What is there so infectious about politics? As soon as a boy reaches the neck-tie age he commences to start a reform in politics and tries to teach a man of three score years that he belongs to the wrong party. The precocity of youth is seen every day in our halls when the Sub Fresh expounds sound political doctrine to his class mate.

The reception room has been made attractive, new furnishings, music, a fine private library, and all in all we invite your inspection of the most attractive and best appointed studio in eastern Kansas. Our work for the coming year will excell our former efforts and we predict will again merit a fair share of the student's patronage. Call and inspect work. You will meet with a pleasant reception, courteous attention and when you want work, remember we will make you photos unexcelled in any point of artistic excellence. Geo.R. Shane, Artistic Photographic Studio, 615 Mass. St. Lawrence, Kan.
Our New Professors.
PROF. GEO. B. PENNY.
Again the Courier takes pleasure in introducing to its readers our new Professors and Assistants. Each year sees some able additions to our already excellent faculty.
Dean of the Music School, comes to the University after two years work in the Kansas Normal School. Prof. Penny is a native of New York city and a graduate of Cornell University, class '85.

PROF. H. B. NEWSON.
MR. A.G.MAYER.

He traveled much while in Europe, visiting most of the places of interest on the continent.
the assistant in physics, is from Maplewood, N. J., educated in Stevens Institute of Technology, and afterwards taught in the same Institution. He spent last year at Clark University. He is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.
MR. S. A. BOYCE,
who takes the place of assistant in Pharmacy, is from Michigan, and a graduate of the University of that state. The school of Pharmacy is to be congratulated on securing so able an addition to its faculty.
MISS HANNAH OLIVER,

TO NEW STUDENTS.
No doubt you have by this time heard of college fraternities and have become acquainted with all the technical terms pertaining there-to, such as "pledged," "rushed,' "frat," "barb." etc. If you are naturally blessed with good looks and a pocket full of the necessary where-with, your company will be much sought after, and your life will be a continual round of pleasure or just the reverse, according to your own disposition. This will last for a few weeks or perhaps a few days, and then you will probably be asked to "join us." But my dear new student, don't think that "papas' gilt" and your good looks are all that is essential to being rushed up to the sticking point; if you don't possess intellectual worth you will be left in the cold, that is you are in the cold from some people's point of view. But on the contrary if you do not possess the wealth of the man who hit the Louisiana or the good looks of A. L. Burney, your little victory will come when you show by your recitations that you are "pretty smart" and a good fellow. Now our advice to you is to hold off, don't be in a hurry about joining a fraternity. It is a decisive move. Like matrimony it is a move that will effect your after life and will most decidedly have something to do with your collegiate career. When you are asked to join, don't be bluffed off by fear of the goat, and don't grab at straws like a drowning man, but look the ground over and ask yourself if you can be congenial with the boys that compose this particular fraternity and whether it is to your interest to be a fraternity man. Some of the brightest men who have been graduated from this institution were not fraternity men. The writer is a fraternity man of a very loyal stripe, and when he talks to you he will no doubt try to make you believe that his is the only fraternity in town. He will also tell you candidly that he has blessed his lucky stars since that he was not in a hurry to join anything, the University included. You will notice that the different fraternities are characterized by the make-up and disposition of their members. Some claim that the fraternity makes the man but we contend that the men make the fraternity. The fraternity may give the man social polish and a certain amount of that commodity some people call gall backed by the knowledge that he is one of the unit. But there are certain traits of character in the make-up of every individual that no power on earth can change, and it is just these strong points that make the ground work of a fraternity. If you see that you are not constituted like the members of a certain set, drop them as you would a hot brick, nothing but harm would come from a union with them. We have done our little do and we will leave you to the tender mercies of the rusher, who is not such a bad fellow after all.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Now that the school year is fully under way, it is well that the attention of the students be called to the literary societies.
For several years the literary work done by the societies in the University has not been what it should be.
Scramble for office, blackbtalling combinations to control the programme jealousies among the members, have all been detrimental to the work of the societies.
It is a well known fact that other colleges in the state are calling attention to our lack of training in this respect and are using this knowledge to the injury of the University and to the upbuilding of their respective schools.
Although we have quite a number of societies in the University which have been doing excellent work in special lines, none of them cover the work of a purely literary society.
While we have as good talent here as any school in the west yet we can not hope to compete with other colleges unless we train the students as well as they do.
The literary society is of vital interest to the University
Let every student who has any literary taste join a society, not for plunder but for work, not to be a wire puller or a voter, but a faithful and energetic worker.
VACATION has come and gone and the halls of K. S. U. are again filled with students anxious for the years work to begin. Many new students will enter the University this year. We cordially welcome them, and are sure that if they give the University a fair trial they will be more than satisfied with the years work when vacation time again rolls around. Few drones ever get into K. S. U. Once in a while one comes, but he soon finds the company not congenial and quickly takes his departure. To the new students we will say that unless you come with a determination to work—work with a vim—it would be better that you stay at home. But if you come among us with a desire to do yourself justice and be an honor to the University you will find the hours spent here among the most pleasant in your life. You will gain staunch friends and "win golden opinions from all sorts of people" and attain the full stature as a man. Is not the prize worth the effort?
If you are a live student we welcome you to K. S. U. the greatest educational institution west of the Missouri river. That is, you must be possessed of enough push and energy to make K. S. U. proud of you and not go around with a look on your face as if you had just written an apology for your life and it had not been accepted. It takes live students to make a live college. It should be the aim of every student to make the college which he attends famous for bright, active students. If you are dead on your feet, we also welcome you as the
invigorating air surrounding K. S. U. may revive you and bring you to your senses in time to pass your examinations which will come with the regularity of taxes. It as is seldom the case, you remain passive to all the good influences which will surround you, the Senior class may take pity on you and use you for a class tree if you happen to escape the dangers of Arbor Day.
We notice that the custom of not returning to college until a week or two after the term begins is still growing in the University. This term has been worse in this regard, than any previous one. Such a habit, for it is nothing less, can not but be injurious to both the students and the University. During the first week all conflicts in recitations are supposed to be arranged and the regular work well begun; but if the students prolong their vacation the work of the second week is seriously interfered with. Those who have to work their way through college have some excuse for delay, but these form but a small per cent of those to whom we refer.
Call and see the new Bell Guitar at Fluke & Son's.
Students' Headquarters.
The students have certain places down town to stop and meet their friends and enjoy a half hour's talk. A favorite place is the music store of W. W. Fluke & Son, 729 Mass. St. Here there is always a piano, organ, or some other musical instrument ready for use. "Bob" is always glad to see the boys and girls and make them feel at home. Here is to be found the best selected stock of pianos, organs, banjos, mandolins, guitars, violins and sheet and book music to be found in the city. A large and new stock has been laid in for the fall trade. Remember that this is the students' headquarters, 729 Mass. St.

The First Annual Catalogue of the Dickinson county High School comes to this office. The law establishing county High Schools was devised by Prof. J. H. Canfield, and Dickinson county was the first to take advantage of the law. The school opened at Chapman in Sept. 1889 with Prof. S. M. Coek, 85, in charge; during the first year 137 students were enrolled, and the present year just begun promises to eclipse the one past. Aitchinson county is now preparing to follow the lead of Dickinson by establishing a High School. Every county in the state should have a High School as a connecting link between the district schools and the University.

Sigma Nu Convention.
The fifth general convention of the Sigma Nu Fraternity was held at the Lookout Inn on Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tenn., on the 12-14 of August and was attended by delegates from 17 out of the 21 active chapters in the Fraternity. The report of the Grand Recorder, Grant W. Harrington of the University of Kansas, showed that during the last two years new chapters of the Fraternity had been organized at the University of North Carolina, Tulane University, Yale University and the University of the South and that 293 initiations had been made bringing the total enrollment up to over 1000. The Chapter reports showed that the order was in a flourishing condition and that the outlook for the year 09-91 was most promising.
Nu Chapter was honored by receiving two out of the four Grand officers for the ensuing term of two years Rawson Bennett being elected as Regent and Grant W. Harrington reelected as Grand Recorder. The publication of the Fraternity magazine, the Delta, was also returned to Mr. Harrington.
The next convention will be held in '92 and although the place of meeting was not decided upon but was left to the High Council, there was a general feeling that it ought to come west and that Lawrence would be the place. There has never been a College Fraternity Convention held west of the Mississippi river and the boys of Nu Chapter may well feel proud if the first one is held under their auspices. They should make an effort to bring it here as it will give them an opportunity to show their eastern and southern brethren the fine progress that the University of Kansas is making.

The Annual Rush.
The new student may not at first fully understand why his acquaintance is so eagerly sought for. He is introduced and taken in charge by half a dozen students who seem to be very solicitous about his welfare.
For the new student the term "rush" may not have much significance, but to the student, especially the fraternity man, it is a term full of meaning.
After a few days or weeks their affections for him shows itself by being asked to become a member of a fraternity. If he pledges himself or shows a preference to one of the fraternities, the others who have used all the aids of a coquett, to win him, suddenly discover that he is not the man they want and their effusiveness evaporates as quickly as it came.
There is a tendency and a temptation among fraternity men to misrepresent each other in order to gain good men. It is all right for students to "rush" the new men as much as they please, but to build up a fraternity at the expense of integrity and honor is not becoming a student of the University. Upon the success of the "rush" to gain the new students, something depends upon the life of a fraternity. Many a fraternity has been swamped by failure in this respect. To avert this result students have been hurried into fraternities with the members of which they are not congenial. There is no hurry for students to join a fraternity. The student, who joins a fraternity upon first entering college, chooses his associates for four years. It can readily be seen that it behooves the new man to use care in this respect.
Good organs for rent. W.W.Fluke & Son.
The name of W. H. Sears will probably be presented to the Peoples Convention tomorrow, and also to the democratic convention, which convenes the same day, for office of clerk of the district court of Douglas Co. Mr Sears is well qualified to hold this position of trust. He is a graduate of the law department of the University class 1889 and has been admitted to practice before the bar of the state. For several years he was engaged as private secretary to ex-governor Robinson while the Gov. was superintendent at Haskell Institute. Mr. Sears was raised near Eudora and has been identified with the farmers the most of his life. His being a member of the Grange will make him strong in the country districts. Four years ago he made the race for county superintendent and although he was not elected he ran far ahead of the party ticket.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPT. 19, 1890.
C. E. Street, a "rustling" student of fore, was noting the changes and improvements in the University last Wednesday.
Carl Phillips, a graduate from the pharmacy department of last year, has entered the collegiate department as a special student.
Hervey White will not return to school this year. Having secured through Prof. Snow the position of assistant Geologist in the United States survey in New Mexico,
The Freshman German class is so large that it has been divided into two divisions, Prof. Carruth taking one division at nine o'clock and Mrs. Carruth the other at twelve. Several other changes in the schedule have been made on account of conflicting studies.
If one would witness the magical transforming power of paint, paper and plaster he should visit the old building. The collegians may well envy the students of Law, Music and Art in their new and attractive quarters. A force of men are busy at work grading for a walk between the two University buildings, which when it is finished, will make a very pleasant promenade.
One of the busiest men in the faculty in the past week has been Mr. Kellogg. His services seemed to be in demand everywhere. He is so well acquainted with the University and its work that he always has an assuring answer for every question. His business air and his obliging manners have called forth many expressions of praise and commendation from the students. The addition of Mr. Kellogg to the faculty was certainly a wise one.

A bible class especially for young men and women meets every Monday evening at the United Probsyterian church. This class is conducted by the C. H. Strong and it is quite certain that the class will be both interesting and instructive as Rev. Strong is especially fitted for such work, students will do well to go one evening and see for themselves.
Mr. J. A. Mushrush leaves tomorrow to accept a position on the staff of the Kansrs City Journal. Mr Mushrush will push rapidly to the front in the newspaper work as he has done at K, U.
On Wednesday a notice was posted on the bulletin board to the effect that a purse containing forty-one dollars had been lost, and that the finder would please to leave the same at the office. It appears that the loser is a poor, but earnest and ambitious colored man who was intending to take a preparatory medical course in the University. But his loss, unless he is fortunate enough to regain it, will compel him to abandon the course and perhaps shut him out of the field of great usefulness. Among such a crowd of liberal students, a worthy young man, even though colored, who is earnest and anxious to succeed, ought not to have his prospects blighted on account of a few missing dollars. If one hundred students will donate from twenty-five to fifty cents, the man will be reimbursed. Several have already signified their willingness to assist. Let us help the needy student and he will never forget us.
Things in General.
There are some things that are hard to classify even in this day of scientific knowledge, when every thing must be done according to a prescribed rule. The constant reader soon learns to scan the headlines of a newspaper, and by them he judges whether or not there is anything in the columns demanding his closer attention.
There are many things about the University deserving of notice that it would be hard to classify in a college weekly. The object of this column is to discuss some of these things. One thing deserving the attention of the students of the University just now is the fact that one of the best friends the University ever had is a candidate for governor of our state. No one has ever shown himself a better and truer friend of the University than ex-Gov. Robinson. He stood by the University in its early struggle for existence. He gave of his means to start it, and never since has he flagged in his devotion to the K. S. U. The fact that he is on the Democratic ticket should have nothing to do with the matter. The students show their appreciation of Gov. Robinson's friendship for the University by giving him a hearty endorsement. And should he be elected there would be no uncertain tone in his messages to the legislature concerning our school this winter.
The removal of some of the schools to North Collegeis certainly a step in the right direction. There is certainly no longer the necessity of keeping up the high school appearance by having everything under one roof. We are becoming a University in the fall sense of the word. No longer the professors conduct their recitations according to the plan laid down in books on teaching in county schools. But our faculty is largely composed of professors who lead in the work, but who do not consider it their duty to instruct as the high school teacher does.
The entrance of a lady into the law school marks an important advancement. K. S. U. has always had girls in the collegiate department, but never before has any Kansas lady lawyer received her professional training here. If we are to have women for lawyers and judges they should be educated at our schools, and now as the ice is broken there will probably be many who will follow Mrs. Brown in taking advantage of the K. S. U. law school.
It is said that scarcely any students coming here are able to enter the free department of the music school. And even some of those
having been in the school and expecting to graduate at a certain time find the requirements have been moved ahead so much as to entirely leave them behind. This is certainly improvement with a vengeance.
Adelphic Society.
It might be thought by new students,from the remarks made in the Courier last week, that there are no literary societies in the University. Such is not the case. The Adelphic society was formed early last year and did good work till the close of school. The first program this year will be presented to night and the members of the society will make welcome at this and all succeeding meetings all those who are interested in literary work. There will be ample opportunity for all those who desire to do work of this kind in the University, and we hope that new students will not be deterred by any remarks they may have heard, from at once making personal investigation as to whether literary spirit in the school is dead.
Adelphic Hall is on the third floor, south wing of the new building, where the following program will be given tc-night at 8 o'clock.

We hope in the near future to run an exchange column.
The hard times so much talked of by pessimists does not seem to diminish the attendance at K. S.U.
THE Military Department of Wooster College has been discontinued. The venture was a success but the U. S. Government failed to supply an instructor.
We acknowledge the receipt of the Wooster Voice. It is the outcome of the consolidation of the University Voice and Wooster Collegian. The change is for the better.
JOURNALISTIC courtesy does not seem to be one of the virtues of the Journal-Tribune local man. To borrow some of our cuts and steal about two columns of our thunder and then severely criticise our maiden effort from the high pinnacle of journalistic experience upon which he stands makes us murmur with King Lear something about a thankless child.
WHAT provision has the Board of Regents made for the study of elocution? This very important branch of study has been sadly neglected in the University. The lack of training has been fully shown at our oratorical contests. Outside colleges that cannot compare with this institution as to faculty, equipment, buildings, etc carry off the palm in oratory only because they furnish instruction in that branch. Every orator coming from K.S.U. can be considered self-made.
The college newspaper seems to be a distinctive western institution. In the west the student newspaper is modeled after the great dailies. In fact it is a news-paper. When we get east of the Missouri river a very large per cent of college publications are on the literary order with a column or two devoted to local and personal matters. It is our opinion that we have struck the happy medium in K. S. U. Here we have a weekly paper to chronicle the events of the day and a monthly for literary productions. In this way both departments have representation without conflict.
It was clearly demonstrated on last Field Day that athletics in K. S. U. are not what they should be. To have one man take seventy-five per cent of all prizes offered does not speak very well for the athletic ability of the rest of the students. We don't want to let Field Day next year be a repetition of the last. Let every one who can run, jump, ride a bicycle or throw a ball commence to practice and go into winter quarters in good training and when spring comes with all its sports we may look for great things in the athletic line. Our Athletic Association is for promoting interest in athletics in K. S. U. Let every one see that it fully accomplishes its purpose.
ALL papers receiving the COURIER please exchange. We will use the exchange list of last year with a few alterations. Any journal that does not receive the COURIER regularly will confer a favor upon us by reporting the fact as soon as possible.
PERHAPS by the time this paper comes from the press there will have been consummated a great journalistic deal in the University There is no doubt as to the advantages to be gained by the consolidation of the two weekly papers both to the students and merchants. If the two factions can pull together they will make a paper that will be a credit to the state and University. If the deal is not made the patrons of the COURIER can rest assured that they will have the news dished up to them every Friday morning with the same regularity that has characterized the paper of old. It is with pride that we glance over the past and hope for the future.
It might be well for us as students to remind ourselves now that this term will have an end, and that end will bring with it thorough and searching examinations. That we may have no cause for regret in those trying times we should see to it that we lay good foundations for the term's work. Begin right and then keep straight ahead. Many students seem to lose sight of the fact that they will be held to account for the first part of the term's work until examinations are about to begin. Then they put themselves through a cramming process which unfits them for passing creditable examinations. This remark applies especially to fraternity "rushers" who in their zeal to obtain new men overlook or neglect their school work. Not only do they spend their own time, but they encroach upon the study hours of new men. Fraternity men should consider that new students have lessons to learn and should not interfere with their study hours. So let us not risk our success upon the adage that a poor beginning makes a good ending, but upon the one that well begun is half done.
It is customary for our editor when he assumes the control of a paper to outline its future policy, aim, purpose, etc. The COURIER, under the new administration, will be conducted for the best interest of the University as it has under the old. It will reserve the right to criticise any or all movements that do not meet with its approval and to endorse and champion all reforms that are for the up building of the University. Its "Views" column, which was a success last year, will be open to the students of the institution to express their thoughts on subjects pertaining to University life. It is the wish of the editor that the students will embrace this excellent opportunity to give utterance to their thoughts and desires through the columns of the COURIER. A class of reading

HOW THEY MOURNED.
Among the Fij Islands the women are required to burn their bodies on the death of a chief.
In the Sandwich Islands the people go into mourning by knocking out their front teeth and by painting the lower part of the face black.
The Roman mourning period lasted only a few days, but if the death was that of some great ruler or general all business was stopped, and the forum and the schools were closed.
The Hebrew period of mourning was usually seven days, but in some instances, as at the death of Moses and Aaron, it was extended to thirty days. The mourners tore their clothing, cut of their hair and beard, stroved ashes on their heads and cast themselves on the ground, weeping and smiling their breasts.

Sorrow has come to the hearts of many former students and friends of the University with the announcement of the death of one of our graduates. Herbert J. Humphrey,'81, died suddenly of typhoid fever on August 8th, at his home in Hutchinson, Kan. Although he was only twenty-seven years of age, he had already reached an enviable position in the practice of law. He began the study of law immediately after his graduation and in 1885 was elected Prosecuting Attorney of Geary county, which position he held for two terms. In 1889 he was married to Elaenor W. Houk, of Hutchison, to which place he transferred his practice. Here he was cut off, still in the beginning of a career that could not have been less than brilliant if he had lived. He will be remembered by classmates, teachers and associates in professional life for his intellectual strength, industry, independence, manliness and honor in all relations of life. By those more intimate with him he will be mourned as a kind friend and loving brother.

Chautauqua.
"Chautaquna is the most American thing in America," says Professor Hjalmar H. Boyesen.
The Chauantaqua system divides itself into two parts. One is the vast C. L. S. C. the Chauantaqua Literary and Scientific Circle—embracing the world in its classes for home study. The other is the summer school on the lake of that name, where thousands of students go annually, many of them ambitious young teachers who desire to improve themselves during their brief vacation. At the school, or schools rather—for there has gradually grown here an agglomeration of educational nuclei—every branch of learning, art or science has a six weeks' term devoted to it. The lessons are so long, the study so severe, that no more than one or two branches can be taken during a summer, but these few are learned with more thoroughness than one might expect from the conditions.
"Chautauqua," wrote Rudyard Kipping when he visited America three years ago. "is a sort of lawn tennis academy of the arts and sciences."
Every kind of person is found among the students. There are some college presidents and professors, who in their hearts know they are deficient in a given branch of learning. They come here, and with the simple humility of the child sit perhaps among their own students and make up the lack they know of. This is the true spirit of science. Young ministers that are to be find here a preliminary course in theology so thorough that in six weeks' time they are able to do a year's ordinary work at theological school. College students who are ambitions and earnest do the same. But determined study is required, and no fooling can creep in.
Many of these learners, who make finally the best teachers and scholars, are very poor in all but brains and splen did will power. What do they therefore do? They seek places to work in the kitchens or wait on table in some of the many boarding houses, thus earning their living as they go. At Chautaquua the waita quote Latin and the chamberlaids discourse of Browning's poetry. These students that thus pay their way by labor are respected neither more nor less than the rest. Here is the ideal community, the true republic—one spot in America that is as it should be. There is a singular absence alike of display of wealth, of snobbery or toadyism. Would that America had a thousand more such blaces!

Dr. Webb and Jay Gould.
The abrupt manner in which Vice President Webb treated a representative of the Knights of Labor who called as mediator between the company and the men has recalled the fact that all the Webb boys are disposed to be peremptory in business dealings, even with older and stronger men than themselves.
In the very older days of Dr. Seward Webb as a railroad man he attempted a little show of authority with Mr. Jay Gould, which that gentleman treated in his dry, sarcastic way. It seems that W. H. Vanderbilt was just dead when his son-in-law, Dr. Webb, in a business letter, called Mr. Gould rather peremptorily to account, and presented his ultimatum in a matter concerning some exchange of business between the Vanderbilt and Gould roads.
Dr. Webb's idea was to hurry Mr. Gould to a settlement. But Mr. Gould was not to be hurried, or even brought to a consideration of the case, and he wrote a short note to Mr. Webb in which he simply said that his sorrow over the death of Mr. Vanderbilt three or four days before had been so poignant that he was unable to consider any business with his son-in-law at present. It is probable that Mr. Gould has not heard from Dr. Seward Webb since.-Philadelphia Press.

The Adelphic society held their first meeting last Friday night. The attendance was good, quite a number of new students being present. Everybody was enthusiastic and the program was well prepared and promptly carried out. The president, Mr. Riggs, made a very appropriate opening speech in which he set forth the work and object of the society and justified their position in excluding a certain class of students from membership much to the embarrassment of the sole fraternity man present. If the society man follows out the suggestions of Mr. Riggs for this year much effective and profitable work will be accomplished.

That is what Prof. Penny said when eighteen of the best singers in the University met last Friday afternoon to organize a glee club.
Pursuant to a notice eighteen of the boys met last Friday at 5 o'clock in old Orophilian hall and took the first steps toward establishing a University Glee Club. Prof. Penny was present and presented in a happy way the object and purpose of the club.
Prof. Penny has taken hold of this matter with an earnest and a confidence which inspires the students and there is no estimating the good that will be accomplished. The University has always had good musical talent and only needed an enterprising, enthusiastic man like the Professor to call it out.
His first object was to arouse musical enthusiasm by giving new and original interpretations to old songs and by learning attractive new ones. The second object was to give the club a good musical drill and then with sixteen of the best singers, and a like number out of the ladies' glee glub which was organized last Wednesday, together with a mandolin club, make a holiday trip over the state and give concerts at the different towns. This would bring the University before the people and at the same time furnish entertainment. The third object was quite a practical one, namely; to furnish a chapel chorus. This would be an attraction in chapel exercises and increase the attendance. The plan is to divide both the male and female clubs into equal parts and then have these different choruses do chapel service in rotation. Together with all these objects the club was to cultivate social feelings and good fellowship.
After taking the range of voices of those present the professor adjourned the meeting till last Tuesday for permanent organization. The result of the Tuesday meeting was an addition of nine members and the election of the following officers:
President, C. H. Sears; secretary and treasurer, C. P. Chapman: Business manager, G. O. Virtue. A committee consisting of the Professor, D.H. Spencer and D. R. Krehbiel was then designated to draft a constitution and by-laws and to report at the next meeting.
Tuesday evening and the music room in the north building were then decided upon as the regular
time and place of meeting. Both clubs, male and female, are to meet for joint practice in north building this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
Taken all in all the undertaking has a most auspicious beginning and success is sure to follow.

University Lecture Course 1890 and 1891.
George Kennan, Henry George, Lotus Glee Club, Leand T. Powers, F. W. Gunsalus, Imperial Quartette and James Whiteomb Riley. The course is gotten up by University students—endorsed by the faculty—and the Courier—and deserves the patronage of all students who love good lectures. The lecturers are not old worn out wits of the stage, remnants of a by-gone age, but all are in the front rank of the platform stage of to-day. The fact of the popularity of the lecturers is attested by the fact that the Bureau pays over eleven hundred dollars for the seven attractions, averaging over one hundred and fifty dollars each. Notwithstanding this the course tickets have been placed at the low price of $2.50 each. These tickets entitle holders to reserved seats in the parquet, are transferable and make each attraction cost but thirty-five cents and are to be obtained of R. D. Brown, H. S. Hadley, R. R. Whitman and others. Also on sale at Crews' Book Store.

The University News is with us again bright and cherry as ever.
WE DESIRE to apologize for the appearance of the COURIER last week. Being new in the business we did not know the amount of copy it talks to make up the great religious weekly. We hope to profit by our errors.
JOURNALISTIC kleptomania seems to be one of the characteristics of our esteemed contemporary, the Kansan. To put in two hours of valuable time gathering valuable information and then having it republished without credit does not set very well with us.
We acknowledge the receipt of the Midland College Monthly. Midland College is one of Kansas' latest colleges and is without doubt bound to be one of the best sectarian institutions in the state. It has a fair endowment, good buildings, and a good faculty. The attendance is on the increase and the publication of such a journal as the monthly shows the character of the students that are in attendance there.
ON Saturday last Phi Gamma Delta played a game ef ball with Phi Kappa Psi, which resulted in the defeat of the former. This was the first of a series of games that are to be played this year between the different fraternities of the University. Although there has as yet been no organization of a League there is strong talk of one and it is our desire that such an organization should be perfected. Let a meeting be called and see what can be done in this direction.
THE COURIER last year suggested that North College be used as a gymnasium in place of a harbor for rats and owls. The building has been unoccupied for several years and was going to general ruin. This suggestion seemed to wake up the powers that be and they have turned it into a very presentable Law, Music, and Art building, and our little dream of future muscular development has never materialized. When oh when will we have a gymnasium?
We copy the following from the Annex which we think is a move for the better: Strangers introduce new ideas. One of the professors has struck the key-note of the modern and sensible grading system. He believes he can't grade and teach at the same time. Therefore he will mark your standing when time permits; when the day's work is over he intends to post his books. Professor, let us shake hands. Here is a step for all teachers to consider. Instructors, in all departments, did you ever notice how closely the students watch your pencil move after someone has recited? We can tell an 8 from a 9 every time. Does not the watching this act cause a halt in the general attention of the class? This wondering look toward that pencil is a fact. The student knows it. The professor admits it. If not ad-
mitted, why do some audit their marks with a letter instead of a figure? Why do others pile up volumes in front of their grade books? Again, when a grade is known thus it naturally calls forth criticism, sometimes just. often unjust. The present system tends to make grades, instead of discipline and knowledge, the end of our work. One can easily learn the respective merits of the students after hearing a few recitations, then readily ascertain whether they belong to the 8s or 9s. The absence of the grade book will remedy some defects of the class-room. It will remove a peculiar timidity which the instant grading occasions, and the subject in hand will be more thoroughly devoured.
The base ball season has opened with the gloomiest of prospects. With only two of last year's players in school at present we have a very poor start to make a team. There is without doubt some new talent in the University that only needs a chance to be developed. We have here a very large number of medium ball players, but a very small number of good players, in fact there is but one really good player in the nine. Our boys in a practice game make very pretty stops and throws and field flies in good shape but when it comes to facing a good pitcher or fielding for a strong set of batters they are not in it. The game at Haskell Institute last Saturday displayed our weak points in great shape. Had Mackey, the regular Indian pitcher been in the box, there is no doubt in the mind of the writer but that the University club would have been shut out. Now is the time for the A. A. K. S.' U. to get in its work and make a ball nine out of raw material. Our weakest point is in the battery. Last year the work of Davis and Smith was the only thing that saved the University from defeat. But now these two men, the best all-around ball players the University has ever produced, are not in the school and we are consequently very much weakened. Prof. Sterling seems to be the right man in the right place and no doubt he will provide for this emergency.
The Christian Cynosure is making a steady fight against all secret societies. Rev. E.P. Goodwin, of Chicago, gives college fraternities a general going over in this week's paper. To all college reading rooms that request it, the Christian Cynosure of Chicago is sent during this year free. Students who are not receiving this paper can send for it, giving assurance that it will be placed on file. The Cynosure represents the movement in opposition to secret societies, and among its contributors are some of the ablest college and pulpit men in the country. At the request of College officers the discussion of college secret societies, begun at the National Teacher's Association at St. Paul by Pres. McFarland of Iowa, Wesleyan University, will be continued in the Christian Cynosure, which is now open for free expression of opinion from all interested in the subject, pro or con. Contributions from eminent educators and preachers are already provided, and all friends and opponents of these fraternities are requested to send their opinions to the editors of the Cynosure at 221 West Madison St. Chicago.
THERE has been a petition circulated during the past week petitioning the Faculty to open the Library during the chapel service. This is a very old but wise move. Chapel attendance is not compulsory at K. S. U. and to drive students out of the library at that time seems to be a little absurd. If a student wants to go to chapel he will do so of his own accord and no amount of hinting such as running him out of the reading rooms will bring him into a very religious state of mind. If the rule worked as well on proffessors as it does on students it would not be so bad but to have the Faculty make a cast iron and absurd rule for the students and then see influential members of the same body stay in the chapel does not seem consistent. Setting a good example goes a good ways towards reform. Every one should sign the petition although it may never go through.

A Students' First Impressions
The ascending, and decending, that hill is what first impresses itself upon the brain, but that is not all that it does for it oppresses the lungs, and weakens, (or strengthens) the knees; anyhow it reminds one of mounting Pike's Peak. But when the summit is reached and the mammoth University building is seen for the first time, as well as the modern edifice "Snow Hall" then a Kansan feels proud of his state and realizes that she need not hide this institution in the valley or under the "half-bushel" but is justified in placing it upon the apex of University hill or a mountain, as emblematic of the grand system of education prevailing in our state. Walking into the hallway at a little before nine o'clock a.m., the writer was struck by the appearance of the students both male and female. The gentler sex made a nice appearance both as to dress and intelligence of their faces. The gentlemen acted as such being very orderly, well dressed and in earnest in the work of acquiring an education. The library was visited and the thought occurred to me that the state of Kansas need not be afraid of making appropriations for the library because the books are handled with the greatest of care and in fact everything is. Having no further business in this part of the University the other building was made for, i.e., the old University where the law classes are to be taught how a man may break the ten commandments and not suffer worldly punishments. When the writer first viewed this building it looked rathe dilapidated but in the last few day the artists have, by paint, papers, improved the appearance very much so that now the old building is not a discredit to the state. The next experience was

SCENE I.
Base base ball ground; curtainises showing Profs. Carruth and Sterling with Messrs. Hudson, Harper, Bowersock, Simmons and others some distance away discuss plans for organizing ball club, Small Negroes on ball ground.
Prof. Carruth—"We comet his day to organize a ball club worthy of great K, S, U."
Prof. Sterling—"Aye, so we do, and let us proceed to business."
Harper—"Most surely sirs, I long for a chance to show my skill upon the diamond."
Chorus of the others, "So say we all."
Simmons—The spirit of conflict moves me. I feel the strength of countless hundreds in my invincible right arm. I long to cross bats with any who dare meet us, whether Caucasian, Red man or Ethiopian.
Sterling—The spirit that actuates you Simmons is worthy of emulation. I fear we shall have an opportunity to show our skill within a few hours for a valiant band of Ethiopians have usurped our ancient rights and taken possession of our ball grondn. We must wrest it from them though half our number perish."
Carruth—Bowersock, Harper. Hudson, Simmons, let the memory of your ancestor's brave deeds nerve you to deeds of daring. Honor is at stake. Let us prepare for the combat. Exit, curtain.
SCENE II.
The Ethiopians seen in full possession of the ball ground. The students with Prof. Carruth as Brigadier general. Prof. Sterling as colonel. advanced.
They halt. Bowersock is sent with a flag of truce to negotiate with the enemy.
Bowersock—I come as the embassadore of one whose countenance is terrible to behold. Whose gaze has filled the souls of Preps with anguish, and who has a valiant army to do his bidding, that has never been conquered and from him I deliver this message to you. Instantly disperse and give up this ball ground, or the wrath of He who must be obeyed shall fall upon you.

with five small pebbles and one sock as a sling.
C. —From rear. They charged. They fight. The earth trembles with the tread of the combatants. The sky assumes a lurid hue and the ground becomes slippery with the gore of the warriors. The issue is doubtful.
"Stout Bowersock hatch a wound Hudson hath given ground." "The combat deepens, on ye braves! Who rush to glory or the grave!"
Sterling advancing. Most noble general, we have been victorious after a desperate struggle:
The air is filled with dust and pieces of sock and wool. The dust rises! The battle is o'er. The Ethiopian is surely killed."
Carruth—Since we have done so nobly, let us bury the dead and erect a monument to our daring and bravery.
They bury S. E. and march homeward with colors flying amid the plaudits of the assembled thousands who had watched the issue of the battle in breathless suspense."
"When can their glory fade On! the wild charge they made All the world wonder Honors the charge they made Honors the Light Brigade Noble Six Hundred."

The Kappa Psi.
The Phi Psis had one of their proverbial good times last Friday evening in their rooms. The evening was passed in dancing, cardplaying and other social pleasures. Society runs smoothly when the Pni Psis entertains. Those present were Misses Vanhosen, Henshaw, Annie and Lou Barker, Monroe Root, Scott, Webber, Love, Churchill, Buckinham, Lyons, Mason and McCague. Messrs. Will Snow, Mushrush, Crawford, Robinson, Overton, Hudson, Allen, Armstrong, Peabody, Brewster, Dyer and Spencer.
Prof. Penny, the recently elected Dean of the Music Department, a thoroughly energetic man, is rapidly gaining the confidence of the students. He is reorganizing the old Handel and Hayden club and also organizing a ladies chorus and a glee club. Any one having a good voice should take advantage of this opportunity as this is the only requirement. There is no reason why we cannot have the best glee club in the state if the singers will embrace this opportunity. It will take the time of the Professor to carry on such work as this and it is to be hoped that his push and enthusiasm will be met at least half way.

Chapel Services.
It is also proposed that on Friday morning the leader of the week shall in addition to the regular service give a short practical talk to the students of from 8 to 10 minutes in length on some religious topic. The different ministers of the town will take part from time to time in the conducting of the services.
On Monday, Sept. 29th, will begin the new order of exercises in Chapel service. The committee has planned an entire change from the old order of things. A new song book published by Siler Burdette & Co. has been purchased. It is prepared especially for Chapel service and is called the Students' Hymnal. Prof. Penny, who will have charge of the music, has provided for a large choice of mixed voices to lead the singing. A new book for responsive reading published by the Century company has also been procured. The order of exercises decided upon by the committee is as follows: First, Singing Doxology or Gloria Patie then the responsive reading followed by a scripture reading and prayer. The exercises will then close with a hymn or anthem at the pleasure of the leaders.
It is proposed if possibe to make Chapel exercises somewhat more interesting than in the past, and it is hoped that the students will show their appreciation by a good attendance at the morning service.

Poehler, Lewis, Norton, McCague, Davis, Snoddy, Whitesides, Schott, Neely, Wever. Lamb, Bennett, Butterworth, Crowell, Smith, Fox, Johnson, Brown, Harper and Carson.
Pinafore.
No entertainment that will be given this winter will furnish more solid enjoyment than that of Gilbert & Sullivans' opera as given by Miss Georgia Brown's troop of children to-night and to-morrow night. Students will find themselves well repaid for their time and money and those who do not attend will miss a rare treat. Seats on sale at Crew's at 50c, 35c and 15c.

Frank Daniels' Comedy Tuesday Sept. 30.
Mr. Daniels has again this season the valuable aid of that bright little comedy actress, Miss Bessie Sanson, who has been identified with "Little Puck" from the first, and whose well directed efforts have always been so satisfactory. The balance of the supporting company, however, is nearly new. George H. Wood, that "somewhat different comedian," so well-known to the minstrel, and vaudeville stage, has been especially engaged to play a conspicuous role. Ed Morris, the well-known funny stage Irishman, has also been secured. Of last season's company, Arthur Moulton, Robert Evans and William Steadman have been retained. Miss Jessie Ollivier, who made such a name for herself with the Boston Ideals last season, is the new prima donna of the company, and the Misses Lillian Barr, Kate Allen, Rose Chesneau, Fanny Johnson and Annetta Zelna—bright, pretty and clever girls all. Seats at Crew's Saturday morning.
The following were registered at the University during the week:
Mrs C Post, Salina, Kan; Mrs Gould, Lawrence; Miss Grace Gould, Lawrence; T J Moon, Swapare, I T; C W Grant, Haskell Institute; Frank Smith, McPherson; Archie Nelson, city; H Fieg-enbaum, city; John Dennis, K C, Mo; Geo Foster, L B C; Mrs J K Laird, Jesup, Ia; Mrs E G Crane, Toledo, O; Miss Jessie Crane, Toledo, O; Mrs C A Kellogg, Lawrence; Miss Nina Kellogg, Lawrence; Mr Leland Webb, Topeka.
A repetition has again been posted on the bulletin board asking the faculty not to close the library during chapel services. A similar petition was circulated last year but not granted by the faculty and we doubt whether they have changed their opinions since then. Whatever may be the arguments in favor of open library there are but few who would be benefited by it. Besides, chapel services are to be made so attractive now that all will want to attend.
F. G.Crowell, of the class of '88, came back from New York where he has been attending the Columbia school, and paid the University a very pleasant visit last Friday. On Saturday evening his Phi Gam brethern gave a party in his honor and all had a delightful time.
Following the suggestion of the "COURIER" of last week a subscription has been started for Mr. Flinn, the colored man who lost the forty-one dollars, and nearly that amount has been raised. It is more blessed to give than to receive.
