We are glad that there is a time in American life when cares may be put aside for pleasures: when sack cloth and Prince Alberts may be thrown off for starchless shirts: when you may go out into the fields and climb the mountains and lay under the great rees and the spreading tents and smoke a clay pipe and cook your own meals and read novels. What would some of our American people do if they didn't have such a chance? Prof. Robinson will stay at home. At least such, he says, are the present indications. Chancellor Snow will spend the greater part of the summer at home, busying himself with the duties of his chair and office. But it would never do for the Professor to fail to take his regular trip to the mountains. So he will tent and climb and study for a short time among the craigs and peaks of Mexico and Colorado. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. Prof. Miller will keep Prof. Robinson campany, engaged most of the time in special study. Prof. Robinson and Prof. Miller ought to have a good time together anyway. That time has come with its usual regularity. Just how it will be spent is now the serious question: and no where is it being put and answered so persistently than among the Professors of the University. Many of them will pack their grips and away, some will stay at home, while all of them will rest up and get strong for the toil next fall. The COURIER used its journalistic impudence and secured from most of the Faculty their plans for the summer. Here they are: Prof. Dunlap will return to his home in Chillicothe Ohio, where he will continue his advanced work in literary study and investigation Prof. Winkler will spend the summer in Cincinnati and there is no pleasanter place in the world,--that is, out in the matchless hills surrounding the Queen City. Prof. Ward will spend about two weeks at home in Joilet, Ill: then he will return and conduct the further work in equipping the new Electrical School. Prof. Wilcox hopes to spend most of the summer at his home in Lydon, Maryland There he and Mrs. Wilcox will go as soon as they conveniently can. Prof. and Mrs. Bailey and little ones will spend the month of July in Minnesota The Prof. will also attend the American Association for the Advancement of Science held at Indainapolis sometime in August. LAWRENCE. KANSAS, JUNE 6, 1890. THE HARDEN STUDENTS' HOUSE. A GRAND RECEPTION The reception given last Friday evening to the Senior classes of the University by Chancellor Snow and Vice-Chancellor Spangler was really a grand affair. Since then Snow Hall has won a new right to fame. Occurring, as the ing the brilliant host that partook of their hospitality. in Snow Hall. event did, beneath a stately roof of learning, it proved again how beautifully the brightest culture may be mingled with social happiness. ing the brilliant host that partook of their hospitality. The spacious rooms of Snow Hall were tastefully arranged for the occasion and never before, perhaps, were they ever put to such a happy purpose. Dellicious refreshments were sarved and the great scholarly company enjoyed the evening thoroughly.

Not the least pretty feature of the occasion was the presence of a company of young ladies who assisted in the entertainment. They were Misses Tisdale, Hadley, Winter, Love and McCortney. Miss Carrie Watson will be occupied for sometime with work in the Library, but just as soon as possible she will go to Colorado and spend the remainder of the summer among the mountains there. Prof. Dyche has not fully determined in what part of this great continent he will take his usual summer trip. British Columbia, Hudson Bay and Northern Dakota have attractions for him and he may visit all these interesting points, and it may be counted he will not visit them in vain. Prof. Carruth expects to travel quite extensively throughout the State. Mingling pleasure with business, he will continue his collection of English dialects and provincialisms. Prof. Hopkins will study in New York city. He expects to return early in the fall. Profs. Will and Ed Franklin will, as is known, spend the summer in Europe. In the fall both will begin their studies in Germany. Ed will remain one year there, while Will expects to take a full course of three years. Prof. Weida will visit in and around Harvard and John Hopkins before starting for Europe in the fall. Prof. and Mrs. McDonald will soon leave for Boston. Their summer will be spent on the coast and among the mountains. In the fall the Professor expects to begin his studies at Harvard. Miss Rudolph will return home to Wooster, Ohio.

Canfield will leave for St. Paul at the close of the commencement and there as President conduct the annual meeting of the National Teachers Association. This will occupy him until the last of July. What he will do then he has not fully decided. Prof Sayre will spend most of the summer here in study and the preparation of a text that he is getting ready for his department. He will make trips however to Philadelphia and Detroit, mainly in the interest of the American Association. Prof. A G. Canfield will spend most of the vacation at his home in Vermont. Prof. Sterling will stay at home with the exception of a short visit to Salina. Aassistant Librarian Allen will go with the great throng to the mountains. Prof. Green will stay at home most of the time. He hopes, however, to make flying trips to Nebraska and Colorado. Profs, Templin, Blackmar and Clerk Moody will remain at home. No 37. Philological Symposium. The Philological Club had its second annual Symposium last Saturday afternoon from 5 to 9 o'clock. The menu consisted of courses appropriate to the different countries of the world. It was as follows: Napkins. ORLEGE. Zacharopeekta. ITALY. Ulive Semente di Zucca. UNITED STATES. Corn Gems. Maple Syrup. ENGLAND. Cold Joint of Beef. Bread. SPAIN. Almendras. Mate. FRANCE. Petites Bouches a la Reine. FRANCE Petites Bouches a la Rive. Selsde de Laitre MEXICO. Higos. GERMANY. Pretzel. Kaese. TURKEY. Kahve Sade. Kahve Schekerll. GREECE. GREECE. Loukoumia. While most of these courses are familiar, perhaps some might not recognize preserves under the Greek name of Zacharopeekta, or figs under the Mexican name of Higos, or expect to get coffee or water if asked to take some Turkish Kahve or Gecek Nero. The Italian olives were well seasoned with pumpkin seeds, and the Spanish almonds were washed down with democratic Mate, which all imbibed through the same straw. The German Kaese was highly appreciated when the windows had been opened; but the great course was the French, the "Queen's Little Mouthfuls," being made large enough by the lettuce which accompanied it. After the feast was over. Prof. Wilcox described the Symposium of Plato, and then, at the call of the Magister Symposii, Prof. A. G. Canfield, everybody around the table, with the exception of a few modest Symposiasists, said something about eating and drinking customs. Miss Pugh gave an old receipt for pan-cakes on Shrove Tuesday; Prof. Carruth told the historical origin of the name pretzel; Prof. Sterling described the old Hindoo customs in Vedictimes, Miss Hunnicutt told of Egyptian customs; Miss Goodell discussed some manufactured foods; Prof. Robinson told of Roman dining rooms and drinking customs; Miss Reasoner told "how to go heaven from Kansas;" Prof. Dunlap told how they cooked meat in England in the middle ages. Miss Spencer described a banquet at Bracebridge Hall; Prof. McDonald described eating in Solomon Valley; Miss Helen Sutliff gave the apostles on eating; Miss Jennie Sutliff told about Rocky Mountain food; Miss MacKinnon described some Swedish customs; Miss Watson told of some peculiarities of literary men in eating and drinking, and Miss Rudolph described a Williams College supper.

The last issue of the COURIER will be left in charge of Messrs. Fox Simmons and any courtesies shown them during the coming week will be heartily appreciated. THROUGH the kindness of Vice-Chancellor Spangler we publish in this issue a new and recently taken view of Snow Hall. It is a splendid representation of a magnificent building You should get a COURIER and show this picture to your friends. No one need be ashamed of Snow Hall. "THERE isn't a chinch bug in Douglas Connyt." Such was the remark of a steady old farmer: and though it was said with every sign of truthfulness, we were not slow in telling our country friend that it was a pretty broad one, and that however highly we might respect the proverbial honesty of the horny handed granger, we were forced to seriously doubt that declaration. But it stirred up our newspaper scent and we began at once a thorough inquiry into the veracity of the remark. Not more than a year ago Prof. Snow began his first experiments with the diseases of the chinch-bug. His efforts were exceedingly successful and in a short time he had practically proven that the diseases of this deadly insect could be readily assimilated. He began at once to communicate with the farmers of the State, asking them to try his plans for the destruction of the chince-bug. At first the idea was received with disapproval, if not with jeers. But as each experiment proved successful and as farmer after farmer saw his direst enemy disappear from his lands, Prof. Snow's plans became wonderfully popular. The demand for diseased bugs became greater than the supply. Boxes upon boxes were sent through the State and over the country. Then the good news came back and a great shout went up from the homes on the plains, "The chinch bugs are dying! Prof. Snow has driven from the land the farmer's dreadful curse!" We have made, as we have said, not a few inquiries as to the number of bugs throughout the land. In doing so we have visited and questioned many farmers. Without a single exception we have found every farm free from bugs and every farmer declaring his faith in the power of Prof. Snow's "externinator." Just to give you an idea of this sentiment, here are the words from one who knows whereof he speaks--Mr. Ruben Doolittle, a very prosperous and intelligent man living south of the city:—"When Prof. Snow's plans first became known I hooted at them, just as a lot of us farmers did. But I soon saw they were successful and I tried them myself. That was last spring and at that time my farm was completely alive with the bugs. But I scattered the diseased bugs about my farm and waited with no little interest for the result. The outcome was marvelous. In a short time there wasn't a live bug on my place, and to day I will treat the man who will find one there." Treat eh? That was too much and we went right out into his wheat and corn fields with a firm determination to find a bug. We failed completely and our heart sank with the hope of a treat, Two Black Marks. Continuing, Mr. Doolittle said: "Now I consider this extermination of the chinch-bug one of the greatest blessings that has ever or can ever receive. I may be stretching it but I believe that Prof Snow has done more in this one act for the State of Kansas than did St. Patrick in driving the snakes and frogs from Ireland. I have been here for over 25 years and I cannot recall a single year in which my crops were not seriously damaged by this infernal insect. The truth is they have been taking the profit from our toil. Yes, sir, never before have I felt so confident in the result of my labors as I feel this spring. For once I believe the Kansas farmer will reap what has been sown, and that, free from the chinch bug, his path is made smoother; and what shall I say for Prof. Snow? He deserves naught but praise, and if any man should, when he is gone, have a shait reared above his grave, Prof. Snow should." This, you see, is what an intelligent man has done for his fellow men. Thus, you see, is another proof that education is filling our land with happy homes and these happy homes with good, because enlightened, people. Chaucellor Snow will never be forgotten by he farmers of Kansas. Again the Base Ball Club must add another defeat to its dubious record. The game last Wednesday with the Ottawas was played well but lost. Our boys seemed the winners until Smith became suddenly sick and then the hard blow came. The game ended with a score of 16 to 12. Again the boys were compelled to take a drubbing from the Emporias. The fact is very evident that the K. S. U. club is out-classed by Emporia. If in three games with Emporia, K. S. U. cannot win one we must confess, hard as it is to do so, that perhaps the Emporia boys are a little better base ball men than our own. The boys were confident of victory when they started from Lawrence. The rain poured down unceasingly all day Friday and no game was played. On Saturday afternoon at 3:30 the boys thought they could play even if it had rained and so waded out in the mud. The game was not very exciting for the crowd but the umpires excited the wrath of the K. S. U. boys in the 1st inning when they declared a man safe at second whom Esterly caught at least ten feet away from the bag and put the ball on him so hard that he looked mad about it for an hour afterward. The umpires showed their hand in the very first inning K. S. U. recognized the fact that she had 11 men to play against and buckled down to work, but the mud and the rotten umpiring was too much. The pitcher for Emporia had only to throw within a foot of the plate in order to secure a strike while Smith had to spike the plate. One decision was so rank that the Emporia boys themselves were ashamed of it and called their man back. He had strucked a foul ball down to the ground which rolled back to the backstop. The umpire called it the 3rd strike and he took second. The game abounded in such decisions and it is no wonder that the K. S. U. boys distinguished themselves as kickers. The only excuse Emporia had to offer was "We got rotten umpiring at Lawrence." The infield was a swamp and it is something of a wonder how Smith fanned out 13 men standing as he was, on very slippery ground. Smith and Crawford both got two very neat grounders and in attempting to toss it to first took reserved seats in the mud. The features of the game were few. Robertson's running fly catch out in left field in the 1st inning and Swank's three baggier in the 8th were about the only fine points in the game. 10 18 26 34 A. R, B. I, SH, SB, PO A. E J.

In spite of hard work and good intentions the game was won by the Sigs. The features of the game were the Ansonian manner in which Fox and Taylor guarded the initial bag, Merriam's warm pick ups, Phillip's throwing from first and Swank's catching. More Commencement News. More Commencement News. "Sweetpea's Pleasure Trip" will be repeated on Monday, June 9 for the benefit of the commencement visitors and the many who failed to see it before. We believe the sparkling and cleverly played farce will be given a pleasant reception. It deserves it. Gen. McCook of Fort Leavenworth, one of the ten famos fighting brothers, will attend the commencement and hear his brother's oration. Gen. McCook will deliver his oration before the Literary Societies on Tuesday evening instead of Monday. This is a change for the better, as you will see. Ex-Chancellor Lippincott will attend the collegiate commencement. A Last and Long Farewell. The farewell service held for the students at Trinity church last Sunday morning was a very successful affair. The students turned out in large numbers, the Phi Psi, Beta and Sigma Nu fraternities attending in bodies. Never before, we believe, was the pious side of K. S. U. better shown. The services were just as pleasant as they were long. But pious students can stand any length of worship. The sermon preached by Rev. Ayres was an excellent one. Though ponderous, it was eminently wise and practical. The students will never forget the kindness shown by the Trinity church. The gentlemen of the Sigma Nu fraternity celebrated their sixth anniversary by giving a reception, banquet and ball last night in honor of their friend, Mrs Flora Bennett. The affair was in every way a brilliant success. Their spacious hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and never before did it look so inviting. Following the pleasant reception came an elegantly served supper. Wiedemann is a suberb caterer. The speaking was exceedingly pleasant and every toast was given a hearty reception. They were as follows: "The Occasion" by C. H. Sears; "Our Alumni," F. A. Marshall; "Our Chapter Roll," J. I. Palmer; "College Journalism," W. J. Sears; "The Kansas State University," Prof. W. H. Carruth; "The Fraternity," A. J. Graham; and "The Ladies," Will A. Foster. Prof. Carruth's toast was characteristically bright and sensible. Among the excellent things that he said he expressed the fear that the University was making a too rapid material advancement. Stately buildings and large laboratories do not prove the worth of a school. He also said that the one thing needed above anything else was a well equipped library It is not laboratories valuable only to the few that we want, but a great and exhaustive library valuable to every student of the University. "Why, do you know" he said, "that during the last three years more money has been spent for one department than our entire library is worth! Henceforth I want the students to persist in the shout for a library!" Prof. Carruth struck the nail squarely and his toast was warmly received. With the close of the banquet Collins struck up the strains of a march. Then began the pleasure that did not end until the lateness of the hour forced the happy company to disperse. The singing of Sears, Engel, Keys and Sears was a pleasant feature of the occasion. Those present were: Mrs. Flora Bennett, Prof. and Mrs. Wilcox, Prof. A. G. Canfield, Prof. Carruth, Prof. Green, Prof. Dunlap, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Sears, Misses Maud Miller and Robinson, of Paola, Miss Berta Smyser, of Sterling, Miss Caylor, of Olathe, Misses Stevens, Herrington, Hunnicutt, McClure, Lillie and Lottie Hinman, Gregg, Walters, Lillie and Stella Robins, Whorton and Miller and Messrs, Marshall, of Leavenworth, Cramer, of Eskrikge, Col., Parker, of Paola, Rutter, of Spring Hill, and Keys, Robinson, Palmer, Engel, Sears, Foster, Copper, Sears, Simmons, Carlson, and Graham, Field Day. Field day promises to be the most interesting the U has ever had. Chairman Hall is confident of a good big time, and every indication convinces us that he will not be disappointed. The tennis games and boat race will occur this forenoon. The tennis contestants are : Singles, Sherman and Bowersock; Doubles, Sherman and Nourse and Bowes. --- sock be be Barba will cl Univ list sue oe so ee ally al so health metal the la J he w Wy nex J. hom scho and J.

In doing so they will not only create a healthy athletic spirit but make more certain the hope of all—the establishment of a gymnasium on the hill. J. H. Sawtell has gone to his home in Dillon Kars. He will sell school furniture during the summer and be back in school next fall. J. I. Hamaker left for Belle Springs Kans, last Sunday. Hamaker has made a good record in the U. J. H. Nowlin went home Tuesday, he will attend the Co. Normal in Wyandotte Co. and teach school next year. D. H. Spencer treated a number of his friends to a boat ride last Monday evening. The boys say the examination in Caesar was more difficult than the ascent from Avernus. Royster and Riddle had a capsize in the river Saturday. The ducking was nothing but Royster unfortunately lost a valuable gold watch. Every effort has been made to find it but all in vain. Royster is certainly unlucky. Our tennis team, Canfield and Whitman, didn't win first place in the recent Excelsior games, but they tied for second in both doubles and singles. That's much better than nothing. But after all they certainly won their share of honors for Prof. Canfield was elected President of the Southwestern Tennis Association. Another honor for K S. U. We are sorry to hear that Potter won't return next year. Carl Phillipps is the newest Sigma Chi. Those who want to see a pleasant and soul stirring dramatic performance should see "Civil Strife" to night. Several University students take part and whether that is an inducement to attend or not, you will not regret it if you do Prof. Winkler has gone to his home in Cincinnati. - Charlie Cramer, '79, now a prosperous young man of Colorado, is visiting his many friends in Lawrence. He will see a part of the commencement, too Miss Berta Smyser of Sterling, is a pleasant commencement visitor, the guest of Miss Lillie Hinman Miss Lucie Treadwell, of Ottawa is a guest of Miss Lichtenwalter during commencement. She attended the concert last Thursday. D. B. Babbit left for K C. Wednesday morning where he will spend the summer. Kellogg and Funston left Wednesday for Colorado. Clarence Harper left for home Monday. Tom Flannelly of Topeka came down Wednesday to take the law examination. Pres King who was called home by the death of his grand father has returned. Linville leaves for home tomorrow. The Phi Psis have challenged the Sigma Chis to a game of ball. Miss Hayes of Paola, a student of last year is in the city. Miss Sprague of Aitchison is the guest of Miss Daisy Orton. Miss Stacy of St. Joseph, Mo. attended the Kappa reception. Prof. Canfield and Russ Whitman retuned from their Emporia trip Wednesday. The state examining board failing to appear on time, the Senior Pharmacy class was examined by Profs. Sayre and Bailey. On Tuesday evening Kappa Kappa Gamma entertained her friends with a delightful lawn party at the residence of Mr. Bowersock on south Tennessee street. The elegant mansion was thrown open from top to bottom, and no means were spared to make the occasion an enjoyable one. Miss Edna Maxwell and Miss May Webster leave today for New York where they will spend the summer. Armstrong takes Harper's place in the ball club. Miss Gertrude Crotty left Wednesday for the East. Walter Sears leaves Sunday on his home in Ohio. Papers at Smith's. Dolly Graeber—Boats to rent. All the latest novels at Smith's. Party ties all styles at Abe Levy's.

Something Handsome. Or at least as handsome as you are, is what a photograph of yourself taken at Mettner's Studio will be. Mettner enjoys an enviabe reputation among the University people—professors 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. Mettner's work speaks for itself when once seen Students remember it will pay you to buy your books of B. Glick, K. C. Go you, you I mean, and take a boat ride Dolly Graecber's boats are the ones to rent. Students wishing Fine Photos before commencement will save time and money by having them made by Morris.

VIII Gommencement Week. Something About the Exercises on the "Hill" The Alumni Banquets- The Class Banquets, and Commencement Day. The concert was under the management of Prof. McDonald, and spoke praises of the work which has been accomplished in his department. The performers were an honor to themselves and to the University. LAWRENCE KANSAS, JUNE 13, 1890. Commencement Concert The concert given by the School of Music, assisted by Miss Hutchings and Mr. Howe, was a splendid success and an appropriate beginning of the gala week at the University. THURSDAY, JUNE 5th, 8 P M. Miss Weller had the misfortune of being the first on the program, but succeeded in securing the close attention of the audience. Miss Hoadly rendered a pleasing selection with her usual ease of execution. Miss Brown played before the great audience as though it were an every day affair. Miss Burr played charmingly, having a faultless execution. She delighted her friends. Miss Wynne's selection was pleasing and was well rendered. The rippling waters could almost be heard during Miss Lichtenwalter's rendering of LaCascade. The descriptions were beautiful. "The Invitation to the Dance," by Misses Brown, Burr, Wynne and Mr. Hair, was faultless in mechanical execution, and had Weber heard it from a seat in the auditorium he would have doubtless cheered enthusiastically. The vocal solos by Miss Hutchings, and the duets by Miss Hutchings and Mr. Howe are well known to the people of the University and of Lawrence, and need no comment. Their "Dews of a summer night," brought forth a hearty encore. The house was comfortably filled, and the audience had nothing but words of praise for the performers and for Prof. McDonald. The Field Day Heroes. The day was a decidedly pleasant one, in fact a more suitable one could hardly have been wished. A slight breeze from the west was blowing but it did not interfere with any of the sports and served to keep the crowd cool. The first were the tennis doubles, which were won easily by Brooks and Bowersock. Mr. Brooks is quite a skillful wielder of the racquet and Mr. Bowersock is not at all behind him. After the tennis came the great event of the season. The greatest because the first boat race that has ment oard between K. S. U. teams taken Elec [Klassic Kaw] The start was made a crowd of over 300 were gathered along the shore by Eidemiller's ice house where the finish could be seen. After some time was consumed in fixing the starting floats which had drifted from their positions, the two crews, consisting of Messrs. Hadley and Robinson, Brown and Barber, started at the sound of a pistol shot for the goal. Robinson and Hadley made a better start than Brown and Barber but soon lost what they had gained by not keeping a direct course. Messrs. Brown and Barber once having gotten the start kept it and came in at least seven lengths ahead. Robinson and Hadley are not as heavy men as their opponents in the boat race and also have not the wind necessary for a long pull. The boat race we hope will become a permanent feature in our field day exercises. There is some talk of two four oared shells being purchased for next year. We hope that it will be done and that we can get up boating teams that will be equal to the eastern college teams. The following is the record of the field day exercises at the B. B. grounds in the afternoon. L. A. Smith won $21.00 in prizes and evidently is the best all round athlete in the school. The mile walk had eight contestants but only one of them walked. Slow bicycle race won by E. W. Caldwell at the rate of a mile in 50 minutes; prize, $1.50 High kick wen by L. A. Smith; prize, $1.50. Egg race won by L. A. Smith; prize, $1.50. Standing broad jump won by A.F. Sherman, 11 feet 10 inches; prize, $2.00. Standing high jump won by A. F Sherman; prize, $2.00. Mile walk won by W. A. Snow, prize, $4 00. Throwing heavy weight won by L. A. Smith, 36 feet, 2 inches, prize, $1.50. Putting shot, won by L. A. Smith, 27 feet 2 inches, prize $1.50. 100 yard dash won by L. A. Smith, 10½ seconds, prize $5.00. Running broad jump won by L. A. Smith, 17 feet $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches, prize, $2.50. Running high jump won by L. A. Smith, prize $2.50. Hurdle race won by L. A. Smith, prize, $5.00. Wrestling won by A. F. Sherman, prize, $5.00 Profs. Sterling and Carruth were referees and kept the ball rolling. Hop step and jump, won by J. D. Classen, prize, $2 50. Long throw won by Hi. Adams. 92 yards 6 inches, prize $1.00. SUNDAY, JUNE 8th, 8 P.M. The annual Baccalaureate sermon was preached in University hall last Sunday evening at eight o'clock. It is the custom of the city churches not to hold services The Baccalaureate Sermon. on the evening of this sermon, consequently the chapel is always crowded to its utmost capacity. So when the Rev. Joseph T. Duryea, D. D., of Omaha, Neb., appeared on the rostrum, he found before him a large, cultivated and expectant audience. Dr. Duryea is an earnest, impressive talker, speaking without notes and held his large audience in close attention for an hour. His text was Matthew, xvi:18—"And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." On this most excellent text, the Rev. gentleman based not a doctrinal sermon, but a discourse full of sound, practical, Christianity, dwelling on the work of Jesus, and emphasizing the point, that in this life men were wanted, just as in time of war placards were posted announcing that men were wanted to fight the battles of the country The Congregational choir furnished the singing, which is a sufficient guarantee that it was excellent. The ministers of the city occupied seats upon the rostrum. Rev. Mr. Ayers made the opening prayer, Dr Howland read the scripture, Dr Marvin delivered the closing prayer and Dr. Cordley pronounced the benediction. Pharmacy Commencement The program offered by the Pharmacy class on Monday, owing to the busy time in getting ready for the three big days of the week, did not draw a large crowd, and when the class, accompanied by the Juniors, filed into the hall to a march by the First Regiment Band, it was scarcely half full. The rostrum was very tastefully decorated with grasses leaves and roses. Three members of the State Board of Pharmacy added dignity to the occasion by their presence upon the platform, and under the management of Mr. J.D Classen, as president of the day, the program was nicely carried forward. There are ten members of the graduating class, Messrs. V. T. Boaz, J. D. Classen, H. A Adams, S. J. Kelley, L. S. Hacket, B. F. Fiegenbaum, H. W. Thomas, E. W. Smelser, Carl Phillips and J. E. Youngberg. Of these, three have had the required two years experience in a drug store and will receive their diplomas; they are Messrs. Boaz, Thomas and Classen. The following program was carried out: Overture, Poet and Peasant, Soppe Invocation, REV. KELLAR Salutatory, L S HACKET Irish Growth, Ro e of Erin, Theo. Moses Address, PROF. SAYKE Serenade, Duet for flute and horn, Tittl Address, PROF. FRANCIS HEHM Guard Mount, Eilenberg Valedictory, B F. FIEGENBAUM Tanhauser March, Wagner This, as may be seen, is a variation from the old time pill speech making. The program throughout was commendable The Salutatory by Mr. Hacket and the Valedictory by Mr Fiegenbaum were well written articles Prof. Hemm, of the St. Louis School of Pharmacy, read a good paper on Pharmacy. Prof. Hemm complimented Kansas on having such good laws in regard to the practice of pharmacy. He thought that we should be proud both of our school of pharmacy and of Prof. Sayre, who is known over the entire country. Mr. Hemm, however, insulted the Juniors by mistaking them in his final remarks for the Seniors—so the Juniors say. The feature of the program was Prof. Sayre's address, a part of it is given below Graduation is an important event to the student; it is a red letter day in his history. After passing successfully the numerous quizzes, reviews and examinations one might expect him to be in a very good humor. Yesterday he was among the anxious ones, timidly approaching the meshes of that awful faculty seive, wondering whether he had escaped pulverization. To-day reflections on pulverulent conditions are to him things of the past and he rejoices and we also, that in spite of the past severe ordeal he still remains an unmutilated form, whole in all its parts. The degree of graduate in pharmacy, it may not be known to all present, is conferred by the school of pharmacy upon those who, besides completing a two years course of systematic training in this department of the University, have also received two years additional training under a preceptor in actual practice. The Arabian proverb has it: "Pitch a lucky man into the Nile, and he will come up with a fish in his mouth." I know you would prefer fish obtained under rather different conditions than these. If you have the luck we wish for you, the golden hook which catches the fish without the ordeal of the Arabin proverb will be yours. To the student in pharmacy I would say that the state has demanded that you obtain a certain knowledge and training, perhaps for very practical purposes. You yourself may have looked largely upon the utilitarian side. What-ever may have been your view, I would say if your course here has not changed or enlarged this idea it has in a great measure failed of its purpose. Independent of professors and instructors there are traditions belonging to an institution such as ours and there is an intellectual atmosphere which has almost imperceptably been a part of your education and tended to give you a rotundity of character and a wholesome development of intellect. If this has not been true your course has in a great degree failed of its purpose. No 38. * * * * If your course in the University has not created a taste at least outside of the scientific line of study, it has to a great extent failed of its purpose. There is one thought in closing: Let me ask you to remain loyal to the principles this institution has inculcated. You have completed a course of study here, but this does not imply a completion of study. You make a fatal mistake if you rest upon the present attainments; if you regard, indeed, your course of study here more than merely a preparation for future work. The sciences which apply to pharmacy are by no means fixed; new problems and new discoveries are being made every day, and he who rests sa i.fied with present requirements will find himself retrograding in a field of ceaseless activity. I hope you have received some incentive for continued exertion. Pecuniary inducement I grant is not held out, but let your responsibility to science, to the sick and the suffering be a sufficient inducement. Let the character of your aim be pure and success will attend you. Your highest reward should be found in the consciousness of having performed your duties to the best of your abilities. Finally let me ask you to keep ever before your eyes the professional obligations of the pharmacist, which are equivalent to an unswerving integrity. Severely Caned. The members of the Senior law class called on Prof. Green in a body at his home on Kentucky St. Saturday evening and presented him with a gold-headed cane as a token of remembrance, and as an expression of the high esteem in which they hold and regard him The Prof. was not at home when the boys arrived but Vice-Chancellor Spangler came to the rescue and succeeded in inveighing him away from a reception he was attending at Chancellor Snow's. On getting home the Prof. was very much surprised to find the Seniors in possession. Mr Chas. Farrow was selected by the class to present the cane which he did in a neat and unassuming way. The Prof. was somewhat confused at first but soon rallied and responded in fitting terms. After an hours pleasant conversation the boys bade the Prof. and Mrs Green goodnight and went home feeling happy and jolly good fellows and that the Professor is one of the best, joyful and whole souled men that it is rarely one's good fortune to meet in a life time. Y. Dr. Geo Baur, of Yale College: one of the most learned men in vertebra fossils, visited the University museum last week. He expressed himself as very much surprised both at the collections and the University. n Mrs. Savage for Commencement Hats and Bonnets, 901 Massacushetts St. --- Everything in Gentlemens' Wear can be obtained at GFO.

This issue mars the close of this year of the WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER; it places the last pages in Volume VIII, a volume that asks to take its position among those of an honorable carrier. We have but little to say for that volume, it speaks for itself. There are blots and blemishes in it—mistakes—who doesn't make them? We would rub them out and smooth them away, but that is impossible, they must remain a part of an imperfect and irretrievable past. Yet, you will allow us the modest hope that we have not labored wholly in vain. We have done what we could do to make the COURIER a creditable representative of a great and growing institution. We are sure we have never forgotten that the COURIER was a part of a power of untold worth, that it was a possible force in that great cause: higher education. If then, the COURIER has added one whit of pleasure to college life, if it has been the students cordial if not helping friend, we are satisfied. Loving the principles of universal democracy, we have tried to be fair, impartial and unprejudiced. Because he is a laborer in a noble cause we never donbt a students nobility until compelled to. The noble merit the respect of mankind. Prompted by timely and manly criticism and our own realization of its weakness we have earnestly endeavored to better the character of our college press. We have fallen far from our ideal standard, there is yet much to be done. When our college journals shall have lain aside its narrow conservatism and unnatural tendencies, when it shall have become more manly, more practical more broadly intellectual, more like the concerns that win mens hearts because they first wfn their respect, when this is so, then many college editors cease their toil for better things. To the students and faculty, to a manly college press, to the Review and Kansan, to the Lawrence Record and Journal-Tribune, to the papers throughout the State, to innumerable friends, we want to extend again our hearty thanks for unfailing courtesies and kind words. Generous souls can never be forgotten. We shall return home with a heart full of love and hope for the manly spirit of the West and the proud progress of the Kansas State University. Glad to get away from the graduating duties of a grinding "job," we willingly place the COURTER in other hands, confident that another year will add another volume to those now on file. W. J. S. THE weekly newspapers in the University for the past two years have been twain. The point to be empoasized right here is the fact that the University can only support one weekly paper and do herself credit. Nor do we wish to be understood as coming out at this late day to wage war against our peace-loving contemporary, but only to present a few facts to the mature and thinking students of K. S. U., for their consideration. The first one you will readily grant: There is one too many weeklies in the field. The next is: Which shall it be, COURIER or Kansan? The COURIER in its past volume, of which this issue is the close, has striven to be a students' paper, and not a paper in the interests of the "combination" and think we have succeeded. But another point before we go further: We, the COURIER management, have made it pay. The Kansan has not, and has been compelled to levy upon its share-holders time and time again. Last week our Kansan friends did not feel able, pecuniarily or otherwise, we know not which, to issue their paper. This occurring as it did at the newsiest period of the school year, might argue something toward the fittest paper for the students to clinch their faith and support. Time has shown that the COURIER is here to stay, notwithstanding that the Kansan, coming out three hours after the COURIER was issued, this fall, contained an obituary notice of the COURIER. But to return to our point. All want only our paper in the University The COURIER fills the requirements, and the management would respectfully ask the support of all for the coming year. The fact of the Kansan's failing to issue a number last week should point out to every clear minded man and boy, in the University which paper they should support. Next year the COURIER will be with you. We wish you all a pleasant vacation, and a happy return to K. S. U. in September. THE COURIER desires to extend thanks to Messrs. W. M. Curry, Chas. Farrow, Claassen and Fiegenbaum, for help in getting out this last issue. Mr. Curry has charge of the personal and local columns, Mr. Farrow chased down the lawyers for us, Mr. Claassen and Mr. Fiegenbaum gave us material aid in writing up the pharmacy department this commencement. See the summer clothing at the Boston Square Dealing Clothiers. GEN. McCOOK is the kind of a man we like to see, never behind hand in anything, always in the front rank in every enterprise, while here, he showed the wealthy sons of the Sonflower State the way to express their loyalty to their own institutions. The General before leaving Lawrence made this offer: I will double any sum that may be raised for*the Athletic Association, and at any rate I will give $1,500. General McCook is not a Kansas man but he sees the need of vigorous athletic exercise for young men in college and then too he saw the inadaquate equipment of the present association and with the same spirit that gave him the sobriquet of 'the Fighter' he wished to fill the breach. We should be glad if the General would be compelled to at least double his $1,500. There are two live, active professors who have been identified with the athletic movement and who we doubt not will exert every effort to secure donations for the association. 'Tis pleasing to those who have labored so hard for the Athletic Association to see that their labors have been appreciated. Prof Carruth and Prof. Sterling, aided and abetted by Prof P. G. Canfield, we may safely say will show the people of Kansas that the athletic association is not involved in the dim and misty depths of obscurity but is an active and live reality. The COURIER in the name of the students of the University tenders the most hearty thanks to Gen. McCook for his kindness. The Current Sets AwAy. The feeling seems to be gaining ground that the work of the K. S. U. is not enough to finish a young man's or young woman's education. Miss Merrill is at Bryn Maur. Of this year's class, Brewster, Hill, and perhaps Liddeke will go to Harvard and enter the Senior class to take their A. B. there. The two Franklins go to Germany. W. H. Johnson and L. T. Smith go to Johns Hopkins. Wilkinson and one or two others are thinking of going to Harvard before graduating here. Owing to the necessary rush and hustle for the events of the week on Mt. Oread, we were unable to secure brief sketches of the lives of all the Seniors. We have secured the majority of the class and we are pleased to thus make known to the world those who will be important factors in it. THE name of Prof J. W. Green, Dean of the law department, was left out of the heading of the law department by the inadvertance of the proof. reader. We wish to apologize for our proof reader. From Lawrence to Kansas City. The undersigned, President and Proprietor of the Lawrence Business College for eight years past, wishes to announce to his many former pupils graduates, friends, and public generally, that he has sold the above school and removed to Kansas City, Mo., where he assumes the management of the Ksnsas City Business College. In announcing this change we wish to make grateful acknowledgment to an intelligent and appreciative public for the high mark of favor accorded to our institution while located at Lawrence and promise that every possible effort shall be made to maintain in the Kansas City Business College, that standard of instruction which first secured for the Lawrence school so generous a patronage and support. this move is justified, from the fact that a large commercial center possesses many decided advantages over a small town for a great school of business, not only in its increased field of labor, but to the pupils who attend this class of schools as well; giving them far greater opportunities to secure a foothold in the business world after the work of preparation is complete. A few months residence among the stirring scenes of enterprise and activity familiarizes young men and young women with the vast realities of the world of trade, and gives them a practical insight into the complicated workings of the great wheels of commerce, which is of itself an education and wonderful incentive to young aspirants for place and position. We solicit for our school at Kansas City a continuance of your individual patronage and encouragement pledging ourselves to maintain the best commercial school in the west and as good as any in the country. All former pupils, friends, correspondents and everybody interested in se, curing a shorthand or business education will address me at Kansas City for catalogue and other information, in reference to our school, instead of Lawrence as heretofore. Respectfully E. L. McLravy, Pres., Kansas City Business College, New York Life Bldg. Kansas City, Mo. The music house of W.W.

Short Sketches of the Lives of Each One of the Graduates of '90- Giving Politics, Profession and Future Prospects. HARVEY F. M. BEAR, was born in Paola June, 4, 1869. After graduating from the High School of his native place, he entered the State University in 1886. His course here has been marked by brilliant achievements. As a scholar he has an enviable and admirable record. As a student he has ever been popular. For the past year he has very ably edited the University Review. He was winner in the local oratorical contest held here in December. His friends and his brothers in Beta Theta Pi may well feel flattered in 'Harvey,' Mr Bear has received an offer to travel for the K. C. Times this summer and may conclude to accept. Success go with you "Harvey" as here-to-fore. DANIEL EDWARD ESTERLY was born in Columbiana, Ohio, Dec. 1866. He attended the Ohio State University for one year and then came west, taught school for a couple of years, and then entered K. S. U. He has always made a good record as a student here, and of a surety will be one of those from whom we shall hear hereafter.

Are You a Judge OF WHAT YOU BUY? In dry goods as in other goods there is danger of conlounding what seems to be true with what is. There is a good deal of ranting done. Our several departments were never so full of desirable goods as now. Take a day off and visit the different stores in this city; examine the styles qualities and prices. You can, if you are a judge of goods and character, locate where you are likely to trade. Comparisons are oftentimes odious. But where assertions are strongly indulged in prove them to your own satisfaction. We don't ask your trade unless we can prove to your satisfaction that we offer you inducements not found elsewhere. INNES. Crains & Urbansky carry a large line of hobby summer suits. For most Chinese slaves in all styles go to Himezu 830 Miles 31 GO TO HAMILTON'S FOR CABINET PHOTOS! Annual Banquet and Symposium of the Seminary of History and Political Science This is the time of year when the University people go in for banquets, and when nearly everything is called a Symposium. The Seminary is no exception, and Wednesday evening the active and corresponding members assembled in Prof. Canfield's room to celebrate the first annual banquet and symposium. The tables were spread at hain past eight, and Prof. Canfield presided in his usual happy manner, with Gov. Robinson on his right and Judge Humphrey, of Junction City, to his left. When ample justice had been done to the repast, served by the young ladies of the University, Prof Canfield arose to begin the work of the Symposium proper. He reviewed at some length the work done during the past year, and then called on the vice-director, Prof. Blackmar to compare the work of the seminary here, with like work elsewhere. Prof. Blackmar spoke of the work at Yale, Johns Hopkins, and University of Michigan, saying that the work here was fully up to anything in these schools. He quoted Prof. Adams of Johns Hopkins as saying that the Western student may lack the polish of of the New Englander, but he gets there just the same. Gov. Robinson then told of the trials and difficulties through which the U. went in the early days. The three minute rule was now declared in force by Director Canfield, and Mr. Bear of the class of 90 spoke on the influence of the University in the community. Judge Humphrey told what he thought a University course was worth to the bar of the state. A man who has not a thorough collegiate training, is at a great disadvantage in the lawyer's profession. A. L. Burney spoke of the University man in politics, advocating that he should follow the teachings of the golden rule. The University man in connection with the press, was discussed by Col., O. E. Leonard. He thought a University course was necessary to the best newspaper work Prof. Canfield in rising to introduce the next speaker, spoke with enthusiasm of the position which K. S. U. occupied in co-education. He announced "post-graduate work, the link between the U. and practical life," and called on Miss Hunnicutt to respond. She thought this work should be extended as it was the only opportunity given the student to do original work. No student could know chemistry and botany after ten weeks' study nor political economy after twenty weeks. D. E. Esterley talked of the University boys after they left college—of their uniform success, even as ball players, before graduating. What the University can and does do for women, was handled by Miss Reasoner in an interesting manner — prophesying the time when the graduating class would not number twenty boys and eight girls, as does the class of 00. Prof. Blake next spoke in his interesting manner, of applied science in the University. He expressed bright hopes for the study of science in K. S. U. This ended the first Symposium, and Prof. Canfield declared the meeting adjourned for one year. K, S, U's Honored Men. We are continually called upon to note the upward march of the Sons of K. S. U. and we record the success of none more heartily than that of Frank G. Crowell, who graduated with degree A. B. in 1888 from K. S. U. Mr. Crowell was actively interested in college journalism while here and was Editor of the COURIER during his Senior year. He was also a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The COURIER congratulates Mr. Crowell and all his friends on his well merited honors and hopes to record other triumphs for him when he graduates from the Columbia Law School in 1801. We clip the following from the Atchison Champion : The New York Tribune of the 3d inst conveys the gratifying intelligence that our young townsman, Frank G. Crowell, only son of Major John M. Crowell, who has just closed his second year at the Columbia Law School, in New York city, has successfully passed his examinations for the degree of Master of Arts, and that, in competition with a large number of competitors, he carried off the Seligman Prize Fellowship of $250 in cash, the highest prize offered in the Department of Municipal Law. Mr. Crowell graduated with honors from the Atchison High School and the Kansas State University, and his recent achievements reflect great credit upon these institutions, upon the city and State which is proud to claim him for its own, and, most of all, upon his own intelligence, industry and manhood. C. B. CRAMER. C. B. Cramer, of the class of '79, was one of the old boys who was in to visit the dear old K. S. U. Mr. Cramer took a post graduate course in civil engineering in '82, and3.Mr Cramer is truly a self made man as he worked his way through college and is one to which the University can point with pride as the sample of men which she sends forth. Mr. Cramer was first appointed deputy mineral surveyor by the surveyor general of Col, and located at Breckenridge. This position required $10,000 bonds and very careful work. Mr. Cramer was the man for the place. He passed the best examination for deputy that has ever been taken in Col Since then he has occupied his position and has built up a reputation as being the best surveyor in Col. He is making from 3 to 5 thousand dollars a year and has refused several propositions to run for high offices in the state. Mr. Cramer has made quite a reputation as a ready speaker and gives the Colorado people some good thoughts, Mr Cramer has recently built the finest house in Breckenridge and as he is a single man probably ___ well we'll say nothing about it "Charly." Good luck go with you. Papers at Smith's. THE last issue of the Washburn Argo contains a happy doggerel on the recent oratorial victory. We give below a few selections and we believe it will please you as it did us: With its noise of horns and tin pans, With the yip, yahoo of Washburn, With the yip, yahoo of Washburn.

When he brought to Washburn honors. When he made our college famous. Cried the Profs, and cried the students When he came in linen homeward. From the regions of the North Wind, From the big state of Nebraska, Where they raise their small potatoes. Then we had a celebration. And the Lawrence boys came up here, And we met them at the depot. (In our mind.) Bear, of Lawrence, then addressed us An extempore production That cost two weeks preparation, Said that since the last state contest, red not claimed to be a speaker. Said that he was glad we beat him. And a voice from out the darkness Quickly broke it off within him, Who, when Naylor took the rostrum Said, "that fellow with the mustache, Ef his speech is as much better Answering loudly "we are also." Then he told us at the contest by him sat a rustic stranger. Who, when Naylor took the rostrum By him sat a rustic stranger. Who, when Naylor took the roost As he is much better looken He will sartan win the contest." Then the K. S. U. boys gathered For a few short songs are leaving Said good by and on the street cars Soon were speeding through the darkness Then we turned our faces homeward And we felt our hearts beat warmer For the act of hearty friendship. For the act of hearty friendship, For the cordial and warm hearted Way in which the K, S. U. boys Came to give congratulations, when through Washburn's Naylor, Kansas Won the Interstate at Lincoln. In the Game Bag. The K. S. U. boys are not "Jonahs" all the time. When they have once beaten a club it is hard for that club to retrieve their fallen glory and so the McCooks found it in last Saturday's game. The game was called at 2 o'clock by Umpire Sugro and was very exciting from the very first. Manager Armstrong played ball in Swank's place until he arrived and watched with a crestfallen phiz the constantly increasing score of the Mcs. At the end of the second inning the score was 10 to 2 in favor of the soldiers. Smith then stepped into the box and the "learned boys" thought that turn about was fair play and promptly proceeded to pound the boys in blue all over the field for two baggers and three baggers. The score began to become even and at the end of the 6th inning was 11 to 11. The boys from Leavenworth wished to catch the 4 o'clock train for Leavenworth and so quit the game. Umpire Sugro, after waiting for sometime to see if the game would not be continued, called the game 9 to 0 for K.S.U. The features of the game were the large number of errors made on both sides and the bunching of hits by K S. U, in the 5th and 6th inning. Swank made a fine running fly catch and Smith on second made a good catch of a hot liner that seemed good for two bases. Davis did not catch his regular game but still was ahead of the majority of the nine. Wild throwing and poor catching will not win. But still the Mes are ours and why debate the playing. College Journalism. [An article found among the papers of our editor-in-chief, W. J. S., which we think is well worthy of a place in a college paper.] "That endless book, the newspaper, is our national glory." That is one of Beecher's opinions of American Journalism. If not a definition, it is at least a happy suggestion of a power that is moving the world along because it is moving men's minds. But do you suppose that the great preacher had any thought of college journalism when he paid that tribute to professional journalism? I know that there is no telling what so marvelous a mind might have thought, but I am seriously of the opinion that the college journal was given a cruel slight. Nor can we censure the omission. Censure it? Then we must censure the great professional and critical press from which college journalism has received naught but silent contempt, nothing more, at most, than descending snubs and pompous praise; even the learned Lowell, becoming chagrined, I should judge, at his own college effusions, has taken up the cudgel and dealt college literature such blows as will never be forgotten. Nor do I believe that this neglect and these criticisms have been undeserved or unjust. College journalism, while it has recorded the birth and progress of American colleges, has lived alone and from the world apart. Conservative to an extreme, if not narrow and prejudiced in its views, and foolishly realistic in its tendencies, it has neither won the approval of the sensible nor the respect of the friendly. When Lowell called a halt college journalism accepted inspired love songs for poetry, sophomoric delusions for orations, "cribbed" and characterless expositions for essays and ancient and dirge-like chronicles for news. I am not, therefore, surprised that many good men have thought with him that college journalism was nothing more than the ambitious nonsense of a lot of earnest but deluded youngsters Since the world began men have been fighting for something,—it may have been for love or hate, or wealth or honor—but they have been fighting. First they fought with the sword and might was conqueror; then the printing press was born and with it a new and nobler kind of human beings. Now men fight with the pen and thought is conqueror. Yes they keep fighting, these men do, but now their war tare is humane and holy. Their battle fields are everywhere—everywhere there is a printing press. (These battles are defeats sometimes, but then they have no blood stains and they make the man by contests of manly men.) Since Guttenberg lived and wrought, there has not been a good or great triumph the press has not helped to win. Since that time there has been no reform, no new principal or thought, no set of men, no body of fanatics, no clan of cranks, no human concern, in whose success or failure the press has not joined. When I remember all this, together with the decided fact that the student is preeminently a thinker and a fighter, I am notsurprised that there is such a thing as college journalism. Never will it cease to be; as long as human nature remains the same, as long as there is this cause to be espoused and that one to be opposed, as long as students are ambitious to lead and willing to follow, as long as this considerable number want to become editors and that inconsiderable number want to become business managers, as long as Chancellor Jones will give receptions and these young ladies swell affairs, and those young gentlemen June parties, with the natural expectation of getting a big puff from the press, as long as Mary or Martha or Mable or Tom or Dick or Harry will do anything that you want to know and talk and gossip about, just so long must we submit to a college press. You will agree with me that college journalism is full of great possibilities You will agree with me that it could be made a power for good, that it could be made a beneficial part of a student's life, that it could be made his friend and helper. If in the past the college press has failed, if it has been weak and meritless, we cannot say that it was due to any fault of the college press, but of the college press-men. But it's a queer cloud that has no silver lining. I believe a new life and inspiration has gotten hold of our college pressmen. They have been working with a higher purpose. To-day they are nearer the standard of possible good than they have ever been, and I fear no contradiction in saying that they are now working a steady and thorough advancement in literary worth and excellence. I am convinced that today a manly endeavor is being made throughout the land to better the character of our college press; to make it more a fair and creditable representative of the strength and ability of our college students. I am sure it is becoming more sensible, more practical, more broadly intellectual, more like the ideas that win men's hearts because they first win their respect, and in so far as this is true, just so far is college journalism fulfilling its mission; just so far is it becoming a helping and uplifting force of that great power which "makes for righteousness" higher education.

PROF. SNOW'S INAUGURATION ROCK CHALK JAY HAWK—K—U— WILLIAM T. HARRIS CHANCELLOR SNOW. The University now has a Chancellor. It is now Chancellor Snow in the full sense of the word The public inauguration of Prof. Snow took place in the University hall Wednesday morning, As the assembly gathered into the hall to witness this occasion an ejaculation of admiration invariably burst from each one as he entered the door, at the beautifully decorated rostrum. The decorations were better designed and more beautiful than any ever before placed upon the University platform. Superintendent Crocker and John Sterret assisted by Mrs. Brooks, the florist, deserve the credit of its success. At the front of the rostrum reaching almost its entire length was a deep row of roses, of all colors, beautifully arranged over the center and front of the rostrum was erected an arch made on each side of three pillars 14 feet high, connected near the top by double arch. Between the arches at the center in beautiful snow white roses appeared the single word "snow." Just above it on the upper arch was placed in evergreen leaves the date 1890. The whole structure was profusely decorated. Vases of Mrs. Brook's most fragrant flowers were placed here and there about the front of the platform and gave a delightful odor to the white chapel. Three large flags drooping upon the wall at the back of the rostrum added materially to the scene. The sight was such that, understanding the circumstances, made the heart of every student well up with pride and enthusiasm. At 10:30 o'clock the board of regents and Prof. Snow, accompanied by Governor Humphrey and other state officers, with Dr. Cordley, marched upon the platform, After enthusiastic cheeing by the audience and prayer by Dr. Cordley Regent Gleed spoke on behalf of the regents. His speech was splendid. Mr. Gleed was frequently applauded and caused merriment whenever he chose. Uncancellor Snow then spoke. His speech was one of the finest written history of the University. He recounted the struggles of the University; told of its evolution from its founding as a high school to its present standing, and outlined what his policy would be. Chucellor Snow was applauded long and enthusiastically. Governor Humphrey was then introduced and made a few remarks. His words were earnest and instructive. He thought that those who had put a provision for an institution of this kind in the constitution, drawn up as it was in a time of blood deserved a monument, and indeed they have a moment in these buildings upon Mt. Oread. It was a bright thought from the dusk of the coming war. He was in full sympathy with the University and did not think that the education given to the father was good enough for the son or daughter. He said he could only judge the work of the University by the kind of citizens it sent out. He had met them in his official duty and had not found them wanting. He felt the power of the University in the state, and knew that it was rapidly increasing each year. Gov. Humphrey raised a laugh by stating that he had made his peace with the Alumni by appointing a goodly number to important positions. One thing he had noticed was that every time he met one of the Alumni, a good word was put in for K. S. U. Enthusiasm seemed to be catching on Mt. Oread. Mr. Humphrey noticed just here that it was after twelve o'clock and stating that he would not detain the audience longer from the place of their thoughts, closed, giving his best personal and official wishes to the University. Prof Snow's response to the inauguration is published in full in Wednesday's Journal-Tribune. As we lack space we are obliged to crowd it out of this issue. Law Alumni Association. The Law School Alumni made a good start in permanent organization Tuesday. The meeting was held in Sigma Nu hall at 3 o'clock with large attendance. John Sullivan of Kansas City was chosen temporary chairman, R, S. Horton of Lawrence secretary. A constitution and by-laws was adopted and all present enrolled as members of the "Kansas State University Law School Alumni Association." Poehler was chosen president, Bruno Hobs vice-president, R. S. Horton secretary; Messrs, Harrington, Sullivan and Palmer members of the executive committee. The executive committee was instructed to compile an alumni catalogue and have it printed and distributed A committee was appointed to look after the wants of the school before the board of regents. Speeches were made by Bradley, Gilmore, Blair, Hobbs, Sears, Harrington, Palmer, Mitchell, Jacobs, Fidler and others, closing with an address by Dean J. W. Green which was cheered to the echo. Commencement Day. A unanimous vote of thanks was extended the Sigma Nu fraternity for use of hall. The reunion of the class of '81 was held at the residence of Mrs. Alice (Peabody) Sears, Wednesday afteruoon. An elegant lunch was spread. Letters from absent ones were read, etc. A Short Account of the Speech of Each, Orator. The day was propitious and an especially large crowd had assembled in the University chapel on Thursday June, 12, at 10 o'clock A. M. to listen to the honored ones of the class of '90. After the invocation and music by Bells band, the orators of the class of '90 delivered their orations. Mr. Mushrush in his oration on "The Ethics of Epicurus," said:—"A national philosophy is the reflected image of a nation's thought Disregard it and the full meaning of the historic page will be lost. The different systems of philosophy in the past have been an expression of a certain stage of civilization. In each there has been something to commend. But of all these systems none has been so misunderstood as has Epicureanism. It has been condemded as sensual and brutish, its philosophy as degrading to the individual and dangerous to society. Christianity and barbarism with misdirected zeal united in opposing the Epicurean protest against superstition and in favor of freedom of thought. For, while Epicurus held pleasure to be the supreme good, he made it that pleasure, high above all others, which produces happiness and contentment of the noblest faculty of man, that life is happiest which enjoys most and suffers most, that life is best which has been in accordance with reason and judgment; a life in which intelligent bodily pleasures have aided in securing the more lasting and more exalted pleasures of the soul. Freedom of thought and action, unfettered by superstition, was demanded. And it is to this freedom that our marvelous advance in civilization has been due. Let this freedom be but the harbinger of that nobler freedom of the soul, where man's existence may be rounded ont by a life crowned with happiness and a mind filled with contentment. And with the revolving cycles of time may we not see the perfected ideal of Epicureanism." - * * "The elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up with them." Mr. Mushrush has han an extended experience on the rostrum and is perfectly at his case. His style is somewhat of the florid and rotund style of delivery but he was entirely in earnest and held the undivided attention of his large audience. Mr. Pickering in his oration treated upon some phases of the railway problem began with a short historical sketch of the locomotive and of the railroad, traced them through the various stages of their development and compared the monopoly of the railroad with other monopolies. The effects of legislation upon the railroad problem were touched upon and it was shown that laws which would apply to other monopolis would not apply to the railroad. The bad results of the competition of railroads were illustrated and the tendency of separate roads to combine into great systems was shown. The Government control of the railroads was discussed and the conclusion drawn that the Government ownership of the railroads was not for the best interests of the country. Miss Goodell took for the subject of her commencement oration, "The Intellectual Development of Women" and treated it in an elaborate manner though not in an entirely new phase. In these days when the woman is becoming more than ever the equal of man and the finger of progress points forward to the entire extinction of many of the sex distinctions it is pleasant to meet with one, who instead of looking wholly upon the dark side of womans life, gazes upon the bright side and glimpse into the future and reveals to woman a far wider field than that which they have yet reached. Miss Goodell does not side with some of the rank raging woman sufferance fanatics who affirm that it is because of man that they are held in check and not allowed full scope to their abilities. On the contrary she believes that the march from the depths of barbarism superstition has been continually going forward and that it has at no time previous has it made such strides as at present. The intellectual development of woman is a means and a measure of the intellectual development of her co-worker, man, and of all mankind. Miss Goodell showed that each and every woman who graduated from a college could and should be a factor in this great onward march of all mankind to a higher plane of intellectual culture. Miss Howland had for the subject of her oration, "What should be the highest purpose in Fiction?" Miss Howland showed quite a remarkable depth of thought in her handling of the subject, and quite justly scored the so-called realistic novelists of the period. She said that the recent novelists like Howells, Zola and Balzac, in France, and scores of the minor authors of this country and of England, have departed quite widely from the school to which Scott, Thackery, Dickens and Hawthorne belong, who view from an entirely different standpoint than these later-day novelists who with pessimistic croakings bring up to view the whole category of crimes and vices. Miss Howland is not in sympathy with the authors who detect a selfish motive for every human action. She says: "Let us ask the first person we meet, of whatever station of life, whether he finds more sorrow than pleasure in the world, and whether he would wish to be entirely released from this painful necessity of living. Can we not be almost certain of his answer? The men whom we met yesterday did not seem like those going to commit bloody deeds, was the woman like those bent on some malicious intrigue. Is it then fair and just to mankind, for the author who parades his conscientiousness, and professes to describe things as they are, to compel us to live among thieves and in prisons; to make so conspicuous the ignoble side of human life, and insist that we are truly represented by hypocris and outlaws of the race?" In comparison to theseboding evil birds of prophecy she brought up George Sand as an instance of one who presents to our view an ideal, a goal to be reached, who gives us a sight of what we may become. In closing, Miss Howland said: "That is the noblest literature, which, while it recognizes this infirmities and wickedness of men, does not dwell upon them to the exclusion of those common virtues which beautify and dignify life. The orations of the four favored ones were masterly efforts and each treated their subject in an exhaustive style. Scott Hopkins of the class of '81 delivered an able oration Prof. (Chancellor) Snow then stepped forward and gave the class of '90 an address. The past week has been of especial interest because of the interest it seems to have awakened in the people of Kansas. Fred Kaiser a last year graduate iu Pharmacy, is up from Ottawa. After Prof Snow's address 25 Seniors, 25 Laws and 7 Pharmacys received diplomas and were turned out upon the world. Ed. Morris, an '80 graduate of Pharmacy, is here from Emporia. T. N. Curry, from Manchester, called on his son, John, Wednesday. L. W. Snepp, is up from Olathe. He is one of last years' Pharmics. R. L. Netherton, of Eureka, Kansas is visiting his Alma Mater. A. E. Tapping, of the pharmacy Class '88, came up to see the boys graduate. W. C. Albace is visiting with his University friends. W. P. Brown is attending commencement. J. T.

Tuesday morning was bright and pleasant and a large concourse of friends and relatives of the graduating class, and many city people gathered in the university hall to hear the exercises. The Law boys always have a good program, consequently the audience was a good one. At 10:30 o'clock the band struck up a march which was a signal that the class was coming, and as the Law class of '90, 27 strong, headed by Dr. Marvin, Judge Benson, Dr. Summerfield, C. S. Gleed, W. C. Spangler and Prof. Green, marched upon the platform, a thrill of admiration ran through the audience. It was the largest law class that has ever graduated from the university, and as they marched to the platform to take part in the final exercises of their course, they presented a splendid appearance, and the thought came, of what a power for good those fine looking, brainy fellows might be in the country. After a fervent prayer by Dr. Marvin the band rendered a splendid Overture, Turner's Motto; it was as fine a thing as it has ever been our pleasure to hear. Following this came an oration by E. L. Ackly, in which he answered the question "Can a lawyer be successful and be honest?" It is quite unnecessary to give an account of Mr. Ackley's oration to university students, for he assumed this question in just the same manner that he has assumed many another in the societies of the university. He was perfectly at home and answered his question very satisfactorily in ten minutes. He spoke distinctly and rapidly and his delivery was good. The Thesis, by J. T Flannelly, on "Coverture," was well thought out, well written and well delivered to his audience. His appearance upon the platform was pleasing, and his accents could be easily understood over the entire chapel. His manner was rather impressive. After another selection by the band, Mr. R. W. Houk defined to his audience "Two Products of American Life." Mr Houk had a carefully prepared production, but he delivered it in a conversational style and tone of voice, so that it was not appreciated as it otherwise would have been. He was not so much at ease as the other speakers. The next was a Thesis by A. L. Wilmoth, entitled "A Packee Supreme Court." Mr. Wilmoth had the advantage of being the best looking man on the platform. Besides this he had a theeis which evidently took a great amount of carefulstudy to write. He handled the subject in a masterly manner indeed. Mr. Wilmoth has a good voice and knows how to use it. After some more music Mr. T. D. Leib gave an oration on "Natural Law a model for Human Law." Mr. Leib's oration was earnest and to the point, but he was put at a disadvantage by having a very weak voice and not an excellent delivery. The production was studiously well prepared. Mr L C. Poehler, the last on the program, had chosen for his oration "Marriage Contracts," and from the way he talked of them he seemed to have some practical understanding on the subject, Mr. Poehler was the most eloquent speaker of the day. He talked with vigor and was easily followed His speech contained several pithy points. The program closed by Prof. Bell's 20th Century March. Prof. Green was president of the day and presided with his usual dignity. The Alumni Banquet was given at the Eldridge House after the university orations Tuesday night --who had interrupted them in the planting and afterward coated the tree with green paint. He stated that the Juniors had been well watered and that the green on the tree probably came from their having rubbed against it. Class-Day EzerciSes The chapel was filled Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock when the exercises of class-day began with music by the First regiment band Miss Emma G. Dunn presided and after prayer by Dr. Marvin, first introduced Miss Laura Lockwood, who delivered the Junior oration, entitled "Uiiversity Life." She began by comparing the old scholastic education of Old and New England with the modern methods of study and educational work. She traced the growth of the State schools, which has been slow but steady. The speaker advocated an American university in which should be incorporated the best features of the universities of Germany and France. America is deciding the question of universities, she said, and here if anywhere should be found the ideal institution of learning. Ths speaker's delivery was clear and forcible and she was not at all timid. Mr. A. L. Burney of the Senior class was next introduced and delivered a well written oration on "Conscience in Politics." He began by comparing the popular hero with the martyr for opinion—Alexander with Socrates. In these days, the speaker said, statesmanship has degenerated. The politicians are the heroes of today. A statesman recently said that the purification of politics is an iridescet dream. The real heroes are seldom the popular ones. Moral principles always triumph. Mr. Burney has an easy delivery and his discourse was marred only once or twice by pauses due to forgetfulness. The class prophecy by E. E. Slosson was in the form of a metrical composition. It was humorous and the class did laugh as well as the audience. The class song was a pretty medley, with words appropriate to life and events in the K. S. U. After the exercises, the audience repaired to the campus, and the first thing there done was the salutation of the college buildings by the Seniors and Juniors. Led by Bell's band, the circuit of the buildings was made and in front of each the college yell was given. In front of the main building, Chancellor Snow made a few remarks to the class in which were embraced reminiscences of his own class at Williams College and advice to this class to keep alive the class spirit during all the years to come. The class then gathered about a newly planted tree and Wm. Hill made appropriate remarks and incidentally scored the Juniors The last thing was the smoking of the pipe of peace in front of the main building by regents, chancellor, faculty and Seniors. Pipes and tobacco were distributed and, seated on the green sward, songs were sung and jokes cracked. Thus ended the class-day exercises at K. S. U., which in many ways bore the impress of originality in their departure from old-time customs and traditions.

American History. — Instruction is given daily for two years in American History. The course has been prepared with especial care with the thought that a thorough knowledge of the origin and development of the Nation is one of the most essential conditions of good citizenship. Marked attention is given to social life and institutional and industrial development. To the financial experiments of the general government, and to diplomatic relations; to the failure of the confederation, the struggle for the constitution, and to the text of the constitution itself; and to the constitutional and political history of the Union from 1879 to the present. For this the library now offers special facilities, in a complete Congressional Record, from the first Continental Congress to the present. FOR Ladies and Gents, Gold and silver Heads. Constitutional Law.----Lectures three times each week during the second term on the constitution of the United States; with brief sketches of the institutions and events that preceded its adoption, and with special attention to the sources and methods of its inter, pretation.

Public Finance and Banking: Lectures twice each week during the first term on National, State and municipal financiering; and on theoretical and practical banking, with the details of bank management. The following statement covers the work of the last two years of the University course, and is made in answer to many inquiries received by the instructor in charge of these topics: Instruction in American History and Civics is given by means of lectures, recitations, discussions, conference, and personal direction in study and research Special pains are taken to facilitate the use of the University library by students taking these topics; authorities closely connected with the work in hand being withheld from general circulation and rendered more available by carefully prepared card indexes. Department of Law. Local Administration and Law. Lectures three times each week during the first term, covering the management of public affairs in districts, townships, counties, and cities and states.

There is no longer any doubt in the minds of those best qualified to judge, that the law school is the proper place to begin the study of the law. Twenty years ago when every lawyer considered it a part of his business to give instructions to students serving apprenticeship in his office, the matter wore a different aspect. But the bad economy of the old plan came gradually to be recognized. Law schools grew in efficiency and in favor, and lawyers adapted themselves to the new order of things, so that to-day there is perfect unanimity of opinion in legal circles. The law school is by far the most economical means to a sound legal education. The Department of Law was established in the State University of Kansas in the fall of 1878. The design was to furnish a complete line of legal instruction for persons intending to practice at the bar in any state in the union. The aim in text book instruction is the thorough training of the student in legal modes of thought, and the thorough cultivation of a clear knowledge of the leading principles of law, leaving minor details for later years. Definiteness and exactness of knowledge is considered of the first importance. In addition to their law studies, the students of this department may have access, without charge, to the library of the University, and on consent of the Faculty, may have the privilege of recitations in the Department of Science, Literature and Arts. The complete course includes two annual terms, each of which occupies eight and one-half months, (including two weeks recess at Christmas.) The first term for the year 1890-1, will begin on Wednesday, the 17th day of September, 1890. All persons purposing to enter upon the study of law are earnestly recommended first to take a course of liberal studies. Applicants for the degree of LL. D. must, in every case, have been admitted as members of the senior class at the beginning of the senior term, and must also have attended the senior recitations during the entire term. Moot courts are held every week during the term by one of the Faculty, at each of which a case previously assigned is taken up for practice in the conduct of causes, and in the discussion of legal principles. A Kent Club has been formed by the students, in which dissertations are read and cases argued. The department was never in so promising a condition as now. The classes for next year will be larger than ever before if the present indications are verified. PATENTS.

Sears, of the University Courier, has completed his work at the University and has returned to his home in Ohio. Mr. Sears' connection with the Courier has given that paper a decidedly bright and 'newsy appearance, and the absence of his clever writings will be noticed by its readers. —Journal-Tribune. J. N. Scott was down from Topeka Monday night. The music for the commencement exercises is furnished by Prof. Bell and his band, and the music has been of a high order of excellency. Occasionally a selection of Prof. Bell's own composing is used. H. F. Roberts, returned to his home in Manhattan last Monday, but had scarcely arrived before he was summoned back to superintend the last agonies of his fostered charge——the KANSAN. The Junior Pharmics were mistaken last Monday for the Seniors. How insulted the Juniors did appear. The display of the Art department in the old law room is simply magnificent.

What this means for students in German may be informed from the fact that this addition is nearly equal to the whole number of books hith rto on the shelves. Among the acquisiti us are: Herrig's Archiv, Complete Set, of eighty thré volume; one of the oldest and most valuable literary journals for modern language. Germania - Complete Set, of thirty five volumes; dealing with Germ n antiquities. Julien Schmidt. God+ka. Robert's end Gothschall. Mengel, Histories of German Literature or of special periods.

Vorgel, Wael德, etc. — Deutsche Dichtungen des Mittelalters, Ulandt's Dichtung und Lage, 8 vols Freyhings Bilder aus der Dichtchen. Sehr Ahnen. Auerbach works, etc. The work of the department has been very heavy, as may be seen by a comparison of the following. FIRST LESSON.

One hundred & ninety three in 5 classes. In addition to the above there were given, for entrance and advanced standing, sixty-eight examinations out of class, making a total of four hundred and thirty-one examinations given by the depart ment. This is not the place to go over in detail the work done, but a few words will help to understand it. Eighty beginners studied Olsa's Grammar; forty five sub-freshmen finished Rosenengel's Reader, Hoffman's Historische Erzehlungen, Der Zerbrochene Kräfte, and Der Bordeschneider. Much of composition works. This is preparatory to the Freshman class. Thirty-five Freshmen completed Helmes Reelsebiler and Wm. Tell, receiving a number of lectures on the historical basis of legend, and the literature of the subject Thirty Sophomores completed Tasso, Iphigenite, part of Hart's Goethe's Prosa and Nathan the Dewel, with lectures on Goethe and Lessing. Six Sophomores translated Howell's Garroters into German. Six Juniors and Seniors read carefully Hauff' Lichtenstein, Schell-Waekehard, Prass' Gustav, Ekehard, bourge, Kenzkafahrer, with much reading and lectures on the novel, and the German Historical Novel in particular, completing their work with a 10,000 word thesis on this subject. For the coming year the work of Freshman and Sophomore classes will be varied somewhat, though still upon the closus of the 18th century. The work for aadvanced classes will be a full year's work in Middle High German, history, history of literature, grammar, and reading. The class will read the Nibelungenlied, Iwein, Walther von dor Vogelwale, and perhaps more. In addition to this there is offered a course in Gothic, and one in Luther's Prose. Advanced students who have not advanced any elect. Sophomore Genus as an optional. The department is still much hampere for lack of books, and prays in chorus with all the other literary departments of the university for more extended library facilities. The of the advances already decreed is an assistant who shall give his whole time to the work in German. A grace at the class figures show how much this is needed. Mr. Max Winkler, whose time was divided between French and German, and who brought to his work a fine earnestness and drama in enthusiasm, goes to Ana Arbor, whore he will have the good wishes of friends here.

ASSISTANTS: W. C. STEVENS, GEHRUDECROTTY, V. L. KELLOGG, E. P. WEST, E. D EAMRS. This department was given into the hands of Prof. Snow in 1866. Since that time the number of assistants has increased as shown above. It is the aim of this department to lead the student to habits of independent observation. Wherever possible the work in the lecture room is supply nented by work in the laboratory and in the field. According to the catalogue of 1889-40 this department has fourteen optional options. These may be grouped into a course in Zoology, a course in Botany, a course in Geology and a course in Meteorology. The course in Zoology begins with one-half term devoted to recitation and lectures on the comparative structure and the distribution and evolution of animals. This is followed by one-half term in the laboratory, where the students work in the animal cases or in the study of simple invertebrate forms, according to choice. Those who wish to go further in this line of investigation, have offered to them the following studies: Entomology, in which special attention is given to the determination of beneficial and injurious species; Human Osteology, and Comparative Osteology, consisting of animal anatomy and dissection in the laboratory of some mammalian types; Animal Histology. In this study each student is supplied with a compound microscope and is taught to demonstrate for himself the microscopic structure of animal tissues; Vertebrate Anatomy, dissection in the laboratory of various vertebrate types; Invertebrate Anatomy, dissection in the laboratory of compound microscopes; Human Physiology, recitations and lectures; Experimental Physiology in which the student verifies some of the most important physiological facts. The course in Botany is begun with one-half term devoted to the elements of botany, and the collecting, classifying and mounting of plants. Following this the following studies are offered: Systematic Botany, analysis and classification of plants and a special study of the characteristics of families and genera; Structural Botany, analysis and classification of well equipped with compound microscopes and accessories. Each student is supplied with a microscope for his own use and is given instructions in the care and adjustment of the microscope, the cutting and mounting of sections, the measurement of microscopic objects and the use of reagents. These courses consciously worked out, give the student a clear knowledge of the fundamental aspects of plant kingdom, and prepare him for further independent hybridization. The course in Meteorology consists in recitations and lectures, together with a systematic study of daily weather maps, weather instruments in use at the university. The course in Geology consists in recta tions and lectures, amply illustrated by the specimens in the geological museum. The cabinets are accessible to the students at all times. The geological collections consist of more than 50,000 specimens illustrative of the different minerals and typical fossil remains of all the geological formations. The Zoological collection embraces an excellent set of marine types, and a collection of mounted birds and mammals which are unsurpassed in workmanship and design. The Geological collection contains over 10,000 species of insects, classified and named and in perfect state of preservation. The herbarium contains over 4000 species of plants systematically arranged and easily accessible. During the past year the collection of mammals has been richly increased by a group of Rocky Mountain Goats and one of Rockey Mountain Lions. Prof. Dyche has made a careful study of these animals in their native haunts, and has mounted them in form and posture marvellously lifelike. The fossil Saurian remains cleaned and mounted this year by Judge West, are said by competent authority to be the best in the world DEPARTMENT OF GREEK PROF. WILCOX AND STERLING. All courses are accompanied by lectures on the authors and their works, or by private reading and special studies on particular topics brought out in the course of the work. All courses, too, are illustrated and enlivened by the numerous objects on exhibition in the Classical Museum. Classical Museu. The object of the Classical Museum is to illustrate and enliven the study of the Greek and Latin Classics. By the collection there exhibited the literary side of the classics is made more intelligible and effective and the instruction in philology and literature is supplemented by instruction in the art and life of the Greek and Roman people. In this way these ancient people are seen on more sides, and are brought nearer and are made more real to the students. Relief maps of Athens and Rome enable the student to tread the soil trodden by Clecero and Socrates, a model of the Acropolis with plans and restorations bring him face to face with the great temples and religious life of the Greeks, which are made clearer by casts of pediment sculptures, metopes and Parthenon, a monastery on the East Pediment. Parthenon, a monastery of Zeus at Olympia, and colored plates of different sides and architectural members of temples. The magnificent Augustus in military dress makes one feel the sovereign rule of the Romans. The beautiful Venus of Milo teaches us how pure as well as lovely was the ideal woman and goddess of the 4th century, B. C. The naturalistic tendency of ancient art is seen in the eager, weary face and elaborate anatomy of the Borghese Warrior. The story of Orpheus is explained There is also a course in Greek Archarchology and Art, open as an optional to all students of the University. This course is also extended into a comparative study, and given as an optional in the History, Art, and Literature courses, ultimately by courses in Sanskrit and Linguistics are given as introductions to comparative Philology. The study of Greek is not a luxury on classical students. It is open now to all students of the University. Classical students alone can make a thorough study of' the language and literature, giving to it two years before entering the University and four years in the University. Students devoting to its study from a half year to four years according to their wish or the opportunities of the general course they are taking. Students who take the General Language course may begin Greek in the Freshman year and continue it for two, three, or four years; or they may begin it in their Sophomore year and then continue it for four years as they wish. Students who take the General Language course and do not take Greek in the Freshman or Sophomore years, and those in the General Scientific, Latin Scientific, Modern Literature, and other English courses, may take Greek through the Junior and Senior years, or in the Junior or Senior years, getting one or two years of such training to get sufficient training to read ordinary easy Greek, and will read in class a great deal of Mythology, considerable Plato, and some Homer. In one year they will read some Mythology some Plato and learn to read the New Testament. All these students will get also an almost complete knowledge of the Greek words in our ordinary language. If they wish, take only the Greek in the English course, covering one term only. by one relief, and a Bacchic procession brought before ones eyes by another. A line of busts of Roman emperors is completed by several busts of Romon and Greek authors. A large number of colored plates show the beautiful forms and decorations of Greek vases, and others still, Roman and Greek Architectural orders. The latest excavations are also illustrated by photographs, as are also almost all important sites in Greece and Italy. A large number of illustrative books supplement the Classical Museum in Greek and Latin study. Used as Brooms upon the Diamond. The K. S. U. B.

The Indians scaled them that's all, and are now carrying the gory locks of the erstwhile champions of K. S. U., in their belts. The agony is over and the club is now no more. Its epitaph is, "tommahawked by Injuns." Mackey, the "Phenom," was in the box for the Noble Reds, and pitched a pretty game. He was hit quite freely but received fair support from the field. Smith and Davis occupied the points for K. S. U. Early in the game Davis received quite a severe injury to his arm and was compelled to quit playing. Prof. Cunnel took his place and Swank was seen running. As that boy will see Smith was too speedy for Swank to hold. The straw to which some of the B. C. brank cling is that if Davis hadn't got hurt, the boys might have won. We cant say as to that, Mackey's a queer man. The Los were driven up town after the game and in the hands of each aborigine was a broom symbol of the work they had engaged in.

It would be of much benefit for the students it seems to us if there could be courses in the history of literature, the history of religion, the history of science, the history of art. We do not mean from a technical or professional standpoint, but merely an overview of its most important literature' the nearest approach to any thing of the kind we have, there are outlines in each national literature represented in the University, but a birds-eye view of the world's literature is lacking? In the line of art this lack is now to be supplied. The course in Greek Art here-tore conducted by Prof. Wilcox is to be extended into just what we want—a general history of art, and it will be a regular required subject in the new General Language Course. It will also be open to selection as an optional by students in other courses provided there is room Such a study as this, with the considerable investment required, in large University, cannot fall to be of great value, and to attract large numbers students. By the way, we cannot see why the new course called General Language, should not be called General Literary or merely Literary, for that seems to be the character of it—affording the broadest possible range of languages. This can be to get a fair knowledge of all five of the languages and literatures taught in the University. SCHOOL OF PHARMACY. PROF. L. E. SAYRE, DEAN. GEO T. WEIDA, ASSISTANT. The School of Pharmacy is prepared to offer better facilities for the coming year than ever before. A course in Pharmacy no longer means the mere memorizing of a series of scientific facts, but a systematic course of scientific instruction, under proper supervision, by means of lectures, recitations, and laboratory work. The School of Pharmacy has a great advantage in being an integral part of the University, as strictly university methods are applied to the teaching of pharmacy and the allied sciences. Every student of pharmacy is a member of the University, and he has the advantages which accrue from the associations of a university. The student in this school has access to five distinct and well arranged laboratories. These are: The Pharmaceutical laboratory, the two Chemical laboratories (for qualitative and quantitative analysis), Microscopic laboratory, and Physical laboratory. If the student desires, and has the time, he has the privilege of other laboratories, not mentioned, for other lines of study. For example, assaying, mineralogy, etc. He also has access to the collections in Natural History, Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Pharmacy. He has the advantage of an extensive library, such rs is not found ordinarily, and such as can be furnished only by universities having extensive facilities In all parts of our country the efforts of the scientific men are needed, and no class of men is more favorably placed than the pharmacists for securing a portion of this work, especially in the lines of analytical chemistry. In communities where the amount of analytical work is insufficient to call for the presence of a professional chemist, the trained pharmacist will find opportunities to increase hes income, his influence and his usefulness. The course in the school of pharmacy provides chemical training that will enable the student to serve the medical profession and the community in analytical work. DRUG-STORE EXPERIENCE. Drug-store experience is essential to success in the pursuit of pharmacy, and cognizance of this fact is taken in the requirements for graduation from this school. While the training obtained in the drug store can be acquired nowhere else, it is impracticable to carry on such work while the student is at college. The custom of having a business occupation while attending lectures is not only detrimental to mental culture, but is also physically overtaxing. Such work limits too greatly the time for study, and frequently prevents the student from giving a faithful and prompt attendance upon the instruction of the class-room and the laboratory. It is argued by some that the actual experience gained in a drug store is a sufficient compensation for the consequent deficiencies in college work, the unwarranted assumption being that the student receives plenty of practice and manual training by such an arrangement. The conclusion that drug-store experience and the work of the pharmaceutical laboratory of the school are similar, and that one can be substituted for the other, is an unwarranted one, for the following reasons: In the former the attention in the way of special instruction is necessarily limited to the leisure of the one in charge, whose superintendence is also demanded in other directions; while in the latter the sole aim is to impart instruction, and nothing but the work of instruction presses on those in charge. The scope of the former is limited to the peculiar situation and circumstances of that one store, and it can therefore at best give only a limited range of manual training; while the aim of the latter is to familiarize the student with all operations met with in any store, and therefore the manual training is not circumscribed by narrow limits. Mr. Weida is now pursuing his studies abroad, but a new assistant for this department will be elected by the Board of Regents very soon. There are applications on file from a number of graduates from our own and other colleges, including some for Ann Arbor, Michigan. Boys if you want any thing during vacation, write to Abe Levy and he will attend to it for you. CHRIS EPLEY, Lunch Counter and Restaurant. THE R. N. HERSHFIELD JEWELRY CO.
