VOL. IX.
A GREAT GAME.
Y. M. C. A. Wins a Hard Fought Battle and K. S. U. Meets an Honorable Defeat.
It was a great game and was well played from the time that the ball was put into play till the two eleven are lined up one foot from the University line in the final effort to force the ball across the line and secure another touch down.
K. S. U. on the whole played the better game but the Y. M. C. A. had the advantage of position and of being on home grounds. It was exactly 3:30 when time was called and play commenced:
K. S. U. wins the toss, takes the ball and the game is on. The Y. M.C.A. play hard and the University is forced back. On failure to make five yards the ball goes to the Y.M.C.A. and is forced near the University line.
Balding bleeds and Kutz takes his place. The playing is near the goal and after several unsuccessful attempts the ball is forced over the line and Phillips has secured the first touch down."Rah!'Rah! Y. M.C.A." is the yell that goes up. The ball is then taken out twenty-five yards and Elkins with his patent leather kick fails to kick a goal.
Pearls kicks out and the University makes space. Davis of the Y. M.C.A.is disabled and Gossard takes his place.
The play is now in the center and many claims of foul are made but not allowed. Y. M. C. A. fails to make five yards and the University takes the ball. Sherman punts out, Phillips gets the ball and when Phillips gets the ball we make space. A lively skirmage ensues and Williamson, for the University, works the ball back to the twenty-five yard line. Dyer takes the ball, makes a short run but is held. Huddleston takes the ball, breaks through the crowd and nearly reaches the Y. M. C. A. goal before he is brought down.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC. 5, 1890.
The Y. M. C. A. claim the ball was held and it is taken back. This was the only time the ball was in the Y. M. C. A. territory during the first half. Hudson goes full back and Williamson quarter back and the play continues. Phillips gets the ball and by brainy blocking works the ball near the line and Elkins scores the second touch down but again fails to kick a goal.
Sherman kicks off but Elkins gets the ball and makes a good run. He then punts but the ball goes out of bonds and the crowd scatters. Phillips kicks the ball over line but Williamson gets a touch back. The balls goes to the Y.M.C.A.on a foul and is again forced over the line.
Y. M. C. A. decide to kick out
but the ball touches the ground and the University charges. The ball remains in University territory and by vigorous use of the wedge play, Y.M.'C.A.scores another touch down.
Dogget tries his luck and succeeds in kicking a goal.
Lively playing follows and the ball is punted back and forth. Phillips tries another run but is tackled by Williamson. Punting is continued and time is called with the score 18-0 in favor of the Y. M. C. A.
Peairs has been hit in the face by a kicked ball but says he is all right and the University goes in on the second half with a determination to do something. The ball is kicked out and goes near the University goal.
Hudson punts back. Hogg gets the ball and followed by twenty-one men runs nearly the entire length of the field and scores the first touch down for K. S. U. Then the University boys show the people how to yell. So small a number of students never made Rock Chalk Jay Hawk K. U. sound so loud before.
Hogg then kicks a goal and more cheering follows.
Playing is resumed in a lively way, but it is evident that the Y. M.C.A.men are becoming winded.
Phillips kicks over line but Hudson makes a safety.
Hogg kicks out of bounds and the crowd scatters.
Champlain forces the ball into Y. M. C. A. territory but it is punted out and goes to Y. M. C. A. The University team is now playing hard.
The playing is now in Y. M. C. A. territory and the University is the aggressor.
The ball is punted back towards the K. S. U. line and the University secures it. It is passa to Sherman and he starts for the other end of the field as if he intended to get there.
Three men try to stop him but to no avail, he is almost to the line when he trips and falls. The University plays hard for a touch down but is forced back. Sherman again gets the ball and makes another long run and is only stopped when within a few feet of the goal. The University now tries the wedge play. Y. M. C. A. is forced back and Williamson scores a touch down. The ball is punited out as there is no chance of kicking a goal. The crowd intervenes and the University miss the ball. The University eleven is now playing for all it is worth, but the Y. M. C. A. brace up and the ball goes back into K. S. U. territory.
The ball goes out of bounds and the crowd try to prevent the University from getting it. University takes the ball but is forced back and Phillips makes another good run. The ball is now near the University goal and the play continues fast and hard. Phillips is hurt but pluckily remains. Darkness is coming on and the crowd interferes. Five minutes yet remain and Y. M. C. A. work hard to secure another touch down. The ball is within two feet of the line. Again and again Y. M. C. A. tries to force back the University rush line but it stands firm.
And with the two eleven lined up for a final effort, time is called and the game is ended with the score 18-10 in favor of the Y.M. C.A.
The clubs then repaired to the Henrietta where they enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner.
The University eleven put up a much better game than at Baldwin. There was more team work and the rush line was stronger. The eleven is rapidly becoming more proficient and the game on Monday against Baker will show to the students and faculty that K. S. U, has a foot ball eleven of which they may feel proud.
Coming up from Baldwin last Friday, one of the members of the Baker eleven lost his hat out of a car window. The train was stopped, the hat recovered and in consequence connection with the Santa Fe missed, and all the passengers waited over until nearly 12 o'clock.
Dr. Charles H. Caton, of Chicago, made a short visit at the University last Wednesday morning. Dr. Caton had delivered a lecture at Baker the night before on "Wellington and Napoleon," and spoke very highly of the reception given him by the Baker students. Dr. Caton is a great friend of Dr. Gunsaulus who lectured here on Savonarola, and says that the report that Dr. Gunsaulus has severed his connection with the Congregational church is false. He says that Dr. Gunsaulus is the most wonderful preacher in Chicago today. Dr. Gunsaulus preaches every Sunday evening to an immense audience in the poorer quarters of the city. By so doing the report was spread about that he was preaching entirely to an independent congregation. Dr. Gunsaulus receives no pay for his extra work.
Chancellor Snow will give a reception to the faculty and students of the University this evening in Snow Hall from 8 to 10 o'clock. This will be a very pleasant occasion and every student should make it a point to attend.
University reception to-night.

Baker Wins the Second Inter Collegiate Foot Ball Match
by the Score of 32 to 0.
A large number of University men including Captain Peiris went to Topeka last Friday to see the foot ball match between Washburn and Baker Universities. The day was a perfect one for sport, and this together with the fact that this was the first foot ball match ever played in Topeka, were sufficient inducements to attract a large crowd of Topeka people to the game. The elevens were pretty evenly divided as to weight, much more so than the K. S. U. and Baker elevents. Washburn, however, was not in the game from the start. The Baker men had everything their own way and according to the Capital, "it was simply a question of how high a score Baker would pile up or whether or not Washburn would have the satisfaction of scoring." The feature of the game was the work of Baker's half back Goodale, who was a terror to the Washburnites.
In the first half of the match Baker made four touch downs and three goals. In the second half Baker made two touch downs and Washburn made one safety, counting two for Baker and leaving the final score 32 to 0 for Baker. It was a curious coincident that this score should be similar to that made by Yale against Princeton last Thursday.
Prof. W. H. Carruth was referee of the game and John Moorehead, umpire.
The men comprising the two eleven and their respective positions were as follows:
Baker. Washburn.
Caudry . . . Lelt End. . . . Thomas
Wrena . . . Left Tackle. . . . Guild
Musese . . . Lelt Guard. . . . Lawson
Atherton . . Center Rush. . . Sullivan
Cool . . . Right Guard. . . . Rich
Lockhart . Right Tackle. . . Foster
Davis . . . Right End. . . Mercer
Harpister . Quarter Back. . McVicar
McRoberts { . Half Backs { . Mohber
Goodale { . Stoores
Pearson . . Full Backs . Tucker
H. A. Peairis, Prof. A. M. Wilcox, Paul Hudson, Herb, Armstrong, Bonebrake, R. R. Whitman, Prof. Carruth and others composed the University crowd at the K. S U.-Washburn game.
Prof. James H Canfield has just issued the full report of the meeting of the National Teacher's association held recently at St. Paul. The report was published by the State Publishing House, and the proof was read by Arthur B. Barteaux of this city. The report is nicely gotten up and contains much valuable information.

Academy of Language.
The Kansas Academy of Language, Literature and Art held its seventh annual meeting at Topeka Friday and Saturday of last week. A number of University people attended and took part. Prof. W. H. Carruth read an interesting paper on "Dialect study in Kansas." Prof. A. J. Canfield read a paper on,"The Genesis of Realism in Fiction." Miss Carrie Watson gave a report detailing the methods of work and the condition and prospects of the University library.
Mr. B. W. Woodward, of Lawrence, was elected president, Prof. Phelps, of Washburn, secretary, and Miss Alhborn, of Baker, treasurer. The next meeting will be held at Lawrence.
Yale recently beat the University of Pennsylvania at foot ball on the New Haven grounds by the score of 60 to 0. On the trip home the U. of P. boys made life miserable for the passengers on the boat and cars by singing, "We've been to New Haven, alack! alack! We've got in the soup! alack! alack! We're glad we're back! alack! alack! Hurrah! Hurrah! Penn-sylva-nia!" Pennsylvania is not the only college thankful to get back from having met Yale. Princeton can now sing the same song, as the score on Thanksgiving day was 32 to 0 in favor of Yale.
Washburn did not support its team last Friday with any regular cheering. Both Washburn and Baker are deficient in this respect. To be sure Washburn did not have much to cheer for, but there were several times when some rousing cheers would have aided their team wonderfully. When a team is loosing, and makes a good play, is just the time when cheering is necessary. When a team is winning it is a poor crowd that will not cheer.
W. A. Simpson, of Kansas City, Kan., visited the University Wednesday.

Entered at the post office; in Lawrence, Kansas,
an second-class matter.
It is with pleasure that we publish in this issue the latest news concerning Prof.Dyche, Prof.Marsh and William Harvey Brown. We should like to be able to publish something more definite about Brown and have made arrangements whereby the first news received will be given to our readers.
VACATION is over and we are back again for the duties of school life. While we are, as a rule, glad when vacation begins we are also very glad when it ends. College life is a mixture of the bitter and the sweet, but when it is looked back upon the sweet largely predominates, and if we but knew it we are spending the most pleasant as well as the most profitable days of our lives here in college.
WASHBURN Reporter, Nov. 26. "If anybody left the foot ball grounds last Friday afternoon without the firm belief that if Baker comes up day after to-morrow, she comes to certain defeat, we failed $ _{t_{0}} $ see him. * * * * With Sullivan, Guild and Foster in the middle of the rush line, with such strong players behind the rush line and with such efficient coaching as we have had what can the team not accomplish? * * * * We are in the race for a pennant and it will be strange if we do not win." The day after to-morrow Washburn met with a sweeping defeat. There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Brother Lawson, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
THE local oratorical contest at Baker will take place the evening of December 12th. Seven or eight orators will contest and much enthusiasm is reported. Sam McRoberts is regarded as the coming man. The Ottawa contest takes place Monday evening of next week. Slight enthusiasm is reported. The Washburn contest will take place soon. There will be only four contestants and one of them Myers is said to stand head and shoulders above the others. It is reported that Salina will send a strong man this year. Here in K. S. U. we will have the full limit of orators allowed in the local contest viz. six, and interest in the outcome runs high. K. S. U. can be relied upon as usual to send a strong man
to the state contest. Surely the cratorical pot begins to boil and the great day will be with us before we know it.
NEXT Monday Baker will play the return match of foot ball. This will be without doubt the most exciting game that has yet been played in Kansas. Baker will send a large delegation of enthusiastic backers and confidently expects to win. Notwithstanding our team has sustained two defeats, there is among our students a very general confidence in the teams ability to beat Baker Monday. The team in the last two games has gained confidence in itself which will go far toward winning. We confidently believe that the victorious career of the Baker eleven will end on next Monday. There will be an immense crowd in attendance and we hope that the Athletic association will take means to keep the crowd back off the field. As it has been at Baker and Washburn the crowd at times seriously interfered with the play.
A PRIVATE letter from Prof. A. R. Marsh gives an account of his wandering which will be of interest to his many friends here and throughout the country. He says: "Since I wrote you I have traversed last a good part of the continent of Europe. First, five months in Spain, then a voyage on the Mediterranean to Italy, from Italy up through Switzerland to Badon Baden in Germany, the summer there, then south once more through Switzerland, and now settled here in Florence for a few weeks. In December I go back to Spain for two months, leaving my family here in Florence. In February I rejoin them and we go to Rome and Naples for a month; then turn northward to Venice, theme to Dresden, thence to Berlin, and so on to Hamburg, whence we sail for home in May. In June I hope to make a trip to Kansas for business purposes and to see my old friends once more. So I shall think when in March we turn northward from Naples, that we are beginning a backward journey that will end in Kansas."—Journal.
PROF. DYCHE HEARD FROM.
ROF. DYCHE HEADS FROM
Chancellor Snow has received a letter from Prof. Dyche who left here last July on a hunting expedition in British Columbia. Prof. Dyche reports a very successful trip and the University museum will receive many fine additions. Prof. Dyche has made arrangements to go about one hundred and twenty-five miles northeast of where he is now on a trip for Caribou. After that he will return home. Prof. Dyche says in his letter:
"I have got moose. Moose, yes, twelve fine ones, and a grand old bull for leader in the group. The central figure of the moose group is a giant in every sense of the word. He has a thick, black, glossy coat of hair; his dimensions are almost too wonderful to be mentioned. This animal must have been preserved by
Iestiny for a specimen and fortune has given him to us. He was 7 feet 1 inch high at the shoulders, and 9 feet and 1 inch in length from end of nose to root of tail with magnificent proportions of body and limb. The horns! such horns! massive, widely palmated with numerous prongs and grand in their extent. They measure 52 inches from point to point. I had no idea that the moose was such an animal. This one at any rate is next in size to the Irish elk, and was one of the largest representatives of the largest species of deer animals now living. What a figure he will be in the museum—standing at least a foot higher than the old buffalo bull with whom he will undoubtedly vie for first place as a center of attraction, It took four bullets to down this knightly beast. On the same occasion I downed a cow and a calf. The three were all together and I got them all—a complete family. I tell you that was a great day. I was excited, I jumped upon the old bull even before he was through kicking and gave a great yell for the University. I do not think that our collection of moose skins can ever be excelled or even equalled by that of any other institution. I am sure I can get caribou. There are many localities where they are found. As yet I have never been in caribou country."
IN THE HEART OF AFRICA.
William Harvey Brown now in Central Africa—No News Received From Him Since July 26th—at that Time Expecting to be Attacked by Natives.
As is well known W. H. Brown, class of '88, accompanied the U. S. Eclipse Expedition to Arica as naturalist for the government. The expedition left New York Oct. 16, 1889. At Cape Town, Cape Colony, South Africa, the American Consul took a great interest in Brown's work and told him of the English South African Exploring Expedition that was making preparations to take a trip to the Zambesi river in the interior of Africa. So by the efforts of the two, Brown managed to get on the expedition.
He is paid $50 a month by the British Government and is allowed to make a collection and have free transportation for it back to the Cape. The National museum is also paying Brown $200 a month while in the field, so if nothing happens he stands a very good show for making a satisfactory collection.
No news has been received from Brown since July 26th, when the last letter was received by Arthur H. Brown at Washington. At that time they were sixteen hundred miles from Cape Town and within two hundred and fifty miles of their destination, and travelling at the rate of fifteen miles a day. They were in the heart of the Matabile land and were expecting an attack from the natives at any moment.
The expedition consists of five hundred whites and three hundred blacks, sixty-two ox wagons with sixteen oxen on each wagon. The
members of the expedition are all well armed with rifles and have a small battery of gatling-guns, etc. The whites ride horse-back. When the expedition reached the Zambesi river, the intention was to settle down and thoroughly explore the surrounding country, during which time Brown expected to make his collections.

University Ball.
The annual University Ball was held Tuesday evening, November 25 in Frazer's hall, and proved one of the most enjoyable of the many enjoyable affairs held in University circles. The Riverside Mandolin club furnished the music. The University Glee Club, also made its first appearance and sang the accompaniments for a number of waltzes very acceptably. One of the pleasant features of the program was the "German" led by Prof. Penny and participated in by about thirty couples. This was the first time that the "German" had been included in the program of a University ball and all present were charmed with this prettiest of dances. The favors were simple but tasty and were highly appreciated. The ball netted a substantial sum for the Athletic work.

Glee Club Concert.
The Glee Club went to Eudora last Saturday night to give a concert. The trip was made in wagons and a glorious trip it was. A few more could have been crowded into the house but it was comfortable as it was. The program opened with Upidee, the words being written for the occasion. The beauty of the thing didn't seem to dawn on the natives. They grinned a little and some one clapped once, but soon recovered his self control. Several pieces were received with the same composure, notwithstanding the frantic efforts of the University boys and girls who went along to work up some enthusiasm without discovering their purpose. When the boys "shot that nigger through the liver," so serenely, there was a decided commotion, and when an amusing variation was worked on the last part of the verse, the audience went "clean off." After that they were ours completely. Mary's lamb was enceded—thanks to the boys—and after the natives found out how it was done encores were frequent. The more sober parts of the program never failed to draw tears. The mandolins were a pleasant feature of the program. Taken all in all, the concert was a success and the good people of Eudora went away well pleased, even if they were not uproarous about it. The next concert will be given at No. 6, Tuesday night, tho 9th, and it is hoped that a hundred students will go out to give encouragement to the boys and contribute their mite to the organ fund.
Prof. James H. Canfield gave a talk on "Books" before the High School students last Monday. This was the first of a series of talks to be given at the High School by University professors.

A BRILLIANT GAME.
K S. U. the Victor Despite the Decision Against it.
From Tineaday's daily Journal
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC. 12, 1890.
From the news in early September, Lawrence has seen enthusiastic crowds, it has seen the students go wild when Crane won the oratorical contest at Topeka and when the base ball club batted out a lost game from Washburn in the 9th inning, but never did anything approach the wild enthusiasm, the unrestrained demonstration, the wild outburst of yells from a thousand throats when Coleman was seen to break forth from a wishing struggling moss and, after a
brilliant run sears the touch down which won the game.
Five hundred University students burst over the ropes, rushed across the field, lifted Coleman on their shoulders and bore him off in triumph. It was the most brilliant, the most wildly exciting contest that ever occurred on Kansas soil.
The cheers and noise from several hundred tinn horns was deafening. But above all other sounds "Rock-chalk-Jayhawk K. U." could be heard strong and clear. The day was a perfect one, warm enough to make it comfortable for the spectators but cool enough to inspire the players to their best efforts. Baker had the largest delegation present in the memory of the oldest student and every Baker man had a tin horn.
The Baker boys are confident and the ball is rapidly forced towards the University goal. After several returns and some lively scrimmaging the ball is held near the line and the wedge play forces back the University rush line and Baker has secured a touch down. Goodale then kicks a goal and the score is 6-0.
At ten minutes of three o'clock the University team leaped over the ropes and appeared on the field, they were greeted with cheers and the tooting of horns. Promptly at 3 o'clock play commences. The University takes the north side and Baker puts the ball in play. Goodale kicks off and it isident at once that the game will be lively and hard fought.
The Baker delegation then think they are making a big noise, but wait till the University students have an opportunity.
The ball is then put in play and goes quickly into Baker territory. Sherman makes several good runs and the ball is held several times near the line, but Baker plays steady and it looks as if the University will be unable to score a touch down.
The ball is again forced near the line on a rush by Kinzie aided by good blocking and encouraged by the cheers of the crowd the Baker rush line is forced back and the University has secured the touch down. The ball is taken out and Hogg kicks a goal and the time is called with the score 6-6
After ten minutes intermission play is resumed.
Not a man has been hurt and both sides are confident. The ball is punted back and forth and goes in quick succession from Baker to University territory. In some way Champlain gets the ball breaks from the crowd and closely followed by the Baker team makes a long run and scores a touch down.
Hogg fails to kick a goal, but the University is four points ahead and the crowd goes wild. Baker takes the ball and Goodale by slugging forces it near the University line. The ball is now held near the line and the game looks doubtful. Three times did the Baker rush line use the wedge play and attempt to run back the University line, but as often did it fail. The University rush line stands like a stone wall.
Goodale gets the ball and aided by the
as around the end and scores a
touch down. Baker goes wild. "B. U. Baker, Rah, Rah, take her" drowns out all other sounds. Goodale then kicks a goal and the score is 12 to 10 in favor of Baker.
Only fifteen minutes remain and things look blue for K. S. U. The boys do not give up, but go in and fight like demons. The ball goes into Baker territory but is forced back. Pearis is hurt and Brown takes his place. The play continues fast and hard. Baker makes an off side play and Atherton breaks through the line and has a clear field before him. Sherman doubles the distance and downs him near the University line. The University club objects to the play and the mupire allows it, but then changes his mind and the bull is taken back near the University goal. Only five minutes remain, and it looks as if the Baker club would secure another touch down.
The wedge play is used in an attempt to force the ball over the line and a live, scrimmage ensues. Out of the crowd of wildly struggling men Coleman appears and closely pursued by Baker's best runners runs the entire length of the field and scores a touch down and the score is 14-12 in favor of K. S. U.
The scene that followed beggars description. Every University man went wild, hats were ruined and canes were broken. A crowd of enthusiasts piled on Coleman and then bore him off on their shoulders.
The Baker club claim that the last touch down should not be counted because the umpire had called tin.a before Coleman got the ball.
Prof. Carruth was umpire and had whistled for play to stop but had done so on the request of Pears, who had quit the game. Coleman was acting captain and any decision Prof. Carruth made on the understanding that Pears was captain he should have changed. This he refused to do and persisted in giving the game to Baker when it can only appear that he made his decision on a misunderstanding. Whatever process of reasoning Prof. Carruth may adopt to justify his decision, whatever technicalities he may find to fortify him in his position, the game will always be claimed by the entire student body, and will always be remembered as a brilliant and fairly won victory.
After the game the students marched down town in a body and after supper they celebrated the victory by a bonfire on the corner of Massachusetts and Henry street and a number of speeches were made The clubs lined up as follows:
Baker. K. S. U.
Caudray . . . Lelt End . . . Cook
Wrena . . . Lelt Tackle . . Champlaim
Muesse . . . Lelt Guard . . Frederickch

Sprung kneed, wheezy black-eyed, wind-broken and generally done up gobs of human clay now reap the glory of their scars and bruises. No longer will the street Arab tauntingly yell. "got licked didn't yer," when such a speciman hobbles on the street. No, doffing his cap with veneration the kids around town look upon the "misery" as a relic of a hard fought K. S. U.-Baker foot ball contest.
The Glee club covered itself with glory at No. 6, last Tuesday evening.
UNIVERSITY PIPE ORGANS
Prof. Penny is Working Hard to Make it go.
Prof Penny's scheme for putting a grand pipe organ in University Hall is working out nicely. Everybody seems to be heartily in sympathy with this most commendable undertaking, and the prospects are bright for success.
The need of a suitable organ in University chapel to be used in the daily devotional exercises, in concerts and on all occasions where music is a feature, has been long felt. But the cost of a pipe organ of size and worth to be suitable for one of the finest college auditoriums in the country is evidently so great that much hesitation has been shown in undertaking to obtain the organ. Prof. Penny, however, with characteristic energy has set to work in a way that will commend itself to every one. His scheme is to offer series of musical entertainments, there being six, we believe in the course. Tickets for the course are sold at $1.50, and each ticket bought is considered as a donation to the organ fund of $1.50 or enough money to purchase one pipe. Each ticket represents an admission to a series of concerts which will more than repay the purchaser. Those wishing to aid the organ fund in a sum greater than $1.50 are cordially invited to do so, and for each $1.50 donated, if you please to call it so, a course ticket is given the donor which may be presented to any friend of the doner, or better, purchaser. The Glee club concert which is to occur tonight is the first of the concert series. The Glee club will make a tour of the state during the holidays, the proceeds of the trip to be given to the organ fund. The club will make another trip in the spring, the money made to be turned over to the athletic fund.
About $200 worth of tickets have been purchased by the faculty members of the University, and Lawrence citizens are responding liberally. Every student should have a hand in the o'taining of the organ. The growing fund is in the hands of Mr. Moody, secretary of the University, he having consented to act as custodian of the money.
This organ fund should not and will not interfere at all with other University enterprises demanding money. The Athletic fund is to be helped rather than hindered by Prof. Penny's activity. The tour of the Glee Club next spring after the winter's practice, and after it has by this first trip for the organ fund gained for itself a reputation, will swell the Athletic fund to a very perceptible degree.
Prof. Penny is a new man but
his energy and his earnest work for the advance of Lawrence and University musical interests are gaining him a reputation in our midst.
Get your girl and attend the Glee club concert at the Opera House this evening. The boys are well drilled under the efficient management of Prof. Peuny, and this is their first public appearance in Lawrence.
Yellow and Sky Blue.
The concert to be given tonight by the University Glee club promises to prove a splendid success. Every loyal student and friend of the University should be present to tend to the efforts of the singers their good will and enthusiasm. As this is the first of the six entertainments for the organ fund, the proceeds will go to that purpose, except the door money which will go to defray the expenses the club has already incurred for costumes, music etc. Many of the old college songs, with the original interpretations that Prof. Penny has given them, will be brought out with charming effect. Not a few of the songs, however, are new and of a class of music worthy the merit of the finest taste.
The University Mandolin club under the able direction of Prof. Saunders will be a pleasant feature of the entertainment.
The boys have all been doing noble work for the last few months and their first appearance should have the hearty patronage of all. The cause is certainly commendable.
Take Heed.
When we returned to Lawrence this fall we had hopes of a year of retired and quiet work. Consequently upon our arrival we at once sought the seclusion of our boarding house. Since then we have been undecided whether we have been in Bedlam or not. The evidence leads us to think we are there, although the presumption, based upon our personal character is against this conclusion.
The facts are these: hardly had we got seated in the arm chair in our room than we heard sundry noises cleaving the air. This startled us. Upon enquiry however we learned that it was only the sound of a flute in the house across the streets two violins in the houses on either side of us, and a piano, banjo, mandolin and singing girl in another house near by. As a further explanation of our present dazed state suffice it to say that the sound of these instruments has never to our knowledge abated since from early in the morning, until late at night. Moreover we fear that neither musicians nor ourselves get
No.14.
sleep enough. Our fear however is mainly for ourselves. To sleep or not to sleep is optional with them, but we have no choice. Student musicians, this is getting monotonous. Have a care or otherwise we shall be compelled to leave this cruel world and depart to that bourne from which no traveler returns.
The Glee club will appear at the Opera House to-night, in all their glory of mortar-bords and college gowns. The program will consist of college songs, comic selections and some, that will bring tears to the eyes of the audience. So prepare to shed tears and to split your sides laughing. The club has won rounds of applause wherever it has appeared, and no student can afford to miss this evening's performance.
University Lecture Course.
Leland J. Powers the Prince of inpersonators and his talented wife will appear at the opera house Monday Dec. 15.
Mr. Powers will give his impersonation of Dickens' noted David Copperfield. Those who have heard him are loud in their praises of his work.
Mrs. Powers is a Prima Donna and is favorably spoken of by the press in Chicago and New York.
Says the Chicago Times; Mr. Powers is the star of the company, the support of the brass band and orchestra. He has also acquired immense popularity wherever he has appeared and those who heard him at the Chautauqua last summer are loud in their praises of his work.

The public will have to treat us with charity this week as our Editor-in-Chief was sick and a new man went to bat. He will be struck out next week.
It would be hard to find three more gentlemanly and courteous fellows than Captain McRoberts, of the Baker foot ball team; Captain McVicar, of the Washburn team, and Captain Peairs of our own team. It is largely due to these men that our foot ball contests thus far have been devoid of any disagreeable features.
The foot ball club has made remarkable progress and can now justly claim the honor of being the champions of the state. Two weeks ago Baker defeated us by a score of 22-9, while Monday the University won by the score of 14-12, and whether the decision of the umpire gave us the game or not it was apparent to everybody who saw it that Baker was outplayed at every point.
NEXT week's COURIER will be a Christmas number. One that every student should have to take home with him. The COURIER editors are already at work on matter for this holiday number. It will be issued on Friday in time for every student to procure a copy before leaving for home. If you have any friends whom you would like to have informed about the University, give their addresses to the business managers and have the COURIER sent to them.
LAST Friday night the chancel lor held a reception for the students and faculty of K. S. U in Snow hall. It was very largely attended and on the whole was a very successful affair. Buch's orchestra was secured for the occasion and added much to the pleasure of the gathering. In the pust Dr. Marvin used to hold what were known as faculty receptions, but during the Lippincott administration the institution entirey disappeared. We are glad it has been revived and hope to see many repetitions of the pleasant event of last Friday-
SCARCE has the excitement of the Brazilian Revolution died away. Hardly has the deposed Monarch, Dom Pedro, settled himself in his
sawly imposed position as a man among men, and begin to soak the scepter-callous on his right hand with corn-cure preparatory to removing this relic of a past splendor when another toot is heard from the tin-horn herald of the worlds political progress, anon, comes forth from the Hawaii sugar cane King Kalahue piles his kingly corpus into a little Pacific Tug steamer and hies him to the United States to sell his patrimony, together with all appurtenaces and para-pranalia, such as ermine robes, second hand thrones, secepters crowns etc. This may sound a little fishy but it appears to be the gospel truth. It has been rumored for several years that his highness bank account was getting shrivelled. The rumor was confirmed two years ago when Klans Spreckles the sugar king, began to act boorish about that little mortgage on the island that Mr. and Mrs. Kalakua had executed to him a few years before, and now after the passage of the McKinley bill, which gives the United States sugargrower 2 cents per pound advantage over the Sandwich Islands on the product consumed in the United States alike, the subjects are clamoring for an annexation to the Union. This proposed movement is looked upon very favorably by the far-sighted American diplomat and the probabilities are that we'll annex.
It may be the function of a college paper to carry news and keep the students in line with a few sarcastic flings at some society or club. We, however, are going to step over the line and assail the whole order of professors. A careful observer can easily notice that some one is to blame for the great amount of tardiness in coming to classes. The secret of all this lies in the fact that some of the teachers seem to think that they have the only classses in the institution and all others must be subservient to their will. The five minutes intermission is time that belongs to the student and any instructor who keeps a class after the first bell is guilty of oppression and misuse of power. A little thought on this subject will convince any fair minded person that to keep a class over the hour is radically wrong and unjust. Dr. Lippincott in his opening address here in the fall of '88 said: "The five minutes between each hour is for the student, in that time he is supposed to change from one class to another and I consider that a student has a perfect right to leave class after the first bell rings." We have no professor in the institution (that we know of) who as soon as the first bell taps dismisses his class; but he does not receive the same courtesy at the hands of the other professors. His classes, which are always interesting and instructive, are detained some time ten minutes by the grasping proclivities of some pecuniary instructors. Some of the professors seem to think it shows zeal and interest
in a study to make a student put in 65 instead of 55 minutes in a class, this does not increase the arduous student but on the contrary is liable to promote aversion especially as the poor suffering student knows that he will be late to his next class and consequently will have a failure score against him in the coming recitation. We do not write this as a declaration of war or to fill space but as a quiet appeal to the well meaning and generally considerate professors of K. S. U. This is an evil that works great wrong but is very easily righted, and it is our opinion that when this question is looked at in the proper light that right will prevail over might and all will be well in the end.
VIEWS
There is in the University a class of people whom, for want of a better name, I will call smoodles. The smoodles is of either sex and of varied characteristics. Some are dull and cannot keep pace with their more gifted fellows, let them work ever so faithfully. Others are bright and could easily stand at the head of their classes, but love of ball or tennis, or parties or case is greater than their love of study and when examination day comes they stand in the same row with their duller brothers; grade II or III or perhaps F is returned on their card. Do not understand that all who get these results are smoodles. There are those who can swallow their disappointment at not getting a I and inly resolve to do better next time. The smoodle doesn't take this manly view of the matter, but immediately proceeds to "pull the leg of the professor," as the beautiful and expressive metaphor goes, in order to get his "grade raised." His arts avail much, for after every examination we hear of grades being raised for those who weep or beg or hector till, for the sake of sweet peace their wishes are complied with.
It must not for a moment be thought that the name of smoodle applies to those who try to find where their mistakes were in an examination. They ought to find them and the professors ought to be ready to point them out. I have always regaided it a defect in our examination system that they were not pointed out. If one spends his best efforts on a theme or forensic
It may be said that grades are a matter of no consequence anyway, and if a smoodle wants to descend to this level he must, no one is harmed by his success. If this in itself, might be agreed to, we must yet take matters as they stand. The University does regard grades as a matter of consequence, else the system would not be here, and as long as it is here, there is an injustice done to those who take what they get without complaint, when the prayers of the smoodle are answered. Moreover, if high grades were less often the result of smoodling, the grade system would stand in higher repute than it now does.
and gets a III, where he thinks he ought to have a I, it is his due that his weakness as a writer be pointed out. In such cases as these there is no compromise of independence and manliness in consulting with the examiner. But the smoodle doesn't go back to find where his mistakes are; he goes to get his "grade raised', and whether he succeeds or not in getting his grade raised he does succeed in lowering himself in the estimation of his fellow students, and, if I am not mistaken, in the estimation of his instructors.
A Theory.
The curriculum of the University of Kansas is as wide in range and as thorough in work as that of the eastern colleges. The preparatory schools of our state, however, cannot be compared with those of the east. Accordingly the young person who enters the University has generally but indifferent preparation, on account of which the work of the first year or so is doubly difficult for him. In consequence it is only in the last two years, when he has overcome the hindrance of ill-preparation, that the student has any time to give to work outside of his regular studies, no matter how much he may have wished to undertake such work before. By this time, however, his habits are formed, his circle of acquaintances is more or less fixed, and he is likely to remain in the old rut. It is to these facts "that we attribute the decline of literary societies in K. S. U., and not to any tendency to specialization of work, as some have supposed. What are the facts supporting this theory?
When Oread and Orophillian were in the prime of their strength, the requirements of college work were not at all exacting. As a result students had more or less time for out side work. Thereupon debating societies were organized, and under the leadership of choice spirits they flourished. As a result excellent debaters and orators were turned out of K. S. U. by the dozen, and this state of affairs continued with little change till four or five years ago, then with the raising of standard in the University, literary societies began to decline, and have continued to decline as the requirements of regular work have become greater. To-day we have, indeed, a single literary society in a flourishing condition, but among the mass of students the spirit and ambition which drives men to seek practice in speaking lies almost dormant.
The power to speak in public and think consecutively is invaluable. Literary societies are the best helps to getting this power. Then call the Kansas State University Literary club to life again. Breathe the breath of life into the prostrate form of Athenacum. Even dig up the bones of Oread and Orophilian and constitute them again centers of improving influence to the student community. At any rate let us have vim and ambition enough not
to fail of attaining one of the most attractive and valuable accomplishments man can have, the power of effective speech.

LOCALS AND PERSONALS.
Attend the Glee club to-night.
Mrs. Scott Hopkins, of Horton, is visiting in the city.
Fred Funston was at the University a short time last week.
Did you see what the papers all said about the foot ball game?
Bejabers, and weren't we mad! Decisions from inter-conscientiousness don't always work.
We have the best foot ball team in the state and a fair play and an honest count showed it too.
Mr. T. A. Webb, formerly a student of Pharmacy, visited his sister Irene the first of the week.
Chancellor Snow mounted the barrel at the bonfire, and made the boys a short speech, full of enthusiasm and good advice.
To-night will witness the first presentation of truly college songs in Lawrence. Our Glee club is not composed of beginners but of trained singers.
Students may let their enthusiasm carry their judgment out of line sometimes, but they seldom ever get so blind but that they can see a hole in a ladder.
The annual sermon before the Y. W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. will be preached in the chapel next Sabbath night. This has become a feature of the school year.
It did us good to see the professors so enthused over the foot ball game. Two or three times we feared Professor Miller would tangle himself up in something.
The Record contains the best University news of any of the city papers. Hall is the enterprising correspondent. Since Hadley has taken the place on the Journal, that paper may be expected to pick up somewhat.
The boys handle Prof. Snow "when its our time" as though he were personal property. Although caresses may be somewhat rude at times the student body, with ut a disunittng voice, loves Chancellor Snow warmly, for "the first loved us."
Prof. Mayer was the most enthusiastic man on the grounds at the foot ball game. He didn't seem very familiar with the yell but he had a big tin whistle with a red manket tied around it which sounded very well indeed by his scientific manipulation of it.
The Hon. Geo. R. Peck will address the seminary this afternoon on the subject "Puritanism in Old England and in New England." Mr. Peck is a favorite with University people and is certain of a large and appreciative audience whenever he appears at the University.
At the bon fire Monday night Mr. Geo. Innes was captured and placed upon a barrel and a speech demanded from him. But he almost put the fire out by asking if we were democrats or republicans. We thought about that time how good a joke it would have been if the bottom had gone through.

The program for December 5 was very interesting and well rendered. The doctrine of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," was discussed very ably nearly all members present taking part in the general discussion. Even President Foster could not refrain from presenting his views on the subject by way of a little anecdote.
Quite a number of the members of the club have been trying to change the time of meeting from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. but it seems that the majority favor meeting at 1:30.
Mr. Eisher is with us again. We are glad to state that the sickness of his relatives did not prove as serious as he expected.
Mr. Bower, who went home to attend the wedding of his brother, has returned. He reports a very pleasant time.
Mr. P. B. Blume, father of Jarvis Blume, somewhat surprised him by calling him up about one o'clock Tuesday morning. He left for home on the ten o'clock train the same day.
Mr. Townsend went to Topeka Saturday on business. While there he purchased $50 worth of books for his library.
The Juniors argue their first Moot Court case before Judge Green next Wednesday at 2 o'clock p. m.
Judge Green adjourned Moot Court Monday afternoon to attend foot ball.
The McKinley bill has advanced the price of imported cigars from twenty to thirty-five dollars per thousand, but you will find all the best brands in stock purchased before this bill went into effect and selling at the old prices, besides all of the choicest domestic cigars at Smith's News Depot.
Don't forget the Glee club concert to-night, the music will be popular songs and selections by the Mandolin club.
There is no better place in Kansas City to spend a leisure hour than the Mirror Billiard hall, 607 Main street upstairs.
The Glee club will start on a tour of the surrounding towns Dec. 16th. They have been assured of full houses in more towns than they could visit in a month.
Walter J. Sears has quit newspaper business and entered the State University of Ohio, at Columbus.
The boys celebrated with a bonfire after the ball game. Win or not win, we all felt good over the playing of our team.

The Freshman class held a meeting Wednesday at the end of the fourth hour, but as the Freshmen are all members of the Farmers Alliance, their proceedings were secret and so the Courier is not able to present its readers with an account of the deliberations of that august body, the Freshman class. Perhaps by next week we may find some member who is venial enough to impart the knowledge for which the public is longing with a morbid curiosity.
Of course you want a little perfumery, for Christmas. The best supply and assortment at Raymond's drug store.

Prof. J. H. Canfield will leave for Chicago, Toronto and New England on Friday. The condition of his father's health compels him to be in Vermont during the holidays. On his way he will make preliminary arrangements for the great International Educational meeting in Toronto next July.—Record.
Captain Peairs attended the Y. M. C. A. vs Baker foot ball game at Kansas City last Saturday. He tried to arrange for another game between K. S. U. and Baker but they thought they had been so badly treated that an apology would have to be given them first by the K. S. U. However, when that luxury is given Baker, the temperature will be much lower than at the present writing. Baby!!

The accomodation which some people give has about as pleasing an effect on one as the outside of a peach to the tongue.
The Glee Club together with the Mandolin club had their pictures taken last week in their 'mortar boards.' They make a fine appearance.
The article of the man who represented Baker Beacon at the foot ball contest, was devoid of good English, good sense, courtesy, and truth.
Mr. George Dick is home on a vacation from the United Presbyterian Seminary at Alleghany, Pa. George is a member of the class of '89 and is one of the boys of which our university may feel proud.
A. W. Meyer is the gentleman's name who won the first place in oratory at Washburn Friday night. He is but 18 years old and a farmer boy. They say he is a good speaker. He perhaps will not "Naylor" banner to the mast head but will at least try it.
Indignation came to the mind of each student as he read the slanderous account of the foot ball game between K. S. U. and Baker, in the Beacon which was placed on the bulletin board. We respectfully suggest to those of our number who have determined to go as missionaries to foreign countries that there is a field near by "white to the harvest."
The condition of the walk, or rather the lack of walks on Mount Oread from the University to North College is a disgrace to any city. It is impossible to get from one building to the other on a muddy day without going down to Ohio street. The council should attend to the matter before disagreeable weather sets in.—Record. The Record states the case correctly and we hope it will continue to be heard from until the want is met. The lack of a walk between the two buildings is seriously felt.
The new catalogue is out.
The Regents held a session Tues day.
Miss Mamie Tisdale, one of our frequent visitors, was at the University Friday.

H. F. Roberts read a fine paper on the origin of the jury system at the politican seminary last Friday. Mr. Roberts shows much skill in preparing such papers.
Prof. Dyche has sent in some of his specimens which he obtained on this trip. Six very large boxes of skeletons and skins were received at Snow Hall Tuesday.
A party of thirty from the Linwood schools visited the University Saturday under the leadership of Mr. Beckey, their teacher. They seemed to enjoy their visit very much. Quite a number of schools have visited the University in a body of late. It is a good thing and we hope more will come.
The Douglas county Farmers' Institute in session last Saturday adopted a resolution favoring the appropriation by the legislature this winter of $2,500 to enable Prof. Snow to continue his experiments looking to the final extermination of the chinch bugs. This appropriation should be willingly granted as Prof. Snow has already been of inestimable benefit to the farmers of Kansas.
Ingratitude is a base sin and for which it is hard to believe there can be any excuse. Two weeks ago we told the public that the Record contained the best University news of any of the city papers and that Hall was an enterprising correspondent and we were very much pained to see the following in the Record after our last edition. "The Courier appears today and as usual contains no local matter on the first page. It may be hard on the purses but it is most favorable to the quality of the publication to have two University weeklies." Mr. Hall evidently credited our judgment of his ability and became a little bold. But we draw the line on his ability when he enters the field of criticism. He evidently doesn't know what local matter is. There wasn't anything else on our first page last week but local matter.

Lotus Glee Club, James Whitecomb Riley, Imperial mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Club and George Kennan. Course tickets have been sold for $2.50, making it the best and cheapest course possible to arrange for. The hearing of good lectures is regarded as one of the great means of education.
The ladies fraternity-rushing pledge expired on Dec. 12th. Up to the time of going to press the following ladies had accepted invitations from the different fraternities: From Kappa Alpha Theta; Misses Hand, Van Hoesen, Riggs and Churchill. From Kappa Kappa Gamma; Misses Neusom, Moore, Spencer and Rushmer. From Pi Beta Phi; Misses Stevens, Wheeler and Brewster. The young ladies will all be valuable acquisitions to the different fraternities and both they and the fraternities are to be congratulated.
No. 15,
Foot Ball.
We Roar! We Roar! 94!! 94!! is the cheer now. Last Wednesday '94 met '93 on the foot ball grounds and fought a bitter battle for the class supremacy. Prof. Sterling was referee and Prof. Carruth ampire. Hogg, captained the Freshman and Sherman the Sophomores. The first half was hard fought, but 94 forced the battle and at the end the score stood 12 to 0 in their favor. A fine tackle of Hogg by Springer, the steady work of the Freshmen; the ability of the Sophomores to kick and, a tremendous tackle by Withington were the features of this half.
The second half was half a repetition of the first, the score standing 6 to 0 in favor of '94, making the final score 18 to 0 in their favor. The feature of this half was the ability which the Sophomores showed in keeping the Freshmen from running up a big score. About ten minutes was also spent in getting a Freshman disqualified for slugging. '94 and '92 can now contest for the supremacy. Our prediction is that the result of a class league this fall where each class would have played each other class would have resulted this way: '94 first, '93 second, '92 and '91 bringing up the rear.
Juniors Versus Seniors.
The first foot ball game between the class elevens took place last Saturday on the grounds on South Massachusetts street. Both elevens were composed of heavy men and the game was a good one. The Juniors put the ball in play and in ten minutes scored the first touch down, and Knowlton kicked a goal The Seniors then braced up and the Juniors were unable to score again during the first half. During the second half, however, the Juniors played ball and scored four more touch downs and kicked three goals which made the score 28-0.

A TRIANGULAR LEAGUE.
The healthy growth of the athletic interest in the colleges of the state seems to render necessary the formation in the near future of some league whereby regular state contests may be provided for. A league comprised of most of the colleges in the state, or of those which comprise the present Oratorical Association, even, if it were possible to arrange such a one, would be clumsy and unwieldy at best, and it would be extremely doubtful if the results attained would be at all satisfactory. The reasons are evident: the expense of carrying out a schedule of games would be great owing to the distance between the colleges. The arrangements at the different colleges for any gate receipts are meagre. The time consumed would be more than could be with justice spent from the regular college work. Moreover each year some of the colleges would undoubtedly have weak teams to play with which, it would be a mere farce and waste of time. The Courier therefore favors a triangular league between K. S. U., Baker and Washburn, for contests in foot ball, baseball and tennis, as the best means of arriving at the ends desired by the University — systematic development of athletic work, and the creating of a genuine University spirit. Such a league would furnish the colleges with about all the contests they might desire, and the distance between the colleges is so small that the contests could easily be arranged for
In the above named colleges athletics haves been so organized already and the standing of the institutions is such that with definite contests for the championship in view, it is not probable that any one of them would be without a strong team in each of the different branches of athletics. The impulse given by such a league to systematic training, to the development of strong teams not by mere chance but by faithful work, would be of untold value to the different colleges, and we sincerely hope that it wil, be looked upon with favor by Washburn and Baker, as we are sure it is within our own University.
COLLEGE THEATRICALS.
The success will depend largely upon the play selected. Care should be taken that it be within the possibilities of amateur actors. The phase is current that nothing in heaven or on earth is out side the possibilities of the amateur and that he is perfectly willing to undertake anything from Hamlet and Iago to Tony Lumpkin and Bob Acres.
It is to be hoped that the plan inaugurated so successfully last year by the Athletic Board, of giving a dramatic entertainment, during the winter will be again carried out this winter and eventually become a regularly established custom. The entertainment last year, "Sweet Peas' Pleasure Trip" was good but a far better one can be given this year, for we now know more about the material upon which we can depend.
This view, however, entirely ignores the audience,a custom which is alas,far too frequent now when amateur entertainments are being arranged for. A play should be selected which has the possibilities within it for fine acting,yet at the same time will be pleasing with a medium and careful representation. A play depending on one part or some special characterization should be avoided. It seems to be the concensus of opinion in the east that colleges have been most successful in burlesque,which gives full scope for the vim and go of college students to find expression. It might be said that nearly all the college successes have been scored in burlesque.
The origin of college theatricals is due, to the Hasty Pudding Club, one of the senior societies of Harvard, which gave very successful performances of Helen and Paris; or, The Dude, the Dunce and the Daisy, at the Berkeley Lyceum some time ago. The father of this most diverting class of entertainments was Lemuel Hayward, Harvard, '45, who arranged a performance of Bombastes Furioso at the Pudding-rooms, he himself playing the little role. The spirit of fun has been contagious, and there are now at Harvard several other histrionic clubs, the most notable being that of D. K. E., which is a sophomore society at Cambridge. The Pudding and D. K. E. performances lead not only at Harvard, but in college theatricals generally.
The ballet made its debut in college theatricals in Dido and Eneas, which was given in New York in 1882, and is remembered as a very great hit. Dido's costume was a light pink gauze dress with flesh-colored tights. The costume was a success, and the ballet has now become a leading feature of college theatricals. It has been especially prominent in the performances of the Columbia College dramatic club, which has been before the public some four years. Pocahontas, Captain Kidd, William Penn, and Whittington Junior and his Sensation Cat have been its chief productions.

How far away is that long sought for goal—the day when the adominable quizzes will be done away with in K. S. U. Let us hope the millenium is at hand. This much used and inoffensive looking weapon is a positive detriment to any institution; to a good student a quiz is just so much time thrown away—worse than wasted for he might have that time to read or do any one of a dozen other things necessary to a student's life. He simply scribbles down facts which he already knew and of course gains no fresh knowledge, while the professor in charge must be a very poor sort of a stick, indeed if he does not know a great deal more concerning a student's ability from his class work than any quiz will tell.
To the poor student it is unfair. It gives him an advantage of which he never fails to take cognizance. A quiz to him (and he generally knows when they are coming) means simply so many hours of "cramming" or "bouring," as one may please to designate it. It is said "constant dropping wares away stones" and it has lately been suggested that constant correcting of quiz-books has worn away the good temper of more than one instructor in K. S. U. We have too good a corps of instructors to have them spoiled in this way; and if not for the good of the students, at least for the welfare of the teachers, let these "black blots" be wiped from the curriculum
The notice of the death of the University chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity chronicled in this issue will not be a surprise to those who have known something about the history of the chapter for the past year. Sigma Chi entered the University in 1884 and while it has never stood at the head of the fraternities here it has had some excellent men enrolled among its members, and has been active in a number of prominent University enterprises. It is the first chapter of any fraternity to fall and the facts which brought about its death are to be deplored by all fraternity men.
THE twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Kansas State Teachers, association will be held in Topeka, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 29, 30 and 31. The meeting will be of particular interest to all the progressive educators in the state. A number of prominent University people will attend and read papers. Professor Blackmar will read a paper on "Political Science in Common Schools." Chancellor Snow will deliver an address on "Educational Lessons of the Year." A. S. Olin, W. R. Cone, F. H. Clark, old University men are also on the program, Supt. Chas. F. Meserve of Haskell Institute will read a paper on "Indian Education," that will be of particular interest considering the late troubles with the Indians in the north. Among some of the papers that will [be presented which promise to be of great interest to University students are, "Habit in Education," "Growth of Language and Thought." "Cultivation of the Reading Habit." The meetings will be held in the Senate and Representative Halls.
BAKER, Washburn and Ottawa Universities have had their local oratorical contests and the thunders of the state oratorical contest begin to be heard in the distance. The men selected at Baker and Washburn are both strong orators and it must be be a good man who beats them. That there is such a man within K. S. U. however, we feel confident and we we do not believe but that the result will bear us out in our asser
tion. It will be no easy victory, however, and means diligent and earnest effort.
NOTWITHSTANDING the predictions of some of the knowing ones the political year at K. S. U. has so far been one of exceeding peace and quiet. Three class elections created hardly a ripple of excitement, contrary to the usual custom. The COURIER and KANSAN factions soon after the year opened, cried "quits" and joined hands in editing the COURIER, which has since kept on the even tenor of its way. The Athletic association at its annual meeting elected officers without the slightest ill feeling being engendered and is a united and earnest body working for the best interest of athletics. There was never a time in the history of the University when there was a better and more friendly feeling between the students. There never was a time when better work was being done and when the literary spirit was stronger and more active than it is today. Never before was University life so full and complete. Witness the interest in the work of the Seminary of Political and Historical Science,"in the "Economic Conference," Adelphic, the Science, Kent, Philological, Modern Language and Pharmaceutical clubs. The interest in Athletics. The interest in oratorical matters. The interest in the musical organizations the glee, the mandolin and guitar clubs. Above all notice the earnest and conscientious work that is being done in the class room. Surely there is little time left for petty fight and squabbles which have no place in the life of a true University.
INTERESTING.
We have been allowed to see the advance sheets of the report of the Board of Regents to the Governor of Kansas. This report also contains the report of Chancellor Snow to the Regents. From this double report we have gleaned some interesting notes concerning the University, which will be found in this Holiday Courier. The general catalogue for 1890-91, just issued, has given us further opportunity to glean some late and authentic information about our institution. We therefore wish to state that whatever is found in this paper purporting to be statistics or statements of fact concerning the University may be relied on as authentic. This Holiday Courier will be read by many who have no personal knowledge of the University. We especially call the attention of these readers to the various references to the present condition of the University made in this paper.

We take pleasure in presenting to our readers and to the students of the University the enlarged Christmas edition of the Courier. When the Courier comes out again the old year of 1890 will have passed and the new year of 1891 will be with us. The Courier can begin the new year with a good heart, feeling that whatever the short comings of the paper have been, it has never ceased to work for the best interests of the student body and of the University. The editors have tried their best to make the Courier a clean, gentlemanly representative sheet and whether their efforts have been successful or not it is left for the reader to determine for himself. It must be admitted that the Courier falls short of being an ideal weekly journal, but if earnest, faithful effort counts for anything the Courier should continue to improve. It has been and will be the aim of the Courier to encourage and promote true class and University spirit and to decry any small and petty spirit between the different factions. The Courier that all recognizes students are members of the State University of Kansas, and just in proportion to its prosperity, and welfare will be the prosperity and wellfare of the institutions within its walls. The Courier thus inscribes for its motto, "Love and Loyalty for the University." All policies which look toward the advancement of any special interests without regard for the welfare of the institution, it regards as short sighted and fatal. When the time comes that all the students can raise their voices in unison with a loyal cheer of love and admiration for their Alma Mater; at that time Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hawk, K. U. will sound as it never did before, and at that time will the University be truly a great institution and successful in all her undertakings. The Courier wishes you all a "Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year."

Degree of Self-Support Among the Students.

Elsewhere some statistics concerning the occupations of the parents of the University students, showing that the farmers, of the state were better represented than any other class of people in the University, were given. The sons of poor men, or men of but moderate means are more numerous than the sons of the wealthy. As further proof of the fact that poor boys are no; the exception and rich ones the rule among students of the University, the following statistics obtained by personal interviews and showing the degree to which the University students are self-supporting, are presented:
In the department of the Sciences, the Literatures and the Arts, out of 313 students questioned, 95, or $30\frac{1}{2}$ per cent are entirely self supporting, (i. e., earn the money which they expend in gaining a college education); 13, or 4 1-6 per cent, are one-half selfupporting; 22, or 7 per cent, are one-quarter selfsupporting; and 193, $38\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, depend entirely on their parents for support. In the school of Law, where the students are mostly older than in the department of Liberal arts, 28 out of 39 are entirely selfsupporting; 2 are one-half selfsupporting, and 9 aae not at all selfsupporting. In the school of Pharmacy, 6 out of 25 are entirely selfsupporting; 5 are one-half selfsupporting; 1 is one-fourth selfsupporting; and 16 are not at all selfsupporting
In the whole University, 34 per cent of the students are entirely self supporting; $ \frac{5}{4} $ per cent are one-half self supporting; 6 per cent are one-fourth self supporting; and $ \frac{54}{4} $ per cent are not at all self supporting. That is to say, of the young men and young women who are receiving that training and education at the University of Kansas which shall fit them to be worthy citizens of a great state, more than one-third are entirely self supporting, and almost one-half are in some measure self supporting.
Among the young men,40 per cent are entirely self supporting and 17 per cent are not entirely,but partially self supporting.
Comment on these figures is unnecessary. The University of Kansas is manifestly an institution offering the poor young man an equal chance with the rich one; and better yet, this chance is not being lost sight of by the earnest young men and women of the state.

OPTIONAL STUDIES.
The Optional System in Successful Operation at the University.
The new catalogue shows that nearly 150 optional studies are open to selection by the Juniors and Seniors. With the addition of the two new courses General Language and Latin English, making six regular courses through Freshman and Sophomore years, the selection here of courses is almost equivalent to optional work. These courses vary considerably in the languages and in the amounts of mathematics and sciences with their substitutions:
The dividing up of the optionals into Major, Minor and Free Elective courses has been partially done away with. The term Minor has been dropped. The following are the rules for 1891-2 regulating work in the Junior and Senior classes:
In addition to the prescribed studies and exercises [which are two forensics or equivalent theses in each term] each Junior and Senior is required to pursue in each term three full studies or their equivalent, chosen by himself from the list of Optional Studies, in accordance with the following regulations:
1. Before entering upon the Junior year, each student must select some one line of study which he desires to pursue through the Junior and Senior years. This line of study shall constitute the student's Major Course; and it must be one of the following Major courses offered by the Faculty, and described in detail under the several lists of studies covered by the various departments, namely:
I. Botany, Entomology, and Meteorology.
II. Zoology, Anatomy. and Physi-
ology.
III. Geology and Paleontology.
IV. Natural History (I, II, and
III, combined).
V. Chemistry.
VI. Mineralogy.
VII. Physics.
VIII. Mathematics.
IX. Philosophy.
X. History and Sociology.
XI. American History and Civies.
XII. Greek.
XIII. Latin.
XVI. Greek and Latin.
XV. German.
XVI. French.
XVII. French and German.
XVIII. English.
2. Before the beginning of each term of the Junior and Senior year, each student must select, in addition to his major, two full studies, or their equivalent, as follows: He must have in the Junior and Senior years, in addition to his major, eight full terms' work; of these, four terms may be restricted to two of the following groups, two terms in each; and two may be in the same group with the major; the remaining four terms must be in four groups distinct from one another,
and also from all others in which studies have been chosen.
A. Natural History.
B. Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Pharmacy.
C. Physics, Astronomy.
D. Engineering.
E. Mathematics.
F. Philosophy.
G. History and Political Science.
H. Greek and Latin.
I. German and French.
J. English.
K. Music.
3. No student may take any optional study for which his previous training has not fitted him; nor may any study marked with a star $ ^{*} $ in the catalogue be chosen without previous consultation with the instructor in that study.
4. In making their choice of studies, students must avoid any conflict of hours, by arranging their studies according to the table of recitations.
Something New.
INDOOR BASE BALL.
It has always been a source of regret that base ball, foot ball, cricket, tennis, etc., could not be played in the winter. In the summer and fall these games afford ample exercise for the average man, but in winter he is shut up in the house and any exercise he may get will come from the wood pile or snow on the side walk. Skating is a splendid exercise but coupled with the fact that it requires skill and experience it has the draw back that in the mild climate of Kansas we have only about a whole week of skating each winter.
Some one has come to the front and so modified the great national game that it may be played indoors. The size of the field is very much reduced and the ball is enlarged. The diamond is only twenty-seven feet square and the pitcher box is but twenty-two feet from the home plate.
The ball is about six inches in diameter and is made of some soft material like the yarn ball of our boyhood days. The catcher finds no use for mask, gloves or protector as the pitching is slow and perfectly straight. Foul tips are very frequent but owing to the softness of the ball they do no great damage. The players instead of wearing plates wear rubber soled shoes which prevent slipping on the hard board floor. The bat, which is shorter than the ordinary one, is limited to one and one half inches in diameter at the larger end. Owing to the shortness of the run a fielder has to recover himself very quickly to throw a man out at first and the first base man must be a good fielder as the ball, owing to its momentum, is thrown entirely out of shape thus making it very hard to catch. The catcher has, by far, the most work to do and he must be a quick active person. The out fielders have a soft time as the ball is very seldom batted out of the diamond except on some one's error. There are winter rules that apply
to this game while all the others resemble the ordinary, game very much. The base runner is not allowed to leave his base until the ball is in the catchers hands or has passed him. The game affords good exercise and is far ahead of polo, hand ball or Indian foot ball. The rules are stringent and although there are many errors base hits are correspondingly rare.
Clubs are springing up all over the country and Chicago has over fifty organized clubs alone. The University of Wisconsin has a club organized and are playing good ball. They played a game last week with a score of 1 to 2. The nine innings were played in an hour and a quarter. We have a splendid opportunity to try this new game here at the University. The Armory, which could be rented for a small sum, would furnish a very good field for experimenting with this new departure, and there we might find something that will fill the bill for legitimate exercise during the cold months of winter. The K.C. Journal of last Sunday contains the rules of the game.
The University's Attendance.
The following shows the attendance, arranged according to departments and classes, for the three academic years, 1888-9, 1889-90, 1890-1 (for this year the figures were made up at the end of the first half of the first term,) will be read with interest. During this time the preparatory classes have been dropped one by one, the sub Freshman class numbering 207 in 1888-9, and but 38 in 1890-1. The close of this academic year will witness the complete disappearance of the preparatory department. The attendance in the collegiate department has been steadily increasing; it was 133 in 1888-9, and is now 289.

UNIVERSITY PROPERTY.
What We Have and How Much it is Worth.
The property of the University consists of lands, buildings, and the books, museums, machinery, and other appliances used in the work of instruction. The lands, buildings, books, and ordinary illustrative apparatus can be easily estimated as to value, but the collections in Natural history and other treasures of the museum have a great and uncertain financial value. There are, for example, small specimens worth thousands of dollars each. Valuations of all sorts have been given conservatively, and it is safe to say that they might have been put at a considerably higher figure and no untrue impression be conveyed. The estimate is as follows:
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.

University Buildings.
The University now has five buildings, all fully occupied. In the main building, of 54 rooms, is the large University hall capable of seating 1,200 people, the offices of the chancellor and the secretary and treasurer of the University, the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Physics department, the Chemical Museum, the lecture rooms with professors' studies for the languages (English, Greek, Latin, German and French), mathematics, history and political science, philosophy, the art studio, and (occupying the rooms but badly crowded) the University library and reading room. The carpenter shop, cloak rooms, superintendent's office, library storage room, battery room, etc., are on the basement floor.
Snow Hall, a beautiful building admirably adapted for the purposes of instruction in natural history, contains the laboratories, lecture rooms, and museum hall for theoretical and practical work in botany, entomology, meteorology, geology, zoology, anatomy, physiology, and taxidermy. This building and its collections have acquired a national
reputation. No money ever expended for the erection of a public building in the state of Kansas has accomplished so satisfactory results as the $50,000 appropriated for this structure.
The Chemistry building contains eleven rooms, occupied as assaying rooms, laboratories, lecture rooms, and offices. There rooms are too small for the present needs of the University, not one of them being of sufficient size to accommodate the Freshman and Sophomore classes. This building is also occupied by the School of Pharmacy. One of the pressing needs of the University is the erection of a separate building for the School of Pharmacy. The druggists of the state unite with the University authorities in urging the necessity of such a building at the earliest possible date.
North College, or old University building, which had been unused since the removal to Winfield of the shool for the feeble-minded, has been thoroughly repaired, and now furnishes satisfactory quarters for the Law and Music schools.
The Boiler house, besides containing the battery for steam heating of all the building, also contains the dynamo and engine room, and the machine shops connected with the Electrical Engineering work. and in fact the entire department of Physics, is at present crowded into places separated from each other, and not originally intended for these purposes. Next to the need of Library building is undoubtedly a building for the Department of Physics.

Farmers' Sons and Daughters. OCCUPATION OF PARENTS OF STUDENTS.
Too often is it said that higher education, the advantages of the college and university, are for the son and daughter of the rich man; that the poor man must give his small income to support those institutions of higher learning maintained by the state, but his daughter and his son cannot share the educational advantages thus generously offered by the combined efforts of the people. It is maintained that the attendance upon institutions of higher learning is made up exclusively of the sons and daughters of wealthy men, of bankers, of successful professional men, of capitalists, and that the worthy working classes are constrained, by considerations of expense, from taking advantage of opportunities which they would gladly embrace. The following statistics, concerning the occupations of the parents of the students of the University of Kansas, show how unfounded is any such assertion made with reference to this University:
Farmers (including stock raiders,
dairmen, horticulturists, etc.) ... 58 per cent
Banks and capitalists (including
banking firms, merchants, etc.) ... 5 per cent
Professional men (including doctors,
ministers, lawyers, teachers, edi-
tors, civil and mining engineers,
artisans, etc.) ... 21 per cent
Merchants and tradesmen (including
drugstrials, millers, real estate men,
growers, dry goods men, harness
managers, etc.) ... 19 per cent
Artizens (including carpenters,
laborers, blacksmiths, contractors,
jobbers, architects, quarrymen,
sanders, etc.) ... 5 per cent
Miscellaneous (including railroad
agents, commercial travelers, back
district bus drivers, boarding house
keepers, revenue agents, clerks, abstractors,
railroad foremen, county officials,
etc.) ... 12 per cent
The foregoing figures show the percentages of the various classes, based on occupations, as represented by the students of the whole University. If we turn our attention to the various departments of the University, we find the different classes represented as follows: DEPARTMENT OF THE SCIENCES, THE
10
ART OF THE SCIENCES, THE LITERATURES AND THE ARTS.
LITERATORS AND THE ARTS.
Out of 303 students in this department, 103, or 34 per cent of all, are sons and daughters of farmers; the fathers of 40 are merchants, of 22 are physicians, of 19 are bankers and capitalists, of 12 are real estate men, of 13 are lawyers, of 11 are ministers, of 8 are teachers, of 5 are druggists, and among the remainder, editors, horticulturists, civil engineers, carpenters, etc., etc., are represented.
The schools of Music and Art are not fully organized as departments of the University. An investigation shows that farmers' girls hold their own in point of numbers and quality of work done. Evidently the advantages offered by the University of Kansas are not barred to the sons and daughters of Kansas farmers.
SCHOOL OF LAW.
4
Out of a total of 42 students, the fathers of 24 are farmers, of 5 are merchants, of 2 are physicians, of 2 are lawyers; the father of 1 is an editor, of 1 a laborer, and of 1 a stock raiser. Thus more than 57 per cent of the law students in the

Glee Club.
Luther sells sweet oranges.
We hope great things from both our glee club and mandolin club.
Last Friday evening the K. S, U. Glee club gave its first concert in Lawrence at the opera house. The parquette was comfortably filled while the balcony was almost bare. The concert which was given deserved a much better house. The boys all show decided improvement in singing. The songs "Spider," "Michael Roy,""The Crow Song," "Solomon Levy,""Old Kentucky," and "Hash, a Medley," were especially well rendered and showed much hard work both on the part of the club and Professor Penny. The K. S, U. Mandolin club furnished the music and were encored every time they gave a selection.
AMUSEMENTS.
See those gilt Music Folios at Bell's. They make elegant Christmas presents.
Referring to the "Fireman's Ward," which will be presented at the opera house next Monday evening, the Des Moines Leader says:— "Miss Ollie Redpath in the 'Fireman's Ward' last night at the Grand opera house drew well, considering the weather. It is one of the strongest plays seen here this season, and abounds in excellent climaxes and strong human interests. It may be called a great play by a great company. Miss Redpath the star, was something grand and her singing and dancing captured the audience. The fire scene was very realistic, the support good and the comedy element is most laughable and the specialities and singing good, and modest and neat." Seats on sale Friday morning.

The Lawrence Business College.
for more than twenty two years the Lawrence Business College has continued its existence without a break. During this time more than 5,000 students have been in attendance, and of these over 500 have completed some prescribed course of study. Thess graduates are nearly all occupying good situations or have launched out in business for themselves, and all of them are doing well financially.
The different departments in this institution are as follows: Business, shorthand and typewriting, English, penmanship and academic or preparatory to the University. In addition to this, pupils in any department may join the military department, band orchestra, college chorus or college congress without extra cost.
The young man of today who starts out to win his way in the world, should be able to write a plain, legible, business hand, keep a set of books, understand his legal rights and obligations in the business world, be skilled in all sorts of commercial calculations, be able to compose a good business letter and be able to operate the typewriter.
Business men are in search of skilled help. Life is too short for them to take young men into their office and train them. You are now expected to prepare yourself by special preparation at some good business school.
The Lawrence Business College gives you this special training as cheaply and as thoroughly as any school in the country. There is no need of your going east to get a commercial education. Lawrence offers sufficient inducements to all who desire such an education. Here in the Athens of the West, in the educational centre of the state, is a commercial school, thoroughly equipped in every respect. Provided with the best and most competent faculty the institution has ever known; with well appointed class rooms, study rooms, well lighted, ventilated and heated by steam. A fine library in the building, accessible to all students. School located close to depots and postoffice, and in the center of the business part of the city.
Before deciding to attend any other school send for a catalogue of this institution.
Handsome People.
The third lecture of the Y. M. C.
A. lecture course delivered by L.
F. Copeland Thursday evening, was
listened to with great interest by a
large audience. Mr. Copeland is a favorite with Lawrence people and his lectures are always well received. His subject "Handsome People," was exceptionally well handled. The vein of humor which pervades Col. Copeland's lectures is highly enjoyable, and prevents any possible sense of weariness among his hearers. The next lecture in this course will be given by Robert T. Burdette in the opera house, January 13. Burdette is so well known as to need no recommendation. Suffice it to say that all who wish to hear the most popular humorous lecturer now upon the American platform should hear Burdette.

HIGH SCHOOLS.
A Gradually Growing List of Kansas High Schools Which Prepare the Students for the University.
Anticipating the effect of the action of the legislature in the excision of the Sub-Freshman work, the Regents and Faculty have sought to bring the University education within the reach of every high school of the state. This has been accomplished, not by essentially lowering the standard of admission to the Freshman class, but by adding a new high-school preparatory course, in which only one foreign language is required. This course substitutes a more thorough study of the English tongue for the second foreign language previously required, and meets the objection sometimes made, that the high-school courses leading to the University are not practical courses, adapted to meet the needs of a great majority whose advanced education will not extend beyond the high-school curriculum. The new Latin English preparatory course<sup>m</sup> is a good course for those who do not go, as well as those who do go to the higher schools of learning, and will undoubtedly be the means of bringing into connection with the University many whose education would otherwise have ended with the high-school.
In the University catalogue of 1889-90 nineteen high-scholars were credited with fully preparing students for the Freshman class, in one or more of the regular courses, and thirty-six schools were credited with preparing students for the Freshman class, not fully, but falling short not more than three terms' work. In the catalogue for 1890-91, recently issued, the first list, or list of schools which completely prepare students comprises forty-one high-schools or more than twice as many as listed the year previous; the second list contains thirty schools.
In the first list are the highschools of Abilene, Atchison, Belleville, Beloit, Cawker City, Chanute, Cherryvale, Concordia, Chapman, Emporia, Eureka, Fort Scott, Girard. Hays City, Hiawatha. Horton, Hutchinson, Iola, Jewell City, Kansas City, La Cygne, Lawrence, Leavenworth, Marion, Minneapolis, Neodesha, Newton, Paola, Pleasanton, Sabetha, Salina, Sedgwick,
Seneca, Solomon City, Sterling, Topeka, Wamego and Wichita.
The remarkable increase in the year is due to the adoption, by the University, of the new Latin English and General Language courses agreed upon at a joint meeting of city superintendents and University faculty members, and to the earnest effort on the part of the University authorities to induce the superintendents of schools almost preparing students for the University, so to add to their high-school courses that their graduates shall be fully prepared for admission to the freshman class. The effort on the part of the University to establish a close and mutual beneficial relation with the high-schools of the state, has met with a warm and ready response from the superintendents and principals. The adoption of the new courses led up to by a special high school preparatory course has been received as a just and wholly commendable action on the part of the University, and the spirit shown by the high schools of the state is extremely gratifying.
The Harvard Victory.
It does not speak badly for the stuff of which Harvard athletes are made, that through fourteen years of steady defeat they have persevered in the game. Discouragements and disappointments have been many during these fourteen years, but they are all forgotten in the victory finally achieved. The game was a very satisfactory one for more reasons than that it was a Harvard victory, however; it was not marked by a single disagreeable feature. The teams met as college brothers enjoyed in a friendly contest, and played the game on its own merits. Such an exhibition must necessarily take away what little force there is left in the argument of finical persons who still claim that foot-ball is necessarily a brutal game. As played at Springfield by Yale and Harvard it is the most manly of all sports.—Harvard Advocate.
The special feature of the next commencement will be the quartercentennial celebration. Twenty-five years of life and growth finds the University in condition to congratulate itself most heartily. This congratulating will take the form of an anniversary celebration. The presidents of

OUR FACULTY.
Some Interesting Statistics About the Faculty of the University.
The University is dependent more on its Faculty than on its buildings or its equipment. If the men and women who conduct the various departments of instruction are models of intellectual and moral strength, good work will surely be done—not otherwise. The University of Kansas has men in its faculty who could easily earn the hishest professional salaries or incomes, but who wholly ignore the question of money in their choice of a life's work.

Sunflower Notes From the Kansas Colleges.
Prof. W. H. Carruth, of K. S. U. is earning a very enviable reputation as a referee in the inter-collegiate foot ball matches.—Highland University Nuncio.
A. W. Myers was the successful orator at Washburn college, last Friday evening.
Washburn, Baker, Normal and K. S. U. will be represented on the program of the State Teachers' association which meets next week in Topeka.
The college of Emporia recently beat Ottawa University in tennis. The singles resulted in favor of Emporia by the score of 6-1; 6-2 The doubles by the score of 6-4; 6-4; 6-4. The Emporia players were Byers and Church and the Ottawa men, Parker and Ganse. The play was not of a very high order.
In tennis—Now for Washburn,
Baker and K. S. U. next spring.
College Life.
As the athletic season closes the following may be considered leaders in the different lines. In foot ball the Baker eleven, by virtue of defeating the K. S. U. and Washburn teams, may claim the pennant as the Ottawa and Emporia teams will not dispute the claims with them. In base ball Emporia by virtue of annihilating the K. S. U. and K. S. N. S. teams, the only clubs who dared to oppose them, holds undisputed claim to the honor of being the leader. In tennis no inter-collegiate tournaments have been held that could point to the best team. While K. S. U. has concededly the best players, their right to the championship in negative rather than positive.-College Life.
It is highly probable that next spring will see the formation of a "triangular league" between K. S. U., Baker and Washburn for base ball, tennis, and foot ball contests.
ball, tennis, and foot ball contests. This is the way in which the Baldwin Ledger, a paper edited by Referee Morehead and his brother, reports the result of the last foot ball match. The comments at the bottom are from the Lawrence Record: "Now the score stood I2 to 10 in favor of Baker with only five yards between her and her opponent's goal, which undoubtedly would have given another touch down to Baker and probably a goal, but the time being called for a few minutes, Jimmie Atherton, who had the ball, gave in to the big ninny of a center rush to amuse him till the game was started again, who started across the field toward Baker's goal line, acting just like a little boy who had on his first pair of pants. The umpure and referee of course called him back as the ball was dead, the K. S. U. hoodlums would not have it that way, and had no more sense than to openly declare to Prof. Carruth that if he decided against them they would remove him from the faculty. So gentle reader, you can see for your self what sort of students they are who are declaring that the victory
belongs to K. S. U., notwithstanding both the decisions of the umpire and referee."
"‘Komments are onnecessary. If the young men of K. S. U. who grew enthusiastic over what they thought was a victory are called 'hoodlums,' it is natural to infer that those mildeyed 'doughnuts' from Baldwin who beat the poor woman at the Santa Fe depot out of what they owed her for lunch, are representatives of Baker."
Washburn's Orator.
The local oratorical contest at Washburn was held last Friday evening. The successful orator is A. W. Myers, of Paxico, Waubaunsee county. Mr. Myers is eighteen years old, a senior and was the editor of the Reporter last year. His Oration was entitled: "The American Idea," and is decibedly forcible and exceedingly well delivered. There were three other contestants, J. L. Posten, who spoke on "The Higher Law," W. M. Hawkins, on "Pope Leo I," and J. F. Lawson, on "Freedom and Federation." The judges on thought and composition were Hon. G. W. Winans, Hon. D. W. Wilder, Rev. Richard Cordley. On delivery, Hon. John McDonald, Hon. T. D. Thacher and Hon. Irwin Taylor. The following were the markings of the judges:
Thought and Composition.
Form of Rank
Hider ... 9
orderly ... 8
finance ... 6
Myers ... 53
Lawson ... 52
Poston ... 50

Worlor ... 46
Theacher ... 46
McDonald ... 46

It will be noticed that Lawson followed Myers very closely in thought and composition and that Posten followed very closely in delivery, each one being marked first by one judge.
The Same Story.
Walter Sears, a former editor of the COURIER, now enrolled in the Ohio State University, finds as does every one else that the University of Kansas stands well among the leading educational institutions. He writes, in an interesting letter which space forbids us publishing in full: "When I applied for admission into the Ohio State University the president, Dr. W. H. Scott, said: 'You come from a splendid school and whatever record of work you bring, it will be accepted without question. I am personally acquainted with Dr. Snow and Prof. Canfield and both are talented educators and amiable gentlemen.' When I appeared before Prof. Chalmers, professor of English Literature, he said: 'I know the character of the work of the Kansas State University and I must freely admit it is a work of worth and excellence. Whatever you have done will bear its full equivalent here. I am pleased to know Prof. Dunlap, a man of the most marked ability.'"

ORATORICAL CONTEST
John N. Games Will Represent Baker at the State Content at Emporia.
From Thursday's Daily Journal.
The seventh annual contest of the Baker University oratorical association was held last night in Centenary Hall at that place. After the singing of America by the audience, an invocation by Dr. Hoss, and a piano forte solo, Sam McRoberts delivered the first oration on the program, entitled "The West." Mr. McRoberts is a pleasing speaker, but lacks the force of an orator. His oration was not so visionary as some of the others, being on a subject he knew something about.
Geo. E. Davis was the next speaker,
He called his oration "The Palladium of
our Republic," and it was his opinion
that the Palladium was the schoolhouse.
He was forcible at times, but seemed ill
at ease, and his gestures were not the
best.
After a vocal solo, John N. Games spoke on the "civilization of the Anglo Saxon"—another subject not entirely new. Mr. Gaines was forceful in delivery and several times got well warmed up. Merton S. Rice had an oration on "Factors in Civilization" which he delivered well. Rice has a fine voice but lacks experience.
After another piano forte solo W. C. Markham delivered a well written oration on "Thought Foci." Mr. Markham has a polished delivery. The closing oration was delivered by H. T. Davis on the subject "Two Races in America." His delivery was good. Messrs Powell and Hammond then gave a scene from Julius Cesar and then the president announced the decision of the judges: John N. Gaines, 1st; W. C. Markham, 2nd; Geo. E. Davis, 3rd; Mc Roberts, 4th; H. T. Davis 5th;Mr.H. Rice, 6th.
Leland T. Powers.
The second entertainment of the University course was a success in every way. Mr. Powers' impersonations of the characters in David Copperfield were true to life, and to say that all were charmed would be to state the case mildly. The ability of Mr. Powers to change from the old rascal Urish Heep to the grandiloquent Wilkins Micawber is wonderful. The singing of Mrs. Louis Baldwin Powers was thoroughly appreciated and she adds very much to the enjoyment of the program. The University course has been a great success thus far and if the future attractions give as much satisfaction, it will have been the greatest course ever given in Lawrence. Mr. Powers in speaking of the course said: "You have an unusually fine course, I may say a splendid course. I notice that you have no 'fillers' on your course but that your attractions are all of the first rank. The two musical attractions which you have on your course, the mandolin, banjo and guitar club and the Lotus Glee club are the finest organizations of the kind on the stage and you could not have made a better selection had you known all about this class of attractions." If Mr. Powers comes here again and gives David Garrick or the Rivals, the Opera House will not hold the people that will flock to see him. The next attraction will be George Kennan on Feb. 10th.
Sigma Chi.
With the resignation of Bowersock and Riddle the chapter life of Sigma Chi in the University will likely cease. 'The Alpha Xi chapter of Sigma Chi was chartered in the winter of 1884 but no initiations were held until the following May. The neucles from which the Sigma Chi chapter sprung was a gathering of students who used to meet secretly in the basement of the "Old Town Clock," as an anti-secret secret organization. Finally the organization split up and both factions petitioned Sigma Chi for a charter. The result was that the faction headed by C. S. Smith, '87, received the charter. The other faction finally applied for and received a charter from Sigma Nu, and the anti-secret secrets were properly cared for.
The charter members of the Sigma Chi were C. S. Smith, '87; B. L. McAlpine, '87; Howard F. Albert, '85; George Metcalf, '85; Dan Kennedy, J. W. Shultz, Wren Shultz and B. C. Preston. The initiations were made by Henry Lichty of the Alpha Epsilon chapter of the University of Nebraska and the initiations were made in the house two doors north of the Congregational church now occupied by the Woods. The first initiates were Fred Holmes Bower-sock and Fred Barnes.
The new athletic field at Amherst college has been named after Prof. Blake of our University. It was to Prof. Blake's efforts while a senior at Amherst, that the old athletic grounds were obtained, graded and equipped. A gentleman recently gave a large sum to Amherst for a new field to be one of the first in the East, and the new field has been named after Prof. Blake, a deserving compliment.
CHEMICAL BUILDING.
Stop at Luther's grocery, 721 Mass. St., Lawrence, Kan.
Prof. Blake has received several thousand dollars worth of valuable apparatus from Germany for use in the Physics department.
The gas assay furnace recently purchased will be put in place during the holidays, ready for the clas next term.
The class in Qualitative Analysis has nearly finished work upon the metals, and will be ready for lectures on acids after the vacation.
Mr. Case has been exposing dry plates on the Junior Pharmies. An excellent negative was obtained.
E. C. Franklin writes from Berlin that he has discovered a perfect freezing aparatus, namely the German porcelain stove. One must wear an overcoat and wrap up in a blanket to keep warm in the house. He will probably go to Strasburg for the next semester.
When the Chemical Building was erected a vacant space was left under the porch at the north east angle. Advantage has been taken of this, and a door has been cut from the newly finished basement room into it. This fire proof room will be used as a dark room for Photography, and also as a place to store easily inflammable chemicals.
A Tie Game.
The foot-ball match between Baker University and the Kansas City Y. M. C. A., resulted in a score of 6 to 6. Last Saturday the second game of American Rugby football was played in Kansas City at the Y. M. C. A. Athletic Park with about four or five hundred spectators in attendance. The team work of the "Bakerites" excelled the Y. M. C. A., but the "Apostles" were superior in fine players, and swift runners. Neither of the teams played with the snap and vim which characterizes the K. S. U. team's playing. K. S. U., we mildly and urbanely state, with cap in hand, and with our obsequious bow, is the champion team of the state.
Liddeke Honored.
When the Philosophy class at Harvard had completed the study of Descarte's philosophy they were required to write a thesis on the subject. When they had been examined the professor in charge announced that the thesis written by Mr. Liddeke was much the best, and that his criticism showed very subtle thought and a keen appreciation of Descarte. Mr. Liddeke was one of the best members of our class of '00, and his friends will be glad to learn of his success at Harvard.
He is taking a course in philosophy, which he says is very popular there, the lecture rooms always being full.

Emperor William on Education.
Emperor William on Education. The one ruler in Europe who today dares to take his own head for things is Emperor William of Germany. His recent speech on education may be regarded as one of the most remarkable and progressive utterances of the time. Germany during the modern period has led the world in educational systems. From her scholars and teachers other nations have borrowed courses of studies and methods. When, therefore, William says that he, as father of his country, can no longer permit the present style of education to go on he proclaims nothing less than a revolution.
The emperor says that something must be radically wrong when 74 percent of German high school children are short sighted. When he himself was at college eighteen out of his class of twenty-one were shortsighted and some could not see the length of the table with their glasses on. He wanted soldiers, the people stood in need of efficient servants and intellectual leaders. None of these could come from the ranks of overlearned and so called educated people. Then the emperor made the remarkable statement that the great number of these "learned and so called educated people" were a real menace and danger to the state.
The census shows some interesting facts connected with the immense live stock interests of the west. The number of cattle ranging at large on the plains is now 10,000,000, 3,000,000 less than it was ten years ago. The reason is not that the number of cattle is so much smaller than it was ten years ago, but that the land has now been taken up for homesteads, and the cattle are on inclosed farms and ranches. The census shows further that the number of sheep in the west has increased 9,000- 000, being now 28,000,000. The northwest appears to be turning from hogs to sheep for profit, there being only 4,000- 000 swine in that region in place of the 8,000,000 told off by the last census.
William said that the shortsightedness of the Germans came from low hours and bad ventilation in the school rooms and these must both be stopped. Latin and Greek must be thrown out of the curriculum, for the Fatherland wanted young Germans, not young Romans or Greeks. Furthermore, the country wanted young Germans who were before all and above all all acquainted with the government and history of their own country. To the United States as forcibly as to Germany the emperor's speech on education applies. American educators ought to consider it carefully.
Here is what The Philadelphia Ledger recommends to persons who are afraid the banks will break and they themselves will loss all their savings: "Timid people cannot do better than to hunt up their creditors, large and small, and pay their bills. They will thus get rid of the care of at least a part of their money and help to relieve the money market by putting their cash in circulation."
Parnell says that Irishmen in England gave him his first godspeed sixteen years ago when he began to work for the liberation of Ireland, and they have stood by him ever since. He adds that they will have no cause to repent this in the future, and he dedicates himself anew to the good cause.
