, to be sure the human mind and the moral government of this world are not to be changed about that situation; it is the resources of our men, of our people, of ourselves that will go on with that conciliation of antagonistic and consistent conditions of society in any portion of the country that will take the place of the preparation that the inexorable laws of conduct by the nation render impossible. It is said that Editor Dana and Col. Ingersoll are wreaking their brains over its solution. But Senator Evarts does not stand alone in this particular. K. S. U. has a man who merits more than an equal division of the glory. He is one of Prof. Green's promising young ones and it is said that he is a man of exceptional parts. We wish to say further that his name is T. D. Lieb. If you don't believe that Senator Evarts has a dangerous rival please read the following: As long as I do not infringe on the liberties of others I claim the right to think as I please, to speak as I please, to act as I please, to drink as I please and no mutual admiration society whose members thank God that they are not as others, who claim the monopoly of all morality and say: We are the people and Wisdom will die with us—no faction of Adullmites whom the Scriptures tell us were composed of malcontents, the dissatisfied, the discontented, the disgraced and the dishonest of both parties who had collected in the cave of Adullam for a consultation—no set of chronic snarlers and spleeant malignant backbiters whose breasts are green with gal and whose tongues drop venom who have called our last two Presidents respectively "a beer guzzling, beef eating libertine" and "a hypocritical Pharisee," no band o long haired men and short haired women, the unsexed of both sexes the feeble, the foolish, and the ef feminate of one, and the enzied fanatical and virile of the other—no collection of canting, whining sanctimonious, self-elected, self satisfied, self-glorified, self-sanctified, and self-sufficient, all- sufficient and insufficient bigots whose red faces and blazing noses form a constant and conclusive contradiction to their solemn asservations of absolute abstinence, and who are continually and everlastingly washing their filthy fingers in holy but invisable water with sacred but imperceptible intangable and ineffectual soap, have any moral right under heaven to set themselves up as a standard for humanity to enact a law that will render absolutely worthless millions of dollars worth of property and to create a Draconic and Proenestean Code, and to prosecute and persecute all who are unwilling to conform thereto. There is no need to comment. K. S. U. always has a way of getting to the front. The notice of vacation posted on the bulletin board this week was as a lighthouse to the quizz tossed student and insured him a haven of rest and place of retreat from the waves of interrogation points which have rolled over him during the last week. An inoffensive Law wrote something like the following in the COURIER'S note book and we cannot retrain from giving it: The L. E. of this paper thinks that a watch in the pocket is worth two in the pawn-shop and will spend his vacation in Lawrence. Mr. Kennan portrayed truely the horrors of a despotic government. We acknowledge, George, that it is mighty inconvenient to have to submit to it. We know a little something about absolute monarchies ourselves and get it by actual experience. Instead of the Czar of all the Russias it is the fair Czarina of all the Libraries that wields the scepter in our realm and no Siberian exile ever cringed before dreaded knot as does the most haughty Senior before her frown of disaproval. But when we reflect what a perfect Bedlam that library would be in twenty-four hours without her rule, we can easily be reconciled. Yes, a monarchy is more acceptable than a state of anarchy. The students of the L. B. C. have followed in the footsteps of their rural sires and have organized a Farmer's Alliance. We might expect to hear of them in a few days passing resolutions and "whereases" against our ornamental but useless senior senator. Will He Accept? At the next meeting of the Regents, Prof. F. H. Snow will be offered the chancellorship of the Kansas State University. It is generally believed that he will accept Prof Snow would have been given this position months ago, but he would not hear to his nomination. The people of the State have been unanimous in the opinion that, if Prof. Snow desired the promotion, it should be willingly and heartily given him. None have denied that his long and fruitful labors merit the greatest reward by the people of Kansas. But Prof. Snow has always said that the many and responsible duties of his present chair demanded that he should retain it. He has believed that the chancellorship would seriously interfere with a work to which his life has been devoted. But this offer comes now more as a demand from the people of the State: the chancellorship has come to Prof. Snow. Under these circumstances it is very probable that he will accept the leadership. If he does, none will be more hearty than the congratulations of the COURIER. Wild rumors were afloat on the hill last Monday. The purport them was that about three-fourths of the Faculty and all the brains of the institution had resigned leaving the students to the tender mercies of John the fireman, and what not. The COURIER man made it his business to ascertain the cause of these reports and found that Mr. E. C. Franklin had asked for leave of absence for one year to perfect himself in the study of Chemistry. Mr. W. S. Franklin intends to spend three years in Germany in the study of Physics. His wife will accompany. Mr. Max Winkler before going to Germany to complete his education was advised to teach a year for the practice it would give him and consequently accepted the position of assistant in German in K. S. U. He will probably go to Germany next summer. Miss Adelade Rudolph gave notice last year that this would be the last year she would teach and she will probably hand in her resignation at the next meeting of the Board of Regents. No cause was assigned. Although K. S. U. will miss from her list of competent instructors these four popular and worthy tutors she cannot complain, as in most every case it is for the improvement of themselves and in their respective branches. The COURIER hopes that when the time comes for them to pass an examination the cold sweat will not gather upon their brows but they will show what they know with that sublime tranquility which they have heretofore expected from some poor High School graduate, and return to their Alma Mater burdened with honors and fame. The hall of the Literary Club was not crowded last Friday evening, yet it is to be doubted if a program productive of more good could have been rendered. The time was devoted entirely to the study of Parliamentary Law, and all present were thoroughly compensated for the effort of climbing the hill. The program was appropriately opened by a history of Parliamentary Law by President Peairs. A large portion of the time was then devoted to the discussion of questions involved in Parliamentary practice. The discussions were opened by papers prepared by the members. The most interesting part of the evening, however, was the practical application of the principals studied by means of what is crudely called a "Parliamentary scrap." Mr. Roberts presided. This strongly reminded one of the stormy scenes enacted in Athaenum, during the latter part of her career, and was so prolonged that adjournment had to be taken before the business of the evening had been completed Those absent missed a treat; those persent will look forward to the next meeting devoted to Parliamentary Law, not with thoughts of a dry, irksome evening, but rather with anticipations of pleasant, fruitful enjoyment No.28. We might remark here, however, to some who do not appear thoroughly in earnest, that if you are not enough interested to attend regularly, the club will not be long in finding it out, and its motto is: "No drones allowed." The Freshman Elocution class has stopped "sinking" and "swimming" and has died and passed into "inocuous desuetude" as might have been expected from such rapid living and surviving. Instead of meeting once a fortnight, as is booked, it met twice a week and so completed the course in a much shorter time than usual. short time than usual. This wise move will preclude the necessity of climbing the hill in company with old Sol, to "sink or swim" with the thermometer 108 in the shade with prospects of a rise in refrigerators. Hill and Dale. Dr. E. G. Blair, better known as Phi Gam Blair, was recently appointed Staff Physician of Roosevelt Hospital, New York city. A good one on Swank and Sherman: How is it, does West Lawrence society appreciate the company of gentlemen callers after 12 o'clock? Frank Cromwell of '87, a loyal K. S. U. student and a member of Phi Gamma Delta has his Courier sent to New York City where he attends Columbia College. A. C. Markley who was reported dangerously injured last week is improving rapidly. We are glad to hear it The Freshman Themes which have been returned present the most sanguine appearance of any series of essays which have been subjected to the criticism of the English department since that department existed. J. A. Mushrush and S. C.Brewster have gone to Chicago to attend the National Convention of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Prof. S. M. Cook, Chapman Kan. class '86, principal of the only County High School in the state, is in the city attending the meeting of the School Principals association. W. S. Jenks, class '87, now principal of the Abilene High school, read a paper before the Principals association now in session here. C. H. Sears is rusticating near Eudora, during vacation. W. D. Ross will vacate at his home in Jefferson Co. Spring fever arrived in town last week. Fox was on the sick list this week. W. M. Curry is visiting at the paternal residence in Nortonville. He of course goes and comes by way of Topeka. Marlin McCreight and Ross Gilluly are spending the vacation at their homes in Oskaloosa. S. M. Simmons and W J. Sears are in Topeka preparing for the special meeting of the Legislature. Coutts, Crowell, Mustard and Miss Bowersock were excused from the half-term examination in second term French; thus a good class record is rewarded. Prof. Snow tailed to meet his Zool, class last Tnes., perhaps because it was All-fools-day. Slossen photographed the Chemistry class last week. He secured a very good negative.

TELEGRAPH CLUB, President, Prof. Blake We are heartily glad the report that Prof. J. H. Canfield had resigned his professorship is utterly false. The Kansas State University can not afford to lose such an able and eminent instructor. The loss would be wholly irrepairable. ALL will wait anxiously for the termination of the leave of absence of Prof. Ed Franklin. Kind, earnest and able, Ed Franklin is a prime favorite among all the students. He leaves with the hearty good will of all. If it is true that Miss Rudolph has resigned her position as assistant to the chair of Latin, there is indeed great cause for regret. Miss Rudolph is an excellent instructor, and it will be hard to find one so suited for her position. In the resignation of Prof. Will Franklin the University loses an able and earnest instructor—an instructor possessed of a mental breadth and strength far beyond his youthful years. Determined and energetic, Mr. Franklin has a future of superior promise. It is possible that he will resume his labors here after the completion of his studies in Germany; it is the unanimons hope that he will. THE selection of Prof. Snow for the chancellorship of the University is certainly a wise and judicious one. He is preeminently fitted for the responsible position. That his masterly executive ability and broad intellectual will add to the strength of the University, and that he deserved this honorable recognition, none will deny. One thing is sure, the people of Kansas—a people to whom he has given a long and inestimable service—will hear of his election with hearty approval and satisfaction. With hearty congratulations, the COURIRER welcomes Prof. Snow to the leadership of the Kansas State University. THIS howl for the ejection of Prof. J. H. Canfield from the University is becoming extremely senseless. It is almost impossible to believe that Kansas—that state whose name is synonomous with all the noble triumphs of modern civilization—that Kansas should father such arrogance and such bigotry. And this yell is all the more intolerable because it is undeserved. As an instructor, Prof. Canfield is guiltless of every charge thrown in his face by those frothing demagogues, these bigots know it; but making a fortress of their ignorance, they then secure a chance to turn their puerile fire upon private and personal opinions. For shame that American men should stoop so low! The friends of right and honor and decency pray that this howl may cease. READING THE NEWSPAPER Bv J D. MOPFAT 'Should the college student read the daily paper?' It is not necessary that he should in order to do well his work as a student. The branches of learning set before him in the college curriculum are sufficient to occupy the whole of the time he can give wisely to the acquisition of a liberal education; and, if he master them, he will be a liberally educated man, even if he is ignorant of all that mass of miscellaneous information and misrepresentation gained by indiscriminate reading of papers. The purpose of the newspaper is simply to inform, to put the reader in possession of facts, rumors and guesses. Even if the paper selected for daily reading has a high character as a newspaper, and publishes only carefully selected facts, expressed without exaggeration, and can be relied on to report only the true events of the preceding day, still it exerts little or no disciplinary effect on the mind of the reader. At its best it but furnishes raw material, and the ultimate product will vary according to the power, delicacy, poise, and subjection to sound principals, of the mind into which the material is poured. This is by no means disparagement of the newspaper. Its place in the world of thinking and acting men is of great importance. But it is not a teacher of the young; though it may be called an instructor of informer. It cannot take the place of the school, nor do the main work of the educator. It must be noted, however, that papers are usually more than news reporters, and discuss and advocate principals, political, social and literary, and so far do a work for the reader similar to that of the teacher; but as a rule this is a subordinate function, and a large proportion of readers ignore it altogether. So far, too, as the ordinary newspaper advocates political principals its methods differ widely from those of authors whose text-books have educational value. The chief motive of the political article is to gain some advantage over the other party, and the reasoning is often more specious than sound. So far as this mode of advocacy cultivates the habit of giving a ready and unquestioning acquiescence it is virtuous. Men are trained to be good followers, and true independence of thought is hindered. The book, on the other hand, worthy of a place as a text-book, whilst it may advocate definite principles, can be relied on to do full justice to the other side, and by its quotations and citations, it stimulates inquiry and invites to the study of the other side. "But if the college student is not bound to read the newspaper may it not be helpful to him to do so?' It may be so in some measure. If he never reads it, he enters the world at the end of his college career quite too ignorant of the affairs about which men generally are concerned to be of much service for awhile at least. A wise and limited use of the daily paper furnish many occasions for the applications of the principles he is considering in the class room, and for the exercise of his partially educated powers. The mere book-worm and antiquary is not the ideal outcome of any college course, even if dead languages, abstract mathematics and the literature of past centuries do constitute the principal mental pabulum. The observing and judging powers and the habit of persevering study are cultivated for use in the actual world of the present; and a part of that actual world lies outside the college world, and is brought into it by the newspapers. "But what is a wise use of the newspapers?" This is not an easy question to answer, for the reason that all use is individual, and wisdom may have a different dictate for each reader and with respect to each newspaper. Rules applicable to all readers and all papers are apt to be too general to be of practical value. But let us try a few. First, read no more of your paper than you can be profited by. No paper is designed to be read through by any one—even its own editor. It is prepared to furnish something for a greater variety of people. It is like a bill of fare from which wise people select according to taste. It is astonishing how little time it takes to read an ordinary daily when we scrupulously observe this rule. It is true the rule is vague, and therefore one student will spend ten times as much time as another over his paper, and try to defend himself; but an honest inquiry, "what do I really care for that item?" will cause the skipping of many a one which an idle and profitless curiosity would otherwise lead us to read. A mere glance at the arrests, the accidents, the scandals, the fires, robberies, murders, prize fights, congressional squabbles, politician gossip, interviews, will show you whether any of your friends are involved; and if they are not, where is the profit of reading? Second. read only what is intended for people of your taste, education and moral character. All classes and conditions of men are provided in the papers with information suited to them. Some items are not for students, but for fellows of the baser sort, who could not be in all low places in one night and must be informed of detective work and brutal scenes. Several columns are devoted to market prices: these you really skip, as not for you; but unfortunately we all have something in common with the immoral classes and interest in their immortalities springs up in us too easily. But students are aiming at a nobler type of manhood and cannot afford to feed on such stuff. Imagination lends itself as readily to the forming of low ideals as of high: and familiarity with the low soon weakens that wholesome disgust for the low which contact with the pure and noble in life and thought tends to create. Third, do not allow your opinion to be readily changed or formed by what you read in the papers. Personally editors are as truth-loving as any other class of men, but their chief concern as editors of news papers is to gain reputation for promptness and reliability. The desire for the reputation of promptness is inconsistent with the care needed for thorough investigation; and the acknowledgement of mistake would break down the reputation for reliability. Besides error and exaggeration attract more attention than commonplace events, and they obtain a far more prominent place than correction of them. When the papers brought us news of the Johnstown flood, the matter of first importance was "how we got there before the other paper." When we had mastered that report we were allowed to read about the flood itself. This craze for getting ahead as a newsgatherer makes the news itself of dubious character. We shall not lose much if we adopt the principle of withholding credence from any item that seems at all improbable, until it be confirmed by later reports. With caution one may learn from newspaper reading the actual state of society and be enabled thereby to correct false impressions gathered from text-books or find illustrations of established principles, and so obtain some help as a student. Washington Leffersonian. MRS J. K. HUDSON, wife of the editor of the Topeka Capital, is possessed of literary ability of a high order, and has already done considerable good work. A serial story, "A child of Erin," is now running in her husband's paper. As yet Mrs. Hudson's fame has penetrated but little outside of her own state, but it will not be long before her fame will be confined only by its author's possibilities. —Printers Album. By the consolidation of the Lawrence Journal and Tribune Mr. John M. Steele has been retired from his position as local editor of the former paper. As a member of the Law School, Mr. Steele is well known in University circles. His work on the Journal has been perfectly satisfactory: earnest, able and energetic, his first efforts in journalism give promise of a pleasant, and distinguished future. As a laborer with him we have been convinced of his stirring and exceptional qualities. In his endeavor to climb the ladder of life as well as that of journalism, Mr. Steele has our best wishes.

THE Kansas City Times in speaking of the Missouri and Kansas State Universities says editorially: Wear Abe Levy's "Otego" collar, it is E and W's latest. Take for instance a Kansas or Missouri state teacher's association at which there are a thousand or twelve hundred teachers from all parts of the state present; it is before such a body and with them that the president of a state university can exert the greatest influence. If he be a taking man, he can put all these teachers at work in favor of his school in their respective localities and among their patrons and pupils. He puts himself at once in elbow touch with all the lower grades of preparatory schools in the state, and he reaches out even into the country schools where some ambitious teachers live. Let the president be a distant, unapproachable man, one who, on such occasions communes within himself, and he repels and blocks up the currents of communication. A new man, a stranger so to speak, always feels his way at first and in no other place is this more necessary than before an audience of critical teachers. Consequently the leading educators of a state will predict from the beginning whether a man will succeed or fail in any given position. They appear to know intuitively whether a man has such qualities as will insure success just as well as members of the bar will know which of their brethren will make the best judges. The regents of Kansas and the curators of Missouri might take the teachers and others personally engaged in education into counsel with a prospect of profit. The universities are parts of public school systems and the other practical educators could give instructive hints as to the fitness of nominations for chancellor and president.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR VOL.VIII. A WISE CHOICE Prot. Snow is Now Chancellor of The Kansas State University J. A. W. CHANCELLOR SNOW LAWRENCE, KAN SAS, APRIL. 11, 1800 At the meeting of the Regents last night Prof. Frank H. Snow was formally elected Chancellor of the Kansas State University. Prof. Snow has accepted the high and honorable position. At last a very vexing and serious question has been settled—and settled, too, with rare sense and judgment. All unite in commending the wisdom of the choice. To say that it will meet the glad and hearty approval of the people of Kansas, would be saying what is in the minds of all. Kansas is glad to honor a man who has devoted twenty-four years in faithful labor to her progress and enlightenment. With the inauguration of Prof. Snow, there will return to the University that confidence and security which accompanies superior leadership. Then will a big load of worry be taken from the Regents and the earnest people of the State. The Kansas State University will be honored and strengthened by its new chancellor. Prof. Snow has won such a prominent and ditinguished place in the State and the country that in his new position he cannot but add to the popularity and influence of the University. The trials and struggles, rise and success of this University have in truth been those of Prof. Snow. What then could be more right and fitting that he should take the leadership of an institution in whose service he has grown white with age? We repeat it, that the new Chancellor will honor the University. Though the COURIER has but recently published a sketch of Prof Snow, we believe this event demands that it should again be given: FRANCIS HUNTINGTON SNOW, M A., Ph.D., was born at Fitchburg, Mass., June 29, 1840, the son of Benjamin and Mary (Boutelle) Snow. He prepared for Williams College in the high school of his native town, and entered the Freshman class in 1858. He took a Classical course and was graduated, 1862, the valedictorian and first-honor man of his class. While at Williams Prof, Snow joined the Delta Upsilon and Phi Beta Kappa Fraternities; the last named admits only honor men. For two years after leaving college he was principal of the Fitchburg high school, when in 1864, he entered Andover Seminary for the purpose of more thoroughly fitting himself as a professional instructor. In 1866 he was graduated from this institution. This year was a momentous one in the history of Kansas. Then the University of Kansas began among the vicissitudes of the West, her struggles for life. Francis H. Snow, helped by Prof. Robinson, was the first who rocked the cradle of the fondling, and from then till now ha has watched by its side. He began his work in the chair of Natural Sciences, and how he has labored patiently, and wrought unceasingly, let the present splendid position of his department testify. Prof. Snow has devoted himself principally to entomology ornithology, botany and climatology. His work in these branches has been characterically thorough and complete. He has discovered over 200 specimens in insects, and more than a dozen are named in his honor. His large cabinet of natural collections is one of the largest in the country. It contains over 75,000 specimens, and 10,000 species of insects alone. His contributions to scientific research has been of gr. at value. Besides numerous articles to the magazines, he has published a catalogue of the insects of Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico and of the birds of Kansas. The Professor has been one of the most earnest and enthusiastic laborers in his chosen field, and has not toiled without reward. For five years he was president of the Kansas Academy of Science; he is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; a member of the Davenport Academy of Science and the Boston Zoological Society; and one of the editors of Psychhe, the organ of the Cambridge Entomological Club. Besides holding these honor positions, he is Professor of Natural History, Director of the Museum and President of the Faculty of of Kansas State University. They are Delighted. At the national meeting of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity held in Chicago last week John Mushrush, R. L. Brewster and John Prescott were the representatives of the chapter at Kansas State University. In a pleasant chat with Mr. Mushrush the COURIER came to the conclusion that he was perfectly satisfied with his eastern trip. "Pleasant meeting?" said he, "yes, indeed; it was simply delightful. There were more than 150 representatives there and we all had a thoroughly good time. I was pleased with the Windy City and I could not have had a more enjoyable visit. Business? Yes lots of it: all that the representatives from 37 chapters could well attend to." Paul Hudson and Will Overton were also among the pleasant party from the U. A provincial meeting of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity was also held last week at Evanston, Ill. N. C. Brooks and W. R. Armstrong were the representatives from the University. In a conversation with Mr. Brooks, he expressed himself as highly pleased with his trip and the meeting. His reception by the students of the Northwestern was most cordial. Mr. Brooks has many good words for this institution and the pleasant Illinois boys The Planting of the Tree. The Seniors according to the time honored custom of all Seniors decided not to let the day go by unnoticed, but to signalize and render memorable last Arbor day by the planting of a tree upon the campus as a symbol of their ever increasing greatness and might. The tree was selected, and so was the site. The Seniors assembled. So did the Juniors. The war was short but stormy. The Juniors in a hopeless minority strove against fate and the Seniors in vain. When Roberts, the gallant leader of the Juniors, was immerced, or rather, unceremoniously dipped in the depths of the Senior's tub of water, the hearts of the Juniors fell and they beat a hasty retreat, leaving to the Seniors, victory, Roberts and the tree. The tree and victory were planted. Roberts was not. The last seen of the remnants of the Junior class was a Bowersock hanging out of a north window as a sign of peace. The score of the game was 28 to 13 in favor of the Seniors. Thus fell Troy and all her glory departed. The Senior class of the Law School held an interesting meeting last Friday. President Wilmouth presided and in the absence of the secretary D. J. Coy was appointed. The principal business transacted was the election of committees in preparation for Commencement. This election resulted as follows; Banquet, L. C. Poehler, C. W. Butterworth and R. W. Houk; Program, R. E. Herdman, J Nichols and T. D. Leib; Music, T. J. Flannelly, H. M. Hill and W. H. Sears; Invitations, E. L. Akley, C. W. Wallis and A. Caughey; Finance, A. Caughey, W. H.Herdman and C. Farrow; and Class Pictures, S. C. Wescott, D. J. Coy and W. W. Lawton. We are sorry to hear that Voorhis, Hickey and Curry are going to leave school as they are all good "fellers" and the loss to the ball team is irreparable. Now is the time for the dark horses to show what they can do in the ball business and win fame for themselves and honor for K. S. U. Spring is here and so is the fever. The average student beginneth to stand in with Pater at home preparatory to sending in a few bills for payment. The Profs. are shortening the lessons. The song of the bull-trog as he melodiously warbles to his mate, the entrancing strains of the midnight mandolin serenade and the feline sonatas to the moonlight, renders the balmy mosquitoful air of Spring enrapturing. The Athletic Association has sent a letter to Lincoln, Neb. in order to see if arrangements for a series of Tennis games and a Base Ball game cannot be made, to be played at the time of the interstate collegiate contest. The Lincolnites are favorable and we may consider that the Athletic Association has taken its first stride The Phi Psis have moved their belongings and effects into the hall in the rear of W. C. Spangler's law office and will in the future be found at their new place of business. The Andrews Opera Co and the K S.U. Lecture course evidently did not furnish their hall as finely as was hoped. The Science club have a special attraction this evening. Mr. Smith will give a lecture illustrated by experiments, upon Hypnotism or Mesmerism. Mr. Smith gave a lecture upon this subject before the Unity club last tall and is quite a noted mesmerizer. The lecture will be very instructive to all interested in Psychology. No. 29 Hill and Dale.

Hitherto the Laws have been exempt from the wire working of the political striver for honors. But it was there this time and their election last week was a stormy affair. Some of the colleges of the state have started a movement to organize an oratorical association of the lesser lights in the state. Garfield University, Highland and Winfield Colleges are in the new association. M. E. Hickey has accepted a position at Haskell Institute and will not be with us the remainder of the term. W. E. Curry also will leave in a short time to accept a position in Topeka thus leaving C. H. Sears alone on the executive committee of the Oratorical Association The Principals meeting on the hill was an event that you'll regret if you missed it. The papers prepared were thorough and by competent men. Our W S. Jenks was one of them. Prof. Canfield lectured last Saturday before the Atchison High School. His lecture was very highly spoken of by the city papers. He also delivered a lecture to the Friday Afternoon Club entitled "The Nephew of his Uncle." The audience was composed of young ladies and as a matter of course such a subject was sure to take. We might add right here that the F. A. C. is the best "literary" club the writer has ever known. It has been running for years and it safe to say that the meeting this afternoon will be as euthusiastic and productive of good as was the first one when the writer's big sister spoke, "The curfew shall not ring tonight" and every body, to be sociable, clapped and said "splendid," "jolly" etc. The club became so large that another one was started and called the F.

A heart full of joy and pride goes with our greeting We rejoice with the people of the State and the students of the University:—a State and University that now honors your long, earnest and eminent service. Your promotion is but a just and fitting reward for patient and fruitful toil and devotion. It is but placing an honor where honor is due. Kansas is proud to claim you—she is glad to honor you. You will take the chancellor's chair bearing the trust and confidence of the people of Kansas. In your ripened and superior knowledge and broad and exceptional experience they rest securely the future of the Kansas State University. Proud of your past achievements, they unreservedly place in your care the "glory" of the state. Confident of your future success and happiness again the COURIER welcomes and congratulates you. If there is a more kind, gentlemanly and courteous fellow than Clerk Moody we would like to see him. Did you ever ask a favor of him but that he smiled pleasantly and gave it heartily? Did you ever see him cross or crabbed? To what straits his patience is often put is quite remarkable: but acting with the fortitude of a Job, he takes and does everything with a wonderous good nature. Able, faithful, kind and obliging, the University could have found no better man than Clerk Moody. THE University will miss Curry, Voorhis and Hickey. Especially will the ball team be crippled: undoubtedly they are its three strongest men. Besides, where can you find three more pleasant and popular fellows? We regret to see them go. PECK—the father of a lot of innumberable "bad boys"—has been elected mayor of Milwaukee. It is said that every rag tag and boot-black in the city is begging him for an official position. Such is fame! THE Czar of Russia has surpassed the University of St. Petersburg. Let the victims of Russian tyranny take heart: when you go to gagging students the best man on earth will get left. THE students of the Ohio State University have played a joke on ex-President Cleveland. There is is no telling what young America will do. SOME say it isn't the best thing to look backward. Bellamy has made $16,000 doing it. Our Exchange Table. LAST Sunday's issue of the New York Star contains a symposium by many college presidents on the question whether the boy or the girl is the more apt in learning. Every prominent institution of coeducation is represented and the different opinions are highly interesting. In a few of the colleges the girls are given the preference, while in others the boys are given first place. But the weight of the opinion goes to the principle that aptness or quickness of learning depends mainly upon individual talent and application. Hon. W. C. Spangler in passing his judgement, very wisely stuck to the tence. He says: "In this institution the young men and women make practically the same progress in the studies of the college course." We say that was rare wisdom. It never would have done to intertere with the sweet harmony that exists between the "boys and girls" of K. S. U. A RECENT number of the Kansan said that the Hesperian had been "giving it" to the COURIER. To relieve the minds of those who may possibly have a concern in the immediate existence of the COURIER, we give in full the comment of the Hesperian: K. U. COURIER has opened an exchange column. Its editor is something new in the line of "frats" He is at once the unqualified advocate of the literary society and the staunch friend of the fraternity. He says: "Even if we accepted so fallacious a principle that these organizations are diametrically opposite would we then be compelled to lessen our love for the one or our loyalty to the other." Hearken, "Ye cannot serve two masters, etc." As we have before said, Kansas University shows the result of Greek rule in the helpless condition of its literary societies. Here it has always been the boast of the Greeks that they would kill our literary societies. They have succeed in killing their own repeatedly and they will do it again ere long. When we first read the above we did not believe that it effected much our plain and impartial position in regard to fraternities and literary societies. Such still is our opinion. But since the COURIER has been thrown upon its defense we feel compelled to add a few more words to a subject that is not a little threadbare. We believe that the Hesperian does not clearly understand our position. Let us state it again. It is simply this: Because we believe that the fraternity and literary society are deserving organizations the COURIER gives o each a hearty support. What, Mr. Hesperian, is there wrong in that? How in the world are we serving two masters in doing that? Is this the reason we are something new in the line of frats? Is it something new to do the square, just and impartial thing? Because we cannot see that fraternities and literary societies are diametrically opposed, because we cannot see that the fraternity is the constituted enemy of the society, the Hesperian pleases to call us something new. "Ye cannot serve two masters." We agree. What masters? Do you call the fraternity a master or do you call the society a master? Is it possible that either one can demand and hold in abjection any or all of our support and devotion? Would there be a violation of any moral creed if this devotion was divided? In following your philosophy, Mr. Hesperian, can we not be logically lead to believe that in befriending the fraternity and the society the COURIER is tramping upon something like divine precedent? Do you mean to say that a fraternity man must leave off all that is good and right, simply because he is a fraternity man? Plainly, Mr. H., do you mean to say that in joining a fraternity a student cannot love and defend his college, that he cannot support her mental and moral interests, that he cannot denounce wrong and injustice—but that he must perforce bow down to one and only one tyrannical master? In conclusion we were about to say Mr. Hesperian, that a fight against prejudice and bigotry is at the most a profitless one: but we will not say it. We respect too highly your evident ability and honesty of purpose. However formed, conscientious convictions deserve manly courtesy. Besides we are one of those who believe that to tolerate honest opinion is to get a little higher in the scale of human civilization. To judge from the following, the Kansan is rapidly reaching an ideal position as a college journal : No other college journal in the state is guilty of such scornful, insulting and even abusive language as may be found almost weekly in the University Kansan. The college press of the state, for the most part have accorded it silent contempt. They, like the sun, have no time to stop and trifle with a whining puppy. They do not, after the manner of Don Quixote, choose to fight windmills. So says the College Echoes of Lane University. This may be just a little hard, but any paper that has the effrontery to set itself up as the imperial censor of the greater part of the earth; that treats victorious rivals with peurile grunts and sneers; that sees no good or worth beyond the contracted focus of its own dark and cynical goggles; that attempts to spit and tread upon the other colleges of the state, because, forsooth, K. S. U. is and of right ought to be the only institution in the land; and that looks with aristocratic arrogance and contempt upon all but an elected few, of our fellow students,—such a paper, we say, deserves something like the lashing the College Echoes saw fit to give it. WE are heartily glad that the Hesperian is coming to understand the COURIER'S policy. You will see by the following, clipped from its last issue, that the Hesperian has some idea of justice: Any one who will take the trouble to read the K. S. U. COURIER will find that the "barbs" there are not at all dead and that, moreover, the COURIER is trying to do the square thing by both sides for once. We would seriously advise the "barbs" of K. S. U. to stick to their principals, organize and fight. Success is in the air. "Oh that mine enemy would write a book!" If the ancient individual were living now his refrain would be. "Oh that mine enemy were taking dutch."—Hesperian. Prof. Thompson of the Univ. of Penn'a. is the only prominent political economist who supports the doctrine of protection. The rest are free-traders.-Ex. Not quite so, my dear sir. Prof. Blackmar of Kansas State University is a protectionist. Note him down please. THE professors have remarked, as you have no doubt heard them, that this promiscuous carving on the chairs and other university property is punishable by the laws of the state. If you are love sick or belong to some fraternity or a barb organization or some Ku Klux Klan there is still no need that you should mark and disfigure university property with either the name of your girl, your own initials or the symbols of the order to which you belong. We have not yet seen a chair in the University that is not decorated in some way by an aspiring wood carver. The chairs should receive a new coat of paint and the next student seen whittling them should be made amendable to the law.

St. This division of Prof. Snows chair has necessitated the election of new instructors. At the meeting last night the following were elected: S.W. Willinton, Associate Professor of Geology and Paleontology and Miss Gertrude Crotty, Assistant in Zoology and Physiology Our New Professors. Mr. Willinton is an old Kansas boy, formerly of the Agricultural college. He comes now from Yale. Miss Crotty will graduate this spring in the class of '90 and she is known too well to need introduction. In the promotion of Prof. Snow to the chancellorship, the Regents have very wisely decided to retain him in the Natural History department. But owing to the increased duties of the chancellor, they have determined to divide this work. Hereafter his chair will be that of Botany and Entomology. These branches Prof. Snow has chosen himself and they are really the ones to which he has devoted most of his time. The chair of Mental and Moral Philosophy, which has been formally conducted by the chancellor, will of course be placed in other hands. The Regents also made Prof. Dunlap full Professor in the chair of English and Belles Letters. This is certainly a very wise and proper action. Pay your subscriptions. The Soph.

THE RESPECTABILITY OF DRESS. " The apparel off proclaims the man. " Dwarf MONG all writers who have made man the theme, none have exceeded Pope. Among all clothiers who have attempted to properly dress man, none have exceeded Browning, King & Co. Pope thoroughly understood the inwardness of man. Browning, King & Co. thoroughly understand his outwardness. Pope says his "outwardness" oft proclaims his "inwardness," Browning, King and & Co.says his "inwardness oft proclaims his outwardness." You may endow man with genius, wisdom and knowledge: you may clothe him with virtue and rightness, and the world will not recieve him in rags. Why? Because the world of this day is not "built that way." People know a respectable man in these days will dress respectably. It was not always thus as we shall show in our next chapter. Gentlemen of the University look in the glass. If not satisfied with your appearance, Browning, King & Co. can fix you up and do it at a very reasonable cost. BROWNING KING & CO.

THE BOYS BREAK LOOSE LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL. 18, 1890. And Give the New Chancellor a Yellig Reception-A Man Who is "Bound to Make it Go." It's a Cold Day When Snow Gets Left. Talk about college spirit—college pride and college enthusiasm—was there ever a greater, a more hearty display than that of last Friday and Saturday evenings? That display must go down in the history of K. S. U. as most striking—most remarkable Who will now dare to say that the Kansas State University has lost spirit, pride and loyalty? Show us one and we will show you a cynic, a grumbler, a traitor! Leaving the University at 10 c'clock more than a 150 students marched shouting and singing to the home of Prof. Snow. After a hearty "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U!" and "Snow! Snow! F. H. Snow!" the new chancellor made his appearance. Then Mr. Roberts in behalf of the students extended Prof. Snow their greeting and congratulations. FPIDAY NIGHT So after the societies Friday evening impromptu arrangements were made to welcome and congratulate the new chancellor that very night. Prof. Snow's promotion to the chancellorship was the signal for a revival and out-bursting of the love and pride and spirit of K. S. U. When the news was spread Friday that Prof. Snow had been elected, the students became at once infused with a desire to express their appreciation of the choice. Prof. Snow replied in a short speech full of feeling, hope and good sense. After singing several songs the students marched down Mass. St. and there on the corner of Henry they formed in a circle, where their enthusiasm was spent in yells, songs and speeches. Lead by Prof. Sterling and Prof. Canfield and students Chapman and White more than one college song was done full justice. Speeches, bubbling over with pride and loyalty were made by Prof. Sterling, Prof. Arthur Canfield and students Challis, Chapman, Nichols, Smelser, Ross, White, and W. J Scars. After making a furious "bluff" at Wiedemann's, lead by Roberts, Hadley and Sears, the crowd marched down to the Santa Fe depot, where Prof Snow was to leave for Topeka. Prof Snow, in company with Regent Gleed, and Willis Gleed, was found waiting here for the train. Again the students showed the chancellor at once their hearty appreciation and marvelous lungs. Here speeches were made by Prof. Snow, Regent Gleed and students Roberts, Virtue and Riggs. As the train pulled out, Prof. Snow was carried upon the shoulders of the students to the cars. Here the Professor was again introduced by Editor Charley Finch, an old K. S. U. boy, and there the new chancellor took leave of his admiring friends and said good night. So endeth the first great triumph of Chancellor Snow. Last Saturday evening was a memorable one in student life. SATURDAY NIGHT. At about 8 o'clock two or three hundred students assembled on the corner of Ky. and Warren Sts. for the purpose of showing their appreciation of our new Chancellor. Ackley was chosen leader and Chapman as chistor. Then after forming in line they marched to Mass. St., and on Mass. St. to Pinckney St, thence on Pinckney to Prof. Snow's residence where all the faculty had gathered to congratulate Prof. Snow upon his accession to the chancellorship. The students were orderly enough and the whole affair reflects credit upon the leaders After singing a song with the refrain "Give Snow the Glory GLORY!" the crowd of boys burst into prolonged shouts of "Snow!""Prof. Snow!""Chancellor Snow!"" Prof. Snow soon appeared but seemed somewhat frightened at the immensity of the throng and sought a place of safety. By the assistance of several of the Profs, and students he was placed upon the roof of a small portico before the door, and from there gave to the boys a hearty address. Prof. Snow recounted some of his past experience; said that all his fame had been made under the title of Professor, and that he hoped that he would be allowed to keep the old title. He was interrupted here by cries of "Professor," "Prof. Snow." "Hurrah." Prof. Snow resuming said: "Boys as you see I'm like a man up a stump. The cold wave flag has been flying for some time, and the precautionary signals say that we shall have 'snow,' but you see, it's not come down yet. I am sure that by your hearty cooperation we can make the U one of the greatest in the West, and I am sure from the hearty reception you give me this evening that I shall have it I appreciate the hearty welcome you give me and I most heartily thank you. " The students broke into the most uproarious applause at the close of Prof. Snow's address. No. 30. Then calls for "Spangler!" were heard from all sides. Vice-Chancellor Spangler soon materialized and occupied the rostrum, porch rather, for a few minutes. Mr. Spangler expressed his satisfaction at the choice that had been made and predicted a most successful reign by our present chancellor. His remarks were well received. Then after Mr. Spangler the ties for "Robinson" "Robby" "Rob" broke forth. Prof. Robinson is a favorite with all and the calls of "Ubi es?" "Scan." "Incipi Si placet." were only the precursors of the fun and jollity that all expected from him. He began with: "Est in animo mihi dicere" — "Rats" "quid est?" "Translate" "Give it to us in United States" changed him immediately to "Boys I meant to say that you are the handsomest crowd of boys I've ever seen. (applause) If it were darker you would be handsoner yet. ("Rats, estne Verum?) I mean the brightness of your intellects would so illuminate-(cheers "Hurrah for Robby.") You are brighter this evening than I've ever seen you before. I'll endeaver to get even with you. You caught me unprepared. I've often caught you unprepared so please let me off this time. I've often let you off." Prof. Miller was the next, who was greeted with "demonstrate" "Make a si(g)n." "Boys" said he 'You'd scaree expect one of my age to speak in public on the stage ("Porch, prof. porch")so if I attempt to do so, I'm afraid I'll fly off at a tangent and demonstrate to you that I am quite obtuse. I am glad that we have a chancellor and a chancellor like Prof. Snow.' The prof. concluded his remarks by a true eulogy upon Prof. Snow. Prof. Carruth was the next victim placed upon the penitential pillory while such epithets as "Sprechen Sie Duetensch?" Wie Gehts? "Uebersetzen sie" were hurled at him. Prof. Carruth bore it like a martyr; i e he rather liked it and gave as good as was sent, better, much better, in fact. His German was more connected After expressing his reliance upon the ability of Prof. Snow to fill the position to which he was elected he gave the famous song "Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as Snow, SNOW," all present joining in on the last word. Then he closed by saying that the slang phrase expressed it most forcibly, "It is a cold day when Snow gets left." Prof. A. G. Canfield was the next one brought up for slaughter. The "Parle Vous" in the crowd shouted themselves hoarse with, "Parle you France?" "Je ne ce pas" which soon changed to "shoot it straight" "good" when he began "Mes Amis Vect"—After a commendation of the spirit exhibited by the boys he closed with "Well, boys you are all anxious to go home and get your lessons I know, so I'll not detain you longer." ("What makes you believe it? How do you know it?") Prof. Bailey after incessant calls was elevated to the position of orator and was greeted with an array of chemical phraseology such as "H2SO4" "Lets test Bailey." "Oh Bailey's C. P." "HNO3" . Prof. Bailey surely had his retort primed for he gave them this: "Boys I'll not give you any C 10 H 24O 12 (Glucose) for fear I should precipitate you. From the exhilation exhibited this evening, if it were not in Kansas, I should say you had been indulging in C4H₁O. (spiritus fermenti) ('Only soda water prof.') or may be it is myself. I have never been thus elevated before. (Pro Robinson Sotto Voce: "Spiritii Frementis!") "But seriously speaking boys" said Prof. Bailey and in a short talk he showed that he was in hearty accord with the present arrangement. Prof. Sayre was the next one who was regularly invited to occupy the roof of the portico and the Pharmics became cestatic as they proceeded to poison the air with whoops of "Give us the arsenic," "Blue Mass" "Pills" "Give us a dose." Prof. Sayre was somewhat nonplused by the festive Pharmics but was equal to the occasion and in a short but lively speech assured the faith that he reposed in the new chancellor. Prof. Marvin was so unhucky as to show his well known face in the doorway as Prof. Sayre closed his speech; he was speedily dragged to the scene of torture by the relentless hands of Profs. Carruth and A.G. Canfield and hoisted heavenward while a pandemonium of technical terms from the C.E's freighted the already overladen air. "Line her out" "What's your altitude?" "Chain away" "Sling us a link" were hurled at him until he found means to stop the mob with: "Boys my altitude is too high, I'd rather give you my declaration.' " ("No, No") The Prof. made a few remarks upon the occasion. Then Prof. Blake who had been eluding the grasp of the tireless two, Profs. Carruth and A. G. Canfield, tell into their clutches; he was charged upon by the boys with: "How many ohms resistance?" "CgS" "You can't open your mouth" "You can't mesmerize" "Meter now." Prof Blake stated that he had hoped to escape inasmuch as he had just been engaged in business inside that rendered him too full for utterance; that he had been busy watching the ice-cream. Cries of "Let us watch it" were heard and in answer the Prof. said that he was sorry but that there wasn't enough to go round: this caused a great sensation. Prof. Blake soon ended his talk. Prof. McDonald was the next whose knees smote together as he faced the music that was welling from the throats of the songsters in such notes as "Give us a tune." "Note him." "Prof. what's your scale?" "Ain't you a little high?" Prof. McDonald:—Yes boys I'm a little high, 'tis because I was pitched a little too high. I don't know how many stale jokes and gags have not been perpetrated upon you. (Cries of none, none, give us one Prof.) Well then I can tell you a story which will illustrate what I have to say. Boys, I'm on the unpopular side I know, but the Regents made a great mistake when they elected Prof. Snow. (Sensation) He's unsound on the Tariff and his Theology is as mixed as the old dark key who was relating the story of Jeebel. "Da one day as King Ahasurus wuz a ridin' long in his chariot an he saw Jeebel in a ninth story window a makin faesec at him and he stopped an he sez to de niggers dat wuz with him, "Go up an frow her down," And dey went up and frowed her down.

THERE were several citizens of Lawrence who seemed to have been disturbed by the recent demonstrations of the students. Indeed, some threatened to arrest the boys. Even a few of the business men became excited and snarled out their curses on the young men. The COURIER has a word to say to these aforesaid business men. To put it mildly, when, gentlemen, you kick the students of Lawrence and the Kansas State University, you put a noose around your own necks. We have called you business men, but are you business men? Queer business, indeed! Very funny business is that which insults the greatest source of financial support and profit. Do you, gentlemen, place no importance upon the 500 students in your midsts—upon the $125,000 they spend annually among you? If you do, your treatment of an orderly and harmless demonstration decidedly inconsistent, if not dyspeptic Whatever you may do or think the students of Kansas State University will not be insulted. Please put that in your pipes and smoke it. THE demon-trations of last Friday and Saturday evenings mean something—something more than the mere noise that they made. Whatever else that they may mean, they mean that the Kansas State University is filled with a splendid pride and enthusiasm, and that the next chancellor of the Kansas State University is to have the love and united support of every student. When loved and led by a noble man, and honored and upheld by hundreds of enthusiastic students, who will dare to picture the future of the Kansas State University? Applauded and supported by the press and the people of this great commonwealth and loved and followed by the students and Faculty of this great University—what more does our new chancellor want,—what more does he nee? If Prof. Snow accepted the chancellorship with any fear or misgivings, he must by this time be thoroughly converted. If after the kind words of praise and commendation from every part of the State, if after the hearty reception of last Friday and Saturday Prof. Snow is not now filled with confidence and satisfaction,—if he is not now convinced of his own eminent fitness for his new labor,—when will he ever be? whose wife will she be on the Resurrection morn'. Now Prof. Snow is about as mixed in Theology as this old darkey, and you can readily see how dangerous it will be to have such a man at the head of the University. Prof. Wilcox, the next one to speak was mean enough to give his entire speech in the purest Attic Greek, so we are unable to give the drift of his remarks unless it was what a prep. shouted "What's in your teeth?" After Prof. Wilcox's lucky escape the cry for Dunlap rose; it was only changed when Prof. W. S. Franklin appeared in the door, to "Cap" "Speech" "Cap Franklin." Cap. was elevated by willing hands while the boys fairly howled round in the most intense enthusiasm, "Cap, Bully Boy" "AgNO?" "How do you like it yourself, Cap?" Cap recognized the awful terror and horror he had been to the Profs, in the days of yore, and could only utter: "Boys I'm at your mercy, what shall it be? A Song? Dance? What?" A song was wanted and Cap, gave a good one and in his short speech after it shoved plainly that he would rather be down with the boys than up on the porch. Prof Sterling was the next unlucky wight. He gave a good speech and one that was appreciated. He also brought in a variation of "Bingo" "He'll surely make her go." Owing to the scarcity of classical students in the crowd he was unassailed with Greek phrases. Prof. Templin our new professor of Philosophy was not so lucky and was immediately stunned with a volley of questions. "How do you know you are up there?" "Can you prove it?" "What's the Logic of it?" "Where's Socrates Aristotle?" "Don't you beg the question?" The Professor's Self did not desert him and he began: "Boys I'm not sure that this is me or the not me. The not me cannot make a speech so if I am the not me it is dangerous to try to make a speech. I wish you'd let me off this time." "Pass us on Geom.?" "Yes" "Trig? Analytics? Dewey?" "Yes yes everything!" "Hurrah! what's the matter with Templin?' Nothing. He's all right you bet,' broke forth from the crowd and the prof, seized the opportunity to make good his escape. Prof. Dyche was next and his nerve and presence of mind was shaken by "Shoot" "Fire away" "Climb a tree" "Don't stuff us!" Prof. Dyche after relating some thrilling experiences that he and Prof. Snow had undergone together closed his speech with something that sounded like a note of warning, "Boys I've seen the present chancellor pacing fearlessly before a little log hut in New Mexico. Winchester on his shoulder and a revolver buckled to his waist and the bloodthirsty Apaches only half a mile away. His nerves were steady. You may think him timid but in case of emergency he can load and aim and if necessity compels it he can Fire." Some of the boys didn't exactly see the humor of the firing, but Prof. Dyche's speech received well merited applause. Prof Hopkins was searched out by the willing co-workers Profs Carruth and A. G. Canfield and was saluted by "Sink or swim" "Live or die" "Don't forget your gestures." Prof. Hopkins is equal to a crowd and struck the right note when he began: "Sink or swim, Survive or perish, I give my heart and my hand to this vote. It is true that in the beginning I had not intended to make a speech but there is a divinity that shapes our ends. This vote will stand. It will cost treasure but it will stand. As I began so I will close, Sink or swim, survive or perish, I give my hand and my heart to this vote." Prof Hopkins was equal to the occasion as was Prof. Winkler who came after him. Earnest, enthusiastic little Max was in his element and he gave a rattling speech winning encomiums from all who heard his brief but pithy, earnest remarks. "Maxie," liked by all, even if he does give seventeen pages in advance for each lesson, was endeared to the hearts of all present ten times more than before. Judge Emory one of the first regents of the University was present and was called upon for a speech. He closed the "exercises" with one of his best efforts. Then Ackly called upon himself for a speech. After his instructions had been given the boys formed in line and marched to the corner of Merchants Nat. Bank, and built a huge bonfire in honor of the event. N. B. The fire company was not called out. Profs. Green, Summerfield, Canfield and Dunlap were out of town and escaped from the speech making. An Important Meeting. The last meeting of the Regents was a most interesting and important one. Besides the selection of a chancellor, new professors were elected and commencement orators chosen Up to going to press we gave in our last issue the transactions of the Board, but it is of such importance that we have concluded to to republish it, together with the remaining work of the several sessions. Prof. Snow's letter of acceptance is as follows: To the Board of Regents of the University of Kansas. GENTLEMEN:—I desire to express my hearty appreciation of the distinguished honor you have this day conferred upon me by electing me chancellor of the University of Kansas. I hereby accept the office thus tendered to me and express my earnest hope that this acceptance may tend to promote the welfare of the University. I shall confidently rely upon your unanimous and active cooperation in securing the success of my administration. Very sincerely, FRANCIS HUNTINGTON SNOW Prof. S. W. Williston of Yale was elected Professor of Geology and Palaontology. Prof. Williston is a graduate of the Kansas Agricultural College and has been holding a responsible position in the scientific department of Yale. Miss Gertrude Crotty, of Burlington, Kan., was elected assistant in Zoology and Physiology. Unfortunately the COURIER stated in its last issue that Miss Crotty would graduate with this year's class. Instead she is a graduate of last year and since then she has been serving acceptably in Prof. Snow's department. As a young lady of great energy and unusual ability, Miss Crotty is certain to meet with success in her new position. A new chair of Philosophy was established and Prof. Olin Templin was made associate professor of it. Prof. Templin has already won a high position as an instructor in Mathematics and his promotion is an excellent one. Prof Chas, G. Dunlap was made full professor of English and Belles Letters. In this, as in all their work, the Regents made no mistake. Though young, Prof. Dunlap is an exceptional instructor—highly educated, broad minded, thorough, energetic and determined. He is sure to increase the usefulness and raise the standard of his department. ORATORS. Rev. Joseph T. Duryea, of Omaha will deliver the baccalaureate sermon. Dr. Duryea formerly held a pulpit in Boston. In the educational world he holds a distinguished place, having declined the presidencies of Princeton, Amherst and other institutions. Col. John J. McCook of New York city will deliver the annual oration. As an educator, lawyer and philanthropist, Col. McCook is popularly known throughout the East.

"And this same John had his raiment of camel's hair and a leather girdle about his loins." BIBLE Dolly Graeber—Boats to rent. HOSE days were not these days This same John was far from being a dude, even in those days. But John had a following notwithstanding his primativeness of apparel. There must have been something in his manner of sincerity and earnestness which convinced the people for they listened and followed. To-day this "same John" would be arrested for a vag , called a crank and run out of society. No gospel will be received by this day and age unless its mouthpiece be respectably clad, and that is right. Things are not as they used to be, and the gospel is not for the poor—ly dressed. But the poor still have the gospel preached to them, and the poor can be well clad for little cash at the house which has first-class clothing for all classes. Come thou and do likewise.

An Impressive Ceremony. The laying of the corner stone of the new building of the Lawrence High School, last Friday afternoon, was an exceedingly interesting and solemn ceremony. The beautiful dedication was characteristic of the city's pride and patriotism. The long procession of students and school children with the most striking and impressive that Lawrence has ever witnessed. The whole affair was soul lifting; one felt better for having seen it. To the average American it brought a touch of joy and gratitude—it filled his heart with songs of love and praise that found their repose in the beat of the drum, the flying of the national flag and the smile and laugh of the pretty children. The services were conducted by the Masons. Rev. Dr. Cordley, President of the School Board, presided and began the servies in a pleasant, earnest speech. Hon. W. C. Spangler was the orator of the day. Following will be found selections from his eloquent effort, together with Chancellor Snow's address, as reported by the Lawrence Record: Col. H. M. Green, Grand Chaplain of the Mason, invoked the blessing of God in a beautiful prayer. Pardon me if I talk too much about the relations of the University to the High School, for I believe that at this time it is of paramount importance that this relation be fully understood and appreciated. The High School can and ought to be of the greatest assistance to the University and on the other hand the University can and should be a constant source of inspiration and helpfulness to the High schools all over the state, and with a proper understanding of their relations each can become great and powerful in its own sphere, and working together harmoniously can advance unreservedly the cause of public education in Kansas. Therefore Mr. President I congratulate you that the school system for this community is complete; that the humblest child in the primary department may look forward with confidence to a completion of a course of study at the University; that the humblest child without regard to his sex or color or financial condition may by his own efforts, rise step by step through all the grades of the common schools, enter the High School and after the completion of his course here—without change or interruption take up his work in the University, and thus through the beneficience of the state and this community—receive the highest education possible in Kansas The city of Lawrence has suffered much and sacrificed much for what is highest and best in the civilization of to-day but for none of her heroic deeds does she deserve more credit than for her efforts and sacrifices in the cause of education. It has not made her great in wealth or commercial importance, but it has done more. It has created, developed a desire for those things above and beyond the material, for that which is highest and best in this world and in all worlds. It is this which makes a state, and is because of this spirit and this effort that we have the hope and assurance that Kansas some day will indeed be great. Chancellor Snow then took the front of the platfe.m and spoke substantially as follows: This great assemblage of the children and youths of Lawrence is an impressive object lesson forcing upon our attention vividly, the importance of our educational interests. But a small portion of this large number will enter the house on the hill, of which I have just been assigned headship. I am therefore the more anxious that the range of instruction to be afforded here shall be ample and thorough. We are constantly reminded that the policy of our schools of whatever grade must be the education of the people, for the people and by the people. We read of the lost arts of Egypt. They were lost because committed to the exclusive charge of the privileged classeses. Had they been taught to the common they would still be in use, if worthy, in our times. These walls are to receive the children of the people. Here the sons and daughters of the rich and poor, black and white are to receive the benefits of the same courses and the path to honorable distinction in learning lies open equally to each of them. The speaker then gave some amusing instances of the modes of instructions in a school in Massachusetts which he first attended as a boy of four years. He spoke kindly of the whimsical ways of his teacher who he declared had his hobby. "Each of us has a hobby," said he, "mine has been 'bugs,' now it will be something else." The contrast between the schools of the past and present was well drawn, and the chancellor passed to consider a late action of the faculty of the University by which all intending students of the University were invited to prosecute their sub-freshman studies in the Lawrence High School. The entire speech was admirable and was received with warm demonstrations of approval by the assemblage. College Boys and Journalism. We clip the following from the Troy (N. Y.) Times, and to those who are journalistically inclined it is of no little interest: The college seniors are now enjoying their last vacation before passing their final examinations and taking their diplomas. Most of them already have definite plans for the future, and all have high expectations of the great things they are to accomplish. Doubtless much good advice could be offered these seniors, no matter what profession or vocation they have decided upon, but for the present we will have to do only with him who looks to the newspaper world as the scene of his life's triumphs. This reminds us. Why it is no one appears able to explain, but it is a curious fact that every college man who undertakes newspaper work thinks himself thoroughly equipped for any position a prosperous and influential journal can offer. His college chum, his equal in every respect, decides upon law and thinks nothing of two or three years of drudgery which must precede an entrance into the legal fraternity. And the same is the case with him who proposes to be a physician. But the college boy who espouses journalism feels fully competent to jump from the graduating platform of his alma mater directly into the position of managing editor of a great daily. He can't though. As a consequence he is disapointed. He applies to some newspaper for a place and is surprised that it doesn't yearn for one so preeminently endowed with ability. Lucky, indeed, is he if he gets an opportunity at the very bottom of the reportorial ladder, with one-tenth of the salary he thought of demanding. Once at work he finds his daily routine the most commonplace drudgery. He feels that he should be passing his time framing high-sounding phrases and forging verbal thunderbolts for the editorial page, and instead he is in the police court recording the sentence of an ordinary "drunk" or down among the markets inquiring the latest quotations on pork and potatoes. It's tough, but it's "business." The weeks go on, and if he is not of the stuff of which newspaper men are made he drops out of the race and disappears. Otherwise he continues to take the bitter with the sweet, doing well the work which lies before him, looking for the better things farther on. At the end of a year he begins to see how little he knows about real newspaper work, and in two years he has acquired a fair groundwork upon which to build a useful if not famous newspaper experience. If he "has the stuff in him" The trouble with the college man is that he thinks a general literary training all the preparation necessary for newspaper work, while the truth is that few professors exact of their successful men more purely technical knowledge than does journalism. The successful newspaper man must have tact, good judgment, proper appreciation of the value of news and a thorough acquaintance with every detail of a newspaper office, together with a faculty of bringing everything he knows to the front at a moment's notice. All these points the newly-graduated college man lacks, and until he obtains them his wares are at a discount in the newspaper world. Quite right. So the college man who decides to enter journalism must make up his mind that there is no royal road to the chair of editor-in-chief. He must work his way in that direction slowly, with the chances ten to one that he will never reach that point. But when he gets his exalted ideas out of his head he will find many consolations even in the work of a humble reporter. To be sure, he will feel that he is only a small part of the great world, but he will find dozens of his fellow collegians making even less of a stir than himself. The discipline is wholesome. And another point to be kept in mind is that newspaper men as a rule do not make a fortune in a day, and rarely in a life-time. In a recent letter to the Chicago News Eugene Field gossips about newspaper making abroad. What he has to say regarding salaries is of interest in this connection. He thinks the $50,000 salary paid Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of the London Times, makes him "the largest salaried employee connected with journalism in Europe. Several London critics are well paid—notably Clement Scott of the Daily Telegraph, who is supposed to receive $10,000 a year. Andrew Lang must draw a large salary as an editorial writer for the Daily News, and, aside from his journalistic work, he is a fertile bookmaker, and he lectures regularly before a number of educational institutions. But the large majority of London journalists are small-salaried men; $15 a week, and one seldom commands more than $25—I mean the local equivalent therefor. When Bennett started the London edition of the New York Herald he paid traveling expenses and $50 a week to the American reporters he imported. But already he has sent most of the importations back home, and the London end of the triangular freak is being conducted by native beef-eaters." NO.31. Hill and Dale. A. C. Cunkle has left school to return to his home at Madison, Kan. He orders the COURIER sent to his address. The sweet girls of Pi Beta Phi have had their pictures taken in a group. Enchanting! Bewitching! Ravishing! Lovely! Oh my, how sweet! Adjectives heard floating from feminine lips. Miss Harrison entertained a few friends Monday evening at high five. Those present were: Misses Tisdale, Nelson and Bennett, and Messrs Carson, Bennett, McCague, and Challis. Fred Kellogg went to Kansas City Tuesday on business connected with the entertainment to be given at the Opera House this evening. Smelser is reported as quite ill. Miss Nelson and Mrs. Fred Bowersock went to Kansas City last Saturday. Prof. Sayre is conducting chapel exercises this week. Philomathian society will meet next Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Lotta Hopkins. The Seniors' photos, are causing a great deal of comment, among themselves. The recent examination in international law left some very sore people. The Freshman themes have again passed through the fiery ordeal and are being delivered to their waiting authors expectant hands. Red ink, evidently is now being sold in job lots. 'Tis sad we know to have the very theme itself become roseate at your profound ignorance, but Freshies you'-ve got to stand it. The Sophs are distinguishing themselves again in their own peculiar way. Prof. Winkler is giving them too much Dutch to learn auswendig and they are on a strike. This class is undoubtedly the laziest class in the University. To-day is the day when Kansas was to undergo a visitation from a Cyclone. Latest news by telegram. The Cyclone is laid up for repairs at Baldwin. The college there saved the town, for it was the first thing in the path of the storm. The poor cyclone after vainly endeavoring to chew up some Baker students, hopelessly dislocated its jaw and lost all its wind. It will be here to-morrow if it is not converted into a Kansas zephyr by that blooming town. The class in Zoology had examinations last Wednesday and Thursday. Evolutionists are in the front rank.

Franklin. THE Music Club is one of the most interesting and enthusiastic organizations in the University. Its meetings, held every two weeks are the most pleasant events possible. The members of the club are admirable entertainers:-their programs never fail to gratify the most critical or the most cynical. So those who are fortunate enough to receive invitations to these musicales are usually selfish enough to attend. Last Wednesday's program was strictly up to the standard,—each performer acquitted him or herself with remarkable success. Through a personal misunderstanding over a multiplicity of dates and engagements we unfortunately failed to hear all of the recital. We must call this failure a most unpleasant mishap—likewise, a characteristic display of reportorial stupidity. The most striking recital on the program—and the only one it was our fortune to hear—was an eight hand overture by Misses Lichtenwalter, Weller, Wynne and Mr. Krehbiel. The beautiful selection, an overture by Herold to Zampa, was rendered with a masterly touch and expression. The performance showed at once the technical skill and artistic culture of the reciters. The performers merited the praise and aplause their effort called forth. We are glad the University has Music Club. GROVER Cleveland and Chas. A. Dana are saying all manner of nasty things about each other. If somebody isn't careful, Tom Dick and Harry will find a valid excuse for pulling hair and scratching faces. It does seem as though two of America's brightest men were rapidly becoming two of America's biggest fools. The laying of the corner stone last Friday was but adding to the foundation that supports American life, liberty and institutions. Its laying was but a proof that the American people love that life and liberty. Our public schools are the corner stones in the temple of American liberty—their strength and worth the only hope of our nation. WHAT ceremony is more impressive—what event is freighted with more food for serious thought than the dedication of an institution to learning? What event, we say, is more indicative of American spirit, civilization and government? It seems to us that in such an act our nation proclaims the source of its existence and its right to future ages. Our Exchange Table. THE Washburn Reporter has, also, become a victim of the mighty wave of enterprise that is sweeping through the college journalism of the State. With a push, courage and energy that is distinctly meritorious, the Reporter has lengthened its case, increased its columns and re-modeled its make-up:—it stands among the leading weeklies of the college world. With hearty congratulations, the COURIER bids it perpetual success. THE last issue of the Business Woman's Journal, a publication of exceptional merit, contains an interesting article by Florence Finch Kelley. Mrs. Kelley's works of whatever nature are read with great relish. Oh, for a magician who can break the charm of "Washburn luck."—University Review Call it "luck" if you want to. We call it hard work and determined effort. Work, is the magician whom you must invoke.— Washburn Argo. Sensible enough! THE Ottawa Campus doesn't think that the Kansas State Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association will amount to much this year; at least, its hopes in a Base Ball League are decidedly shaky. It doesn't propose to wait upon an organization that shows no further signs of life than that it bears an unspeakably long name. But instead the Campus champions the organization of local teams and optional contests between clubs of whatever nativity. Yours is a very sensible suggestion, Mr. Campus, and we recommited it to the consideration of our own U. THE last issue of the Washburn Argo makes a decided improvement in its typographical make up. Like the Ottawa Campus the Argo is a way down in the dumps about the State Athletic Association It even doubts the practicability of such an organization and rests its weary weight of uncertainity upon five mighty reasons. In this we are afraid, Mr. Argo, that you are slipping from your usual sensible position on college affairs: We would like to see such backsliding cease. We would like to see you take your post and stand firmly for the advancement of college sports and physical education. We are with you and the Ottawa Campus in the opinion that the State Athletic Association, owing to imperfect organization, will not bear much fruit this year; but we cannot accept your favored doubt that such an organization would be hurtful and impracticable. We are firm in our belief that by it our colleges throughout the State will be immeasurably helped; and for every one of your arguments against, we have an equal and added number for inter-collegiate athletics. The COURIER is with those who hope for a strong and enthusiastic State Athletic Association. It is generally reported that the Athletic Association will give an entertainment at the Opera House to-night. Because uninformed, the COURJER will not stand responsible for the character of the performance. But as a friend of the University and all its interests, we urge every student to attend. Seventy five cents isn't much and an amateur show is not the worst thing in the world:—there never was a cause in which there were no martyrs. The Elect. The names of those Seniors eligible to faculty appointments were posted beneath electric clock last Wednesday. The following may be the lucky ones on commencement day: S.C.Brewster, N.C Brook Emma Dunn, Nettie Goodell, Fred Leddeke, John A. Mushrush, Florence Reasoner, E.E Slosson H B.Sutcliff, P.A. Williamson, B.J.Dalton, D.E.Esterly, W.H.Hill,L.McFarland,F.S.Pickering,R.H.Short,E.L Shinpson, May Taggert, and H. Radcliff. Some Say That the Base Ball team is preparing to make a dark and deserate record this year. How encouraging! That there are entirely too many empty big heads in the U. What are you going to do about it? That there is more bigotry and prejudice and selfishness and littleness in K. S. U. than in the Halls of Congress. Natural enough; the South and the U. are making rapid progress. That the new chancellor is going to surprise you: that he will, in fact, "get there." We believe every word of it. Who ever heard of Snow being froze out. Prof. J. H. Canfield lectured recently in Garnett. The Athletic Committee will collect the contributions to the athletic fund next week. Each and every one is requested to be ready with the amount promised. The Record of last Tuesday says the Base Ball season has begun. Then it rained all week The board of directors of the Review Co. met yesterday and elected W. D. Ross sec. and Henry Fiegenbaum treas. Phi Beta Kappa colors have been conspicious these last two weeks. The caps for the Tennis club and B. B. club have arrived. They are neat and tasty and will enhance the charm that neat, agile playing gives The K. S. U. B. B. nine should do more team practice if they wish to keep out of the seething bowl of soup One or two of the members may do some good work and by practicing daily do their part in all the games that are played, but unless the K. S. U. nine wishes to teast on crow they must learn to play as a unit and this can only be accomplished by team work. A quartette, called so by its members only, has been rendering the air melodious and the lives of their young lady friends miserable for the past week by nocturnal warblings Miss Hunnicutt, who was quite seriously ill the latter part of last week, is much better, and will soon take up her work in the U. The Laws are attempting to organize a double quartette. The COURIER can be found on file in the National Museum at Wash. D. C. One of the marvels of the nineteenth century. See? The frats are evidently thinking of June parties. For in discussing a June program in the K. U. L. C., two of the members referred to it as a June party. What's the matter with the boating club? "The Three Certainties"—Mr. A. P. Brewer will speak on the above subject at the Y. M. C. A. rooms next Sunday at 4 p. m. K. S. U. students are very cordially invited to the Y M. C. A. reading room. "Harpers Weekly and Monthly," "Judge" "Statesman" and other reading matter will be found on file.

A. committee was called yesterday at 1 o'clock for the purpose of transacting important business relative to the collecting of contributions and the grading of the grounds. Geo. Ropes visited in Topeka the first of this week. W. C. Fogle has returned and has taken up his studies again. F. H. Kellogg was in K.C.the first of the week. Prof. Snow taught Prof. Stevens classes last Tuesday as Prof. Stevens was sick and unable to be on the hill. The champion joke is on the man who was out boat riding last Friday evening and got lost.

Mettner enjoys an enviable reputation among the University people-profesors and students, on account of the high class of work which he always turns out, and at reasonable prices. Every student will want one or more dozen photos before the close of school, especially if you are going to graduate. In order to see in what esteem Mettner is held by the students, just visit his studio and note the pictures of the higher classmen or of those who have recently graduated.
