"FEARLESS FRED."
Fred Funston, Explorer and Hunter, Heard From.
The Courier is permitted to look over a recent letter from Fred Funston to a chum, and is glad to carry some news of the adventurous University man to his many friends.
It will be remembered that Funston joined a government exploring and scientific expedition last fall and that the avowed object of the expedition was the exploration and scientific survey of the famous Death Valley in Southwestern California. Some 300 venturesome imbeciles have died in this eden from thirst and general dejection. Funston is still alive though very thirsty and more or less dejected. His letter is characteristic, vigorous and readable. We make the following extracts, slightly edited:
SOMEWHERE IN THE DESERT.
March 12, '91.
I am here. I am a bird. We are in sore trouble. One of the packers got his full of this litte the holiday jaunt and threw up his job. He had been throwing up his meals regularly for some time, Bailey (ornitholigist), Coville (botanist), and Nelson have gone on a two weeks' trip to the Vegas river a hundred miles southeast. The teamster who had gone to Daggett for supplies came in on horseback a few days ago and reported that he had abandoned the supply wagon stuck to the hubs in a soda fiat 130 miles south. Oh,Moses! Palmer [director of expedition] and he at once started for the wreck. Stevens is somewhere up north. Fisher [mammalogist] Dikeman, Bennett, Sai, cook, a packer and I are hung up in the desert here living on navy beans and jack rabbit. Old man, this beats Vesuvius. Worse than Greeley in the Arctic regions, or a Phi Delt at — a party. Sa-ay, did I tell you about living on black birds for four days? Shades of the Phi Delt club.
(Here are inserted sketches of the writer before and after living on blackbirds.)
I tell you, old man, you can't realize the awful desolation and loneliness of this land. If a circle with a diameter of 120 miles was drawn about our camp it would include three white men, besides our own party. One, a hermit, and the other two squaw men. They have mighty good reasons for staying here. No deputy sheriff could be hired to come here for a man. * *
It is only two weeks since Coville and I returned from that fool eight days' ride for the mail, but I am
going to try it again tomorrow alone. Am going to try another route in order to avoid the range and the consequent snow. By this way it is at least 125 miles. When you are inclined to cuss because Dave McClure is ten minutes late with the mail, think of riding 250 miles, as far as from Lawrence to Larned, over an uninhabited desert and you have an idea what this little stroll for the mail means. If nothing happens will make the trip in six days. The Indians in this country are harmless, thank goodness; Pintes and renegade Shoshones.
I am thinking of quitting of the exploring trade. I begin to have doubts about this Balboa-Cabeza de Vaca-Christofo Columbo business. Those blackbirds near did me, and I haven't discovered much beside an Albino Pinte and a consumptive horned toad. I intended to send him (the toad) in to you, but he shook me. By the way, speaking of toads, these Pinte Indians are queer dressers. They remind me of those quiet folks up in the classical museum.
Will write after I get to the post-office. If I get there. Oh, jolly!
They say that she was lovely on North Ohio Sunday evening. Some "Snow," however.
C. A. Peabody and Bryce Crawford have new (?) overcoats. E. P. Allen is out. How strange.
HODGE PODGE.
This is the time of the year when young men's thoughts turn tightly to base ball and tennis.
Lent has come and gone. Our landlady must now find some other excuse for not having meat once a week.
The Freshman class will take up Botany next week. A twenty mile tramp, —one flower, —oh my!
One of our last year's graduates recently had some cards printed. They read,
If our elocutionists can't lower their shrill voices a note or two we will all be forced to migrate to another hill.
John A. Rush,
Reporter,
Kansas City Journal.
Amateur Minstrels, Midsummer Night's Dream, Trial by Jury, Holy City etc. What have we done? Where, oh where, is the end?
Messrs Allen, Barnes and McKinon have arranged another excursion. To Italy this time. You can spend your vacation digging antiquities in Rome.
A certain student gave as his reason for taking studies in Prof Blackmar's department that they were easy. That same student is "easy" on the road to the insane asylum.

SOME people are down on the grip. We are' not; we respect it. Any little thing like that, that can floor a strong man, is bound to command our respect.
Not long since the University News came out and announced that Syracuse University was the first school that had enterprise enough to publish pictures of the college buildings and surroundings in their annual catalogues. Kansas State University has for ages past, printed a picture of the main building in its catalogue and for the last three years has presented to the public, through the same medium, engravings of all the buildings belonging to the institution. Again the West scores a hit and goes to the first.
WASHBURN Reporter is stirring them up again, a little ball here, a little tennis there and some oratory on the side. Its last issue has a good plea for the study of oratory-
If there is one thing tires us more than another it is the young man with a long serious face. You will find him most any place, but are quiet certain to find him talking to the professor after recitation. He looks as if he had lost his last friend; and to hear him talk one would think the world was about to deliver its peroration. He never read a yellow back noved or played hookey, when the writer was eating stolen watermelons he, perhaps, was studying his Sunday school lesson. We have stopped stealing water melons and he has stopped studying Sunday school lessons, but the results of early training is to be seen. We look back and know we did wrong, but see some sunshine; he looks back and sees nothing but a serious reflective childhood. He is now a young man in years but an old man in actions and looks. He has had no sorrow or trouble, but looks on the dark of life and consequently reflects only darkness. You never hear him crack a joke or see him do anything that is not becoming to a man of fifty. Life to him is but the connecting link, more or less painful, between two eternities. This may be right and perhaps we are wrong, but it always appeared to us that life is a great reality and we should get out of it what there is in it. Is it not far better to take things as they are, to make things pleasant and try to increase the amount of happiness in the world than to mope around and complain of the degeneracy of the age? It always seemed to us that the man who caused one fellow creature to smile and for a moment forget the real troubles of life—there are many—did more for humanity than he who conjured up in his pesimistic brain fancied wrongs and troubles and set the world to thinking.
Light and Dark.
If you have real trouble, keep it to yourself, or at least confide it to your immediate friends, and don't let the world know it, it would laugh at you. The world has no sampathy and has often been called cold hearted. Your confident should be a generous warm hearted person who by his kind sympathizing word, hearty hand shake and pleasant smile will help roll away the stone from the cave of discontent and therein cast the mellow sunlight of his whole-souled personality and melt the ice that is around your heart. If you are able to swallow your trials and keep them down so much the better; you will have conquered yourself which is more than conquering a kingdom, but if not, you may find one and perhaps two sympathizing persons who will help you bear your burden and to them the world owes a debt of gratitude.
If the world is going to the bad, if the people are getting worse, if the devil reigns supreme why just let her go; you, with your feeble efforts, long face and dismal mien can not stop it, so brighten up, cheer up, laugh, smile, look on the bright side, for it is said: "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die."
The newspaper business in not what it seems. Nine out of ten men think they could run a newspaper to a finish. From the advice poured in upon us we are lead to believe that the per cent is even larger. We do not wish to infer that we consider the labor of running this sheet is in any way to be compared with*the labor of running any of our dailies; but we know for a fact that the amount of original matter that we publish every week exceeds that which is published by the average country weekly by a hundred per cent. We knew a man once who
thought he was a born newspaper man, he had lots of things to say, had been thinking of them for years, knew that the public was waiting with open arms for his paper; did not like the way his home paper was run, had lots of advice to give, but the editor did not seem to think that way, and had a thousand other reasons why he should run a paper. He was then in business, (he was a success in that) but sold out and started a paper. His first issue was a grand success, in it could be found the result of years of thought. It was altogether a very good paper. The next issue was where the rub came; he still had a few ideas left and gave them expression and then he was done. This issue contained a half column of original stuff and the rest was plate. The third issue was all plate except a notice that the paper was for sale; the fourth issue was the same with the sale notice in larger type, and the fifth issue is yet to appear. This was a case of little dog trying to fill a big collar.
Now if it happens that there appears something in a paper that you do not like or think is not applicable; do not warm under the collar and think that you should be running a paper but just take it cool and give the editor a chance; he may make a mistake once in a while but he generally gets pointed in the right direction sooner or later. He needs your encouragement more than censure.
SINCE the finding of Professor Bancrofts body in Dyer's pond, Cranston, many conjectures have been made as to the manner in which he met his death. President Andrews, of Brown University does not believe that he committed suicide. Dr. Andrews says there is nothing that could be called proof that he was out of his mind. "He was undoubtedly depressed and suffering from insomnia," he said. "He went to Cranston suffering from insomnia and mental depression, coupled with some fever. He came along to this bridge, where there was water. He crept down to the side of that water to moisten his feverish brow, and in this act slipped in accidentally. I think this is the most rational view to take of it, for at this spot a handkerchief was found. If he had wanted to commit suicide, he would have jumped into the water."
A movement is on foot to establish at Yale an infirmary or home for students, where, in case of sickness or accident they may find the good food and careful nursing so essential to recovery and impossible to secure in college dormitories. The home will be under the care of a competent matron and man-servant. It is proposed that all persons able to do so shall be paying inmates of the home, but in cases where it is impossible, free rooms and care will be provided. Rooms will also be provided in the home for friends who come from a distance to care for the sick. The infirmary will cost about $75,000, part of which, however, is to form a fund for its maintenance. The ladies interested in the plan include the wives of many of New York's prominent citizens, and they unobtedy will succeed in raising the money necessary to build and equip a suitable building.
A new college is to be opened at Lake Charles, the chief town in South-western Louisiana, about thirty miles from the Texas border. The movement is a result of home missionary work co-operating with Southern people in an endeavor to meet the great educational and religious needs of that section.
THE COURIER is spreading its wings and taking on some of the former freshness of the University Times.—Review.
We hope not brother, the Times was so fresh that it could not keep more than a year and then spoiled. Our lease on life is longer than that, we hope. We have been running now for nine years and if we mistake not, we will be here to make the acquaintance of the angel Gabriel. We thank you for your good intentions, but prefer to be compared to something that will reflect a little more credit on us. The Times mourners can produce no more proof of exceptional and unusual merit in its columns than they can show reasons for its existence or the place it filled.
We see several of our exchanges clamoring for the ideal paper. We would suggest that a paper should mirror the characteristics of the editor. If he takes life very serious let his editorials be long windy discussions, of most any thing, mixed with a large dose of advice. If the reverse, let his editorial page be bright, cheery and pleasant. The troubles of life will come soon enough, let us have some of the spice now. The ideal paper will be obtained only when you have the ideal man.
When the editors coat becomes frayed at the elbow do not think he has been laughing in his sleeve, it shows that he needs your subscription.
All arrangements have been made for the eastern trip which the University of Michigan base-ball nine is to take in the spring. Games will be played with the University of Vermont, Williams, Harvard, Yale, Trinity, and possibly with Prince- and University of Pennsylvania. Last year the team went as far east as Ithaca and there won from Cornell: score 1-0. There is considerable speculation as to what will be the result when New England colleges are played against.
Constitutional Amendment.
-
Today at 1 o'clock the share holders of the Oratorical association will be called to decide in reference to the proposed amendment to the constitution. The idea embraced in the first clause is a good one and should be put through. We cannot have too much oratory

in a school where the study of oratory is not even recognized. A contest in the fall will be beneficial in many respects; it will prepare students for the more important one to follow, will awaken an interest in the subject and bring money into the coffers of the association. The first part as we have said, is all right, but what follows is just the reverse. It is the greatest piece of shortsightedness that we have seen for some time, in fact it appears to us to be downright stupidity. What we refer to is the clause that says that the student winning the contest in the fall will be barred from entering the contest in the following spring. Who, we wish to enquire would be so foolish as to enter the contest with hopes of winning first place, and then incapacitate himself to enter the immeasurably more important one to follow? If this clause is inserted in the constitution, the contestants in the fall will be composed of a lot of students who know they have no chance in a regular contest and thus embrace this opportunity to get up and "spout." A man that had any oratorical ability whatever would not enter the contest for fear he would win first place; thus this measure would defeat what it is trying to promote. We hope the share holders will have the courage of their convictions in this matter and not incorporate in this organization anything so detrimental as this clause will turn out to be.
A Few Questions.
VIEWS.
As a student of the University I would like to inquire if there are any privileges, any personal rights, that belong to the student which the members of the faculty are required to respect. During the time I have spent at the University as a result of my inquiry and observation I have discovered that all rights and privileges seem to be monopolized by the instructors themselves. Ought not the forms of common civility at least be observed in the relation of the instructor to the student; or are we supposed to be merely "dumb driven cattle," wooden puppets who are required only to obey and endure all the insults and indignities that the caprice and ill-temper of an impertinent instructor may choose to heap upon us? Are the students of the University supposed to be a class of individuals who are unable to take care of themselves without the guidance of a paternal hand? Is it possible that we have not yet advanced beyond the province of the kindergarten school and consequently should be treated as mere children? Or are we young men and women pursuing the same object with one common purpose in view and that a college education? It is the duty of a primary teacher to conform to those rules by which a primary department should be governed, but it is neither proper nor just that the instructors of the Kansas State University nor any other university should resort to succa
If this is so, it is, to say the least a very unfortunate and unnatural condition of things. But I am happy to say that this does not apply to the professors in general but to a very limited few and in fact might be restricted to a single individual. I believe in obedience and discipline when confined within the proper limit; but there is a point where passive obedience to supercilious insolence becomes intolerable. Is it not overstepping the limits of class discipline to address a student in language which, if it is not positively insulting, is at least very humiliating? If he finds a mistake asisting from the carelessness or ignorance of the instructor should he be denied the right of calling the instructor's attention to it; or if he has a suggestion to offer to be informed in no very indirect manner to hold his peace or his grade will eternally suffer? These are a few of the things I would like to have answered.
puerete system to govern their classes. I believe that the University students are a deserving, bright and intelligent class of young men and women and as such are worthy of their instructor's respect. We should be treated in a manner becoming the dignity of students and not be compelled to tolerate the flings and jibes of a thoughtless teacher who seems to be unacquainted with the first principles of decorum.
If this is not sufficiently clear to those concerned I will endeavor the next time to be more explicit by using more direct language.
A FRESHMAN.
Athletic News.
Ball players, tennis players and oarsmen, all eager to get in turn for the spring contests, are watching the weather with an anxious eye.
Our ball club this spring will consist of six men of last year's team and three others yet to be chosen. Kinzie will be behind the bat. Sherman in the box while Simmons, Crawford and Hoag will play first base, second base and short respectively, with Smith in the field. This leaves third and two fields vacant. The three men who show the most proficiency in the practice games will be selected to fill these positions.
The Sporting Life is out with a new ball guide, their first venture. Its records are not all official. The rules of '90 are but little changed, there being but two of importance; one concerning substitutes and the other concerning base-running. As the rules are now a club may have as many substitutes present as it wishes, instead of two as was the case last year. A runner is not required to run within the three foot limit between home and first base.
It does not take an expert to tell that the nine must commence practicing immediately if anything is to be accomplished.
The tennis interests of the University will be ably looked after by
Several shells will be placed in the river before long for our oarsmen to revel in. Work will be begun in this line as soon as the condition of the weather will permit.
Negotiations are still pending with Baker and Washburn in regard to the formation of the Triangular league, but it is almost a settled fact that it will be organized permanently within a few days.

We are all right in regard to tennis and rowing, but need more ball players. Out of our present large number of students we should have twenty good ones.

Important Actions Taken by the Board at their Recent Meeting.
At the recent meeting of the Board of Regents which adjourned at 2 a.m. Saturday, the 4th, the appropriation of the University fund to its specific purposes for the year beginning July 1, 1891, was made. Certain other important matters were decided upon.
In the line of appropriations, the library fund was fixed at $5,500 this being $1,000 more than was appropriated last year. In view of the fact that the University has no more money this year than it had last, and that there were many more demands upon the fund necessary to the extension of the various departments of the University, the library comes out very nicely. In the way of additions to the faculty, an assistant is to be appointed in the department of history and sociology. The vacancy in the law department made by the resignation of Hon. Marcus Summerfield is to be filled by a regular assistant, half of whose time shall be devoted to the law department and the other half to the department of American History and Civics. An appropriation was made to provide an instructor in Elocution. Miss Sutliff of the library is appointed card cataloger and will devote her whole time to that important branch of library work. The University will no longer employ a carpenter regularly, but will have its work done by contract. An assistant taxidorist and osteologist is to be appointed.
Three thousand dollars were appropriated for the purchase of apparatus for the department of physics and electrical engineering. This sum will be devoted almost wholly to the extension of the electrical engineering plant. Nine hundred dollars are appropriated for beginning a geological survey of the state, to be under the charge of Prof. Williston. A liberal allowance for illustrative apparatus to be expended by the departments of Greek, Latin, German, French, and English, American History and Civics, and History and Sociology was made. A small appropriation for the issuance of University bulletins containing original research work by university men was made.
The departments of Civil Engineering and Electrical engineering were removed from the regular collegiate department of the University and placed in a school of engineering. This does away with the inconsistency heretofore apparent in the requirements for admission to the regular Freshman class of the University. The schools of music and art were combined, and hereafter will form the single school of music and art. Prof. Penny will thus have charge of the art department of the University as well as of the music.
An important action was that doing away with the present system of minor groups. The second grouping is made the same as the first or major grouping. A circular will be issued by the University explaining and illustrating the possibilities of optional selection under the new rule. A committee on Athletics as appointed consisting of Chancellor Show, Regents Gleed and Scott, who will select the athletic grounds. An appropriation was made to assist paying the expenses of a memorial volume on the occasion of the quarter centennial next June, which volume will include cuts of the five chancellors of the University.
Freshman trigonometry was made a 3-5 term study for all except engineering students, the remaining 2-5 of the term to be given to elementary physics or chemistry or hygiene. The work in astronomy was transferred from the chair of physics to the chair of mathematics. Prof. Miller is thus the professor of mathematics and astronomy. The chair of physics and astronomy was abolished and the chair of physics and electrical engineering was created in its stead with Prof. Blake in charge.
The next meeting of the regents will be held in July.
Communication.
To the Editor of the Courier:
In the last issue of the Courier, at hand, I notice an article on "An Eastern Man" which unworthily criticizes President Elliot, of Harvard, because of some offensive views concerning the west he is alleged to have expressed. The article is as unjust as it is ill-advised. The alleged remark probably had its origin in St. Louis, where President Elliot in an address urged upon the business men of that city the necessity of instructing the masses in the west in economics, and especially in the principles of sound currency. The address as I read it, was sound and truthful, but under the circumstances it may have been somewhat ill-advised. At any rate the good people of St. Louis were exercised over it, and denounced it as snubbery.
As there seems to be some chaffing in K. S. U., it will be proper to correct the false impression that may exist as to President Elliot's views. Soon after he had completed his tour in the west, the President addressed the members of Harvard University, on the relations between Harvard and the west, giving them the benefit of his observations. He told us that he had been well informed concerning the west, and had been prepared to see great improvements in the western educational system, but what he saw surpassed his expectations. The system or primary education was in general superior to that in the east. The high schools and grammar schools were superior in the grade of studies and in facilities for instruction, while their more specialized methods tended more to develop the individuality of the pupils.
In regard to the higher secondary education his remarks were scarcely less complimentary. The western state universities had in twenty years made the progress it had required Harvard two hundred years to make. They had in many important ways closely followed Harvard's lead, and among the universities named as conspicuously illustrating his statements, I am proud to inform you that K.S.U. received honorable mention. Of the students in western institutions, the president gave a favorable opinion, and thought it desirable for Harvard to have more of them. He said, however, that in view of the lack of physical training in western colleges the eastern institutions would in the future turn out men at least equal, if not superior in intellect and physique, which I consider an imminent probability, if the almost criminal neglect of students' health and physical training in K. S. U. may be taken as a fair example of this defect in western institutions.
President Elliot's address displayed fine power of observation and just appreciations and those of the western contingent at Harvard who heard it had every reason to feel jubilant. Western people may perhaps take exception to President Elliot's statement that western people do not rustle and hustle any more than they did in the east. Limited observations of my own, however, lead me to believe that it is true. In the race for wealth Yankee wit and ingenuity is aroused to its utmost capacity, here even more than elsewhere, local conditions demanding more system and less waste in business methods than is necessary in the west.
F. LIDDEKE, Cambridge, Mass., April 3, '91
The Midsummer Night's Dream.
The representation of Shakspele's Midsummer Night's Dream is an undertaking of no small magnitude, and is seldom attempted. In large cities the play is occasionally put on in the most elaborate style, and at a great expense for scenery and costumes. Amateurs naturally are slow to attempt it, but the athletic association has decided to do something startling and out of the usual order of things, and will bring out this play in a manner that will create a genuine sensation. It will be given with the full Mendhlhson music, which as rendered by a full orchestra under the leadership of Prof. J. II. Bell, will be a fine entertainment of itself. The play will be under the management of Miss Georgia Brown, and to say this is to say that it will be a grand success. The spectacular part of the play will be given by over sixty children drilled by Miss Brown in numerous beautiful dances, marches, and songs. The sentimental part will be rendered by a cast of characters of unusual strength, with Miss Georgia Brown as Hermia, Mrs. A. D. Weaver as Helena, Miss Munie Monroe as Hipolyta. Challiss and Whitman play the lovers' parts, A. G. Canfield, Duke Theseus; A. D. Weaver, Egeus. Eva Brown takes the part of Oberon and Virgie McCrory Titania. Little Annie Roche will make an ideal Puck.
The underplot will be rendered in excellent style with John Whitman as Nick Bottom, Abe Levy as Flute, Wever as Quince, Franklin as Sung, Babbitt as Starveling and Diggs as Snout. Special scenery will be painted by Rhoe, and Prof. Blake will introduce a number of novel electric light effects. The costumes will be as nearly historically correct as possible, and will form an important feature in the production of the play. The dates selected are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 23, 24, and 25. Every student should make it a point to attend, and all social events should be postponed during those evenings in order that all may have a chance to witness the most elaborate entertainment by home talent ever attempted in Kansas.
LEGAL NOTES.
The time of meeting of the Kent Club was settled permanently, at 7:30 instead of 1:30 p.m., at the last meeting of the club.
Judge Crozier will lecture in University chapel, under the auspices of the Kent Club, on the subject of "Election of a President," Thursday, April 16, at 8 o'clock p.m. Judge Crozier has occupied the distinguished positions of Judge of the Supreme court of the state. He is at present filling the position of Judge of the Leavenworth district. The lecture is one in which all should be deeply interested. His lecture will undoubtedly be very interesting as well as instructive to all who will avail themselves of the opportunity to hear him. All are cordially invited.

President Eliot addressed the Harvard students last evening on his recent observations among the educational institutes of the west, and compared the educational systems of the two sections of the country. He emphasized especially the popularity of the elective system in the west and the greater interest taken there in the subject of drawing. He said that he liked the spirit of work among western students. Said he: "I never meet a body of western students but what I think I would like to transplant them to the east," He commended the pride of western people in their educational institutions and assured their success and prosperity. Physical culture in the east, he said, surpassed that in the west. Western colleges were extending a welcome to practical teaching talent: He stated that he intended to speak soon on the "Western Town" from its material and social points.—Chicago Tribune
PRESIDENT ELIOT of Harvard took back in part what he said of the west as is shown in the appended.
thinking of the life led by a student our mind wanders back to the school boy days. We see it all now; it is just as real as if we were experiencing the same sensations over again. The fateful morning arrived (a moment in our young likes we had been anticipating with joy and fear) upon which we were to start to school. Our father took us by the hand, we have to reach pretty high, and led us, scared and trembling, up the broad stone steps. Those same steps where later on we used to sit during recess and play jacks because the marble would bounce. We did not then notice that the flat topped banisters of the step were worn smooth and bright by hundreds of boys and girls sliding down them, but we soon joined the merry, light hearted crowd and slid down the inclined plane as many children are doing now and will continue to do as the years roll by. When we first went into the hall, everything seemed so strange and bare, nothing but the white walls, oiled floors, high doors and broad stair case. We met the janitor and he directed us up to the principle's office. Here we entered the first act, first scene of the great drama of school life. While the principal, who was a gray haired, long bearded old man, was talking, our eyes wandered about the room and took in lots of books, papers, apparatus that we could not name, and a score of other things that were strange to us. Soon our case was settled and when our father left us we felt as if we had lost our only friend, and wished we were home cutting pictures out of the dictionary, or marking up the wall paper. The principal led us down stairs into the first room, and through a little hall that had lots of of hats, caps, and coats hanging up on the side. We hung our hat up on a hook and wondered if we would ever see it again. When we went into the room we saw lots of boys and girls sitting on little benches with desks in front of them. They were arranged in rows and looked like the blocks we had used to represent soldiers. The teacher was standing by her desk and had a square frame in her hand with lots of bright colored beads strung upon wires. She would push them along the wire and the scholars would count, one, two, three, up to ten. As soon as we were inside, the counting stopped, and about fifty pairs of bright, sparkling eyes were turned towards us. We could see them twinkle, and felt that we were being scrutinized, and a feeling of relief passed over us when the teacher told us to sit down at the front desk. The principal then left and it seemed that we were entirely deserted. The counting was again resumed and we commenced to take in the surroundings. We watched a funny little groove along the top of our desk, and wondered what it was for, and a little iron lid that covered a glass cup, and we thought that it would do to well play with
A REVERIE.
Soon recess came, and when the big bell sounded (the tone of which we will never forget) all the boys and girls got up from their desks and went out. Not knowing that such an institution as recess existed, we kept our seat, but the teacher said we might go out and play. We were both to do so, having in part become acquainted with our surroundings and we did not wish to encounter new ones. When we came upon the play ground we saw hundreds of boys and girls, running, shouting, laughing and talking. When recess was over we returned to the school room and then received our first lesson. At noon we ran all the way home, and if we ever appreciated that, the dearest of all spots on earth to man, we did then.
But the novelty of the scene soon wore off, we became acquainted and could in turn gaze at a new boy with the same strong glare that had been directed towards us. Then recess, instead of being a reign of terror to us, was the most pleasant part of the day's programme. We would sit and watch the clock and count the minutes when the bell would ring; we soon learned when the recess mark was on the recess dial. And then we had fifteen minutes of games; marbles, tops, jacks, bean bag, ball, leap frog, end and over, jumping, prisoner's base, and a score of others invented for the express use of children. The years rolled by, we went from room to room and teacher to teacher, and when we got to the high school we had with us some of the same boys and girls that we had first met down in the lowest room years and years ago. Then we became too dignified to play marbles, and would go around to the coal front steps and drive the little boys away, as we had been driven, and while away the too short moments talking to the Junior and Senior girls. But now all that is passed, and we feel better for looking back over it all and picking out the bright spots in our childish life, where the sunlight of happiness has served to make them clear. You do the same; not now, for you are in a hurry, but some time, when you have nothing to do. See, if, when the memorials of the past float before your minds eye, they do not take form and definite shape, and cause you to smile and sigh, perhaps. It is better than building air castles, because it is all real and does not call for a stretch of the imagination. Do not cut out what is bitter because it will serve to intensify that which is sweet and pleasaat.
ALARMED in its own stunted soul at the thought of having unconsciously paid us a compliment in its last issue, that dog in the manger, alias Washburn Reporter, pokes its ugly canine head over the side and snarls out a brainless vituperation at us. Go ahead, scorpion. We suppressed our indignation at the thought of receiving a compliment from so questionable a source, and are heartily glad for our own reputation's sake that you withdrew it. When attired in the bright garb of originality, we don't want any fawning cur to wag his tail, place his dirty fore-feet affectionately on our raiment, or lick us with his billion tongue. We know who "sicked" you on. It was a would-be poet whom we promptly sat down upon for annoying us with a plagiarized poem, and when we consider that you have suffered yourself to be handled and operated by the fellow with the probable aid of a bone, our contempt for you forces us to shy this boot jack at you and go on with our business. We will continue to write our short editorials if for no other reason than to hear you growl.
THE board of regents never did a wiser thing than in giving Professor Blackmar an assistant in his department. It is only to be hoped that the assistant will produce in himself the exemplary traits of character so prominent in his gentlemanly, scholarly and competent supervisor, Prof. Blackmar. This department has become one of the most important and popular branches of the University, and on that account called for more attention than one instructor could give it. The study of history has been revolutionized, and it is now considered one of the most important branches of knowledge, in fact the keystone to many other branches. The action of the board in this matter is another proof of the wisdom of that body.

To the Editor of the Courier:
DEAR SIR: An article on Athletic Grounds in your paper last week, suggests the following in regard to the proposed Mississippi street grounds. It would be a business man's method to first get a competent engineer's opinion of their suitability; second, to determine their cost; third, their relation to outside conditions, and fourth, the source for payment and maintenance of them.
The Athletic association directors have wisely obtained(at the suggestion of the regents) a survey, estimates and the professional opinion of Prof. Marvin in reference to these proposed grounds. This opinion does not appear in the article above referred to. I do nnt know why.
Prof. Marvin reports it will cost $1,800 to grade an area approximately only 430 feet square, which is only one third of the entire grounds. On this area must be baseball, football, and whatever tracks are necessary for general athletics.
The engineer says one rolling track, if kite shaped, can be laid out there. A race track evidently ought never to be built in a baseball area. Especially should it be used for bicycling. Outside this area are spots fairly suited for tennis courts. Around the graded portion would be left slopes. at paces 6 feet high, he says, and all the ground around would surface and subsoil drain to the large area. The sum named included but one ditch covered through the field, and does not estimate for removal of rock which may be encountered. Such a report speaks for itself.
Second: The grounds can be purchased for about $250 per acre. Is that a fair price?
Third: The outside relations refer to students and townspeople. The geographical center of student population is not an argument here, when a majority of students must climb over the hill and down again to reach the grounds. Practically, the athletic grounds of all colleges, noticeably in the east, are used almost entirely for match games of baseball and football. In these lie the inspiration, the popularity and success of the grounds. Such a game of baseball as we had two years ago with Washburn, or such a football game as we had with Baker last fall, does more for the college athletic spirit and for enthusiasm for the University, than the best equipped field with few spectators.
Now the Mississippi street ground bears such geographical relation that spectators in satisfactory numbers cannot be expected, except perhaps on rare occasions. Whatever grounds we get then, should be easy of access to the townspeople as well as to students. College experience shows also, that the majority of students do not use even the best equipped gymnasiums and athletic grounds, but that practically the grounds are for the teams. Further
it is the exception to find the athletic grounds near the gymnasium. The exercises which best develop the student physically are everywhere acknowledged to be had in a gymnasium and this should be among the other college buildings. But the athletic grounds should be so selected that the general public, including students, may easily reach them.
Fourth: The gate receipts from match games must constitute the largest part of our income for the maintenance of athletics. I have talked with a number of business men of our city, and with one exception, they say the proposed Mississippi street grounds are too inaccessible for them. They will patronize, as they have in the past, any grounds which they can quickly reach by street car or short walk.
From ten to twenty dollars worth of boys and men will sit on the slopes outside these proposed ravine grounds and see the games for nothing.
It is proper that the great body of students who must assume the expenses of any grounds selected should know and consider well these business points in reference to the proposed Mississippi street grounds, which the article referred to above advocates.
Respectfully,
LUCIEN I. BLAKE.

The Rabbi said that as long as such books as that of Edward Bellamy continued to be written, read and thought about, there
was evidence that men were aware of the defects of our present system and were searching after a perfect social system. Such work afforded an ideal to which men might strive and were therefore of much benefit to mankind.
The Seminary is to be congratulated on the number of valuable addresses that have been presented to it. People of Lawrence, and students of the University would do well if they closely watched the announcements of the Seminary and availed themselves of its benefits.

Mind Parallelism.
One of the most interesting features of the study of metaphysics is that of mind parallelism; that principle of psychology which causes "great minds to run in the same channel." History has furnished us many wonderful examples but we believe that one which we happened upon accidentally a day or two since, will eclipse any instance hitherto recorded.
We were reading an article in one of the bound periodicals in our University library, when it occurred to us that one of our western orators had written a very similar production upon a very similar theme. Upon comparison it almost seemed at first that the writer in the periodical must have plagiarized, but we finally concluded that it was merely a case of "mind parallelism." The resemblance between the two productions, however, is very striking, and we will give our readers one paragraph taken from the oration of the western man (a Washburn man by the way) to show how closely the periodical (New Princeton Review) writer follows the thought of the western man. WASHBURN ORATOR NEW PRINCETON BE
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL, 17 1891.
American Idea. The fathers of our republic formulated the American, not as theorists make phrases, but as earnest men speak the truths that life has taught them. They were not indulging in glittering generalities when they challenged the opinion of mankind with the declaration that all men are free and equal; seafaring forth a simple taut, and on that truth they built a nation. In logical pursuance of this idea they instituted a simple truth and on that truth they self-government, personal, local, state and national. In all that concerns the individual, each man must be absolently a law unto himself. In all that concerns the community, whether vilage, city, or rural township, the people of the community have the right to decide for themselves. Everything which pertains to the common wealth comes under the jurisdiction of the state authorities. In all matters of interest, the nation al govern ment, with supreme power, rises superior to the petty considerations of local interests, and assumes responsibility for the welfare of the whole country. The fathers formulated this idea, not as theorists make phrases, but as earnest men speak the truths that life has taught them. They were not indulging in glittering generalities, therefore when they challenged the opinion of mankind with the declaration that all men are free and equal; seafaring forth a simple taut, and on that truth they built a nation. In logical pursuance of this idea they instituted a simple truth and on that truth they self-government, personal, local, state and national. In all that concerns the individual alone, each man must be absolutely a law unto himself. In all that concerns the people of a locality (only)—he itown or village, city or rural province—the people of that locality have the absolute natural right to decide for themselves, without consulting the wish of any other people. In all matters that concern the state, and that only, it is the right of the state to decide without interference or rejection concerns the nation as a whole, a like right of self-government, exclusive of interference, from
We would like very much indeed to hear from the writer in the New
Princeton Review concerning this matter. A knowledge of the mental processes through which he went when compared with the mental processes of our Washburn friend would be an invaluable contribution to the science of psychology. All mysteries would be explained; new facts would be learned; who can tell the benefits which such a comparison might not give?
After looking the matter up, however, we find that the date of the periodical is earlier than that of the oration; so perhaps it would be better for the Washburn orator to answer first, as it is very improbable that he has seen the article in question, we will inform him that it can be found in the New Princeton Review, volume IV, pages 317-327.
We are anxiously awaiting a reply.
The Athletic Field.
I have been asked to express my opinion on the location of the proposed athletic field, and do so gladly though with necessary brevity.
The proper object of all athletic training and apparatus in the University is to secure exercise under favorable conditions, on the part of the great body of students; and especially on the part of those who are specially apt to neglect this very essential condition of sound health and consequently sound scholarship.
The gymnasium and the athletic grounds are not established primarily for the ball nine or the foot ball team, nor for match games, nor for attracting crowds of town people. These are desirable, but are secondary to such a degree as to be almost unimportant except as maintaining a certain amount of University interest in the general subject of athletic training;
The gymnasium, therefore, should be near the University. More and more are our students at the University from morning till night. This is especially true of the students who most need the gymnasium. Exercise must be possible for a few moments at a time, between lectures or reading hours. This is the exercise which is most needed and is also most beneficial.
What is needed is not extreme and semi-occasional exercise, but light and every day exercise; such as is within the comparatively easy reach of every student, time and means considered.
During the pleasant weather, this exercise should be token us far as possible out of doors. This should be the first consideration in locating the Athletic grounds. They should be near the gymnasium, that those who wish to dress specially for exercise may do so without loss of time; and may as readily return to
their work. And they should be near the Un versity, that those who wish for a few moments exercise at "odd hours" may have the opportunity and the temptation to take it without serious inconvenience or interruption of regular work.
The grounds should be large enough to accommodate many students engaged in different sports and games at the same time. There should be base ball grounds, foot ball grounds, several tennis courts, grounds for la crosse(which I hope will be introduced here at no very distant day), a running track and bicycle track, room for hand ball (which I understand is coming into deserved repute again), and for any and all other sports in which students can be tempted to engage. For all such purposes it will be readily seen that she matter of an audience and of revenue from gate money is entirely an after consideration.
Those who stand pretty stiffly for the more public grounds should remember that even in the two games of foot ball and of base ball, the match games themselves are but a small part of the work. For all training purposes, such grounds as I have described, located near the University, and with no reference to the city, are the best.
Nor should we lose sight of the general principle that should govern our action in all such matters: get as many people as possible, as often as possible as near the University as possible. We should concentrate our attractions and our forces rather than scatter them.
JAMES H. CANFIELD.
A Library Building for K. S. U.
To the Editor of the Courier:
When the usual avenues of procedure run out, we are still allowed to indulge in the illusions of hope. Any scheme, mythical though it seems at first, for the advancement of the welfare of the University, ought to receive the support of its students. Here is one for your perusal.
Gov. Himphrey recently received something over $60,000 from the government as Kansas' share of the direct tax. It has been put into the general fund, and cannot be used until the next legislature makes some provision for its disbursement. It is somewhat remarkable that no one has as yet asked for it, but on the principal of the proverbial early bird. K. S. U. will do well to shake the dew from its wings early in the day.
not noted for following in the footsteps of sister states, especially "Missoury," still $60,000 ought to patch up that little discrepancy as far as we are concerned.
Missouri has established the precedent by giving its share, $600,000 to the State University. Surely Kansas can afford to give one-tenth of that amount to an institution of better standing. While Kansas is
There is but one way to get the money and that is through the legislature. It is in that body that some effectual missionary work could be done. If the students acquainted with the representatives and senators would talk the matter over with them the result would be far more gratifying than is supposed by many. It is to be sincerely hoped that every loyal student will do his part that the desired end may be accomplished. That the faculty and regents will do theirs goes without saying. It is true that there is more than a year to work in, but experience has taught the University that what it gets does not come for the asking, but from the combined and persistent work of many hands; and experience, they say, is the best teacher.
What a gala day it would be at K. S. U. should it receive an appropriation for a duplicate of Snow Hall, now so famous throughout the state. If a student ever had any college spirit, it would certainly come out then. It would be one more, tie to bind the student to his alma mater, and inspire him to her honor. There is no sufficient reason for cramping the growing usefulness of the University. That it needs a library building and even more is painfully apparent to all who investigate the condition of affairs at the institution itself. When the legislature learns the facts in the case, all will be well, and we shall have another building.

Prof. James H. Canfield has proved his loyalty to Kansas and her State University by refusing an offer of the presidency of the Illinois State University at a salary of $4,000 a year and a residence provided. These frequent offers which our professors have received to enter eastern schools, shows that our University is fast becoming recognized as one of the foremost institutions in the west, and it will not be many years before it will be on a par with the best universities of the country.

UNWELCOME PEOPLE.
This world of ours, among its many millions of inhabitants, contains not a few who are never welcome any where. Among those who are thus unwelcome are the class known as "peculiar" those who are over stocked with disagreeable idiosyncracies, and whose peculiarities always stick out in front like the long horns of a Texas steer ready to hook and hurt—the angular and misshaped members of the race, the queer specimens who insist upon afflicting their fellows by continually thrusting themselves into places where they are not wanted.
Then there are the fussy people, and those who have a chronic desire to borrow money which they never repay, and those who always talk loud, and those who don't talk loud enough, and those who question us to discover our ignorance, and those who love to sneer and ridicule, and those who ore always positive and obstinate about unimportant matters, and those who always come when they are least wanted, and those who are excessively polite and neat and fastidious, and those who agree with everything we say, having no opinions of their own, and those who always say "I do so and so," and"I think so and so," and those who make a convenience of our hospitality and a hotel of our homes.
It were quite a task to tabulate all the varieties of unwelcome people, there are so many of them. Chief among this class are those who always point out to us our faults, and generally in the presence of others; those who always leave their joys at home and bring along with them only their troubles; those who are hen-like, always cackling their griefs and sorrows in the public ear; those who neglect their own affairs to attend to those of other people; those who stay too long when we are busy; those who always bore us; those who never ride anything but hobbies; those who insist upon talking about things that don't interest us; those who are offensively opinionated, disputatious and argumentative; those who are waspish, full of stinging, hurtful things, those who come to dinner unexpectedly; those who keep others waiting by their unnecessary delay; those who cannot talk about anything but the weather, their children and servants.
All these, with the balance who belong in the same category, are never welcome to our homes or places of business. We tolerate them when they come, just as we do other nuisances, but we do not enjoy them. Society is so constituted that we cannot, except at the peril of losing our good standing, treat them as they deserve; so we are compelled to submit, without demonstration of disgust, to their fatiguing presence, and endure, as best we can, what we would gladly forego. Would that social conventions, hypocrisy and deceit were banished, and that the members of the social organism could act honestly and naturally in this, if not in all respects.—Aitchison Champion.
A GOOD IDEA.
GRADUATES of Yale and HarHarvard in New York and vicinity have subscribed $600 for the purchase of a handsome cup to be known as the University Track Athletic Cup. The object of this is for the encouragement of track athletics and to foster a friendly rivalry between the two universities in track field athletics.
Would not such an idea work well in Kansas in the league about to be formed? We see no reason why the first game fees should not go to purchase a cup to be held by the champions. It would stimulate to more thorough and better preparation in the home practice and in every way conduce to a more lively interest throughout the year. The cup need not cost $500 but should be something in keeping with the plethora of the exchequer of the average western college. What say you, Courier and Reporter? —Beacon.
We second your motion. We don't know what our esteemed contemporary up the creek has to say on the subject but as for us we are heartily in favor of a cup which shall become the temporary property of the winner. If we cannot afford a cup we are able to purchase a pennant or banner which will in part take the place of a more valuable prize. If we remember rightly there is a silver ball around these "diggins" some where that has been offered as an intercollegiate prize, as to its whereabouts now we are not certain. It was won by the "Kaw Valley Champions" away back in the sixties.
TIS TRUE, 'TIS PITY; PITY
'TIS, 'TISTRUE.
The attitude of several of our contemporaries for the last three months, on the subject of a triangular athletic league, reminds us of nothing more than the ancient and revered 'difference between the two small boys,' when their juvenile reputation for pugnacity shoves them, however unwillingly, to the verge of the crisis. But the insuperable obstacle to the grand eulination is that 'one is afraid and the other daresn't.' The sporting editors of the respective papers, reveling in ink, have been calling upon each other vigorously to enter the league and 'let us annihilate you,' at the same time secretly but devoutly praying that the organization may not be effected. The endeavor to establish a reputation in advance renders a good dose of bluff indispensable. Each claims to be anxious to have the league formed, and yet, it is not. The only solution lies in the fact that it is safer for all not to meet and match strength. However, brethren, we would exhort you to organize the league or draw in your plumes. We are 'weary of this bluffing. College Life.
Hold on Brother Kingery, don't rend your linen or raise the temperature under your collar, give us time. We have met, matched and mauled and to accuse us of being afraid to form a league is a deliberate misstatement of facts. We are ready and anxious to form the league and are glad to chronicle the fact that, though a little slow, our delegates are doing their duty and we hope soon to have a permanent organization. Sorry you are not in it, as it is rumored that you have this year a really representative base ball nine.
We nevre took much stock in Washburn's "superior methods" in oratory but the development and proper appreciation of this feature has awakened a new interest in the study of oratorical methods. We see that in slighting their claim for superiority we have done an unintentional wrong and we are glad of this opportunity to do them full justice. There is no doubt but that the oration of the Washburn orator was stolen as is shown in the local page of this issue. We do not want to crow over this, in fact we are very sorry that Washburn should be represented by a man so dishonorable that he would steal the very words and thoughts of an abler and smarter man than himself and pass them off as his own. To the student body of Washburn College we extend the hand of sympathy and condolence in this their hour of shame. It is a query in our mind whether stealing an oration in preference to writing one constitutes a superior method.
WASHBURN Reporter raises its ophidian head above the coil of its own sweet personality and wants to know where is the tri angular league. If you would get after your local representative and punch him up you might find the frame work of a league running around somewhere. If he does not wake up pretty soon frost will catch him and we will have no league. The constitution was sent to Washburn for ratification and it staid there two weeks, the first letter written there was unanswered for a month. This is the way, gentlemen, the game stands. Anything well done deserves credit and we wish to give Washburn all the credit she deserves in this matter. If this is not a case of cow on the track of progress, we don't know what is.

Offerings of Condolence.
WHAT has become of the Hesperian? We have been waiting patiently for its appearance but it seems to have taken to the brush. You had better watch your mailing clerk and see if he is as careless as we used to be when we were business manager.
WHEREAS, by the decease of our friend and classmate,John D. Claassen, and the loss sustained by those who were nearest and dearest to him: Therefore be it
WHEN a woman is sure of a thing you had better be a little doubtful, when she guesses you may take it for the truth.
Resolved, By the class of '90, Department of Pharmacy, Kansas University; that it is but a just tribute to the memory of the departed to say that in regretting his removal from our midst, we mourn one who was in every way, worthy of our respect and regard.
Resolved, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them.

Resolved, That this heartfelt testimony of our sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to the parents of our departed friend and classmate by the secretary of the class.

The Geological Survey.
The appropriation for beginning a geological survey of Kansas will enable Dr. Williston to organize a field party and to vigorously pursue this much needed work. The party will leave the University about May 1, going to western Kansas, where about half the summer will be spent. A stratigraphical survey of the northwestern part of the state will be made. The latter half of the summer will be spent in the eastern tier of counties, where a thorough study of the economic geological conditions of that portion of the state will be made. The party will be in charge of Prof. Williston and will be made up of University instructors and students. While in the northwest visits will be made to the noted fossil beds in that region, and some rich finds are expected.
It has long been the desire of Chancellor Snow that such a survey should be instituted under the direction af the University, and this beginning is the fruition of his long continued efforts in that direction.
The New School of Engineering.
The recent action of the regents in establishing a school of engineering at the University is an important step forward. By it we are to have a school bearing the same relation to the University, and being still a part of,it that the school of mines is of Columbia,Sibley college of Cornell, Shefield scientific school of Yale and Lawrence scientific school of Harvard.The nucleus of any university is its department of literature science and the arts. Professional courses do not properly belong there. Until now the engineering work in its infancy has been a part of this department. But it has rapidly grown in its demands for more technical opportunities.Now it is set apart with its separate faculty and with better prospect to develop its individuality.
At present it is to be composed of the two distinct courses in civil and electrical engineering, but later mechanical engineering is to be added.
These courses will not be shortened as some think to two years like the law and pharmacy schools, but will be strengthened. The idea is to give young men training in mathematics, draughting, English, French, German and in science such as to provide them a foundation upon which they can build in after life their professional experience and success. This school starts with $16,000 worth of appliances and apparatus.
The distinctive feature of the courses is their practical nature and this action of the regents shows their intention to give the Kansas boys just as good professional schools as similar eastern universities have.
The Memorial Volume.
The Memorial Volume which is to be issued by the Universitg at the time of the Quarter Centennial Celebration next June will contain several features of especial interest. The Volume will be edited by Mr. Wilson Sterling, on recommendation of the Faculty. Prof. Robinson is to write a chapter on Social Life in the University, touching upon fraternities, literary societies, college journalism, etc. The editor will write a general historical skech of the material and scholastic growth of the institution from its inception to the present time. The volume will contain the principal addresses to be delivered at the celebration, and will be embellished with full page photo engraving cuts of the five chancellors of the University.
The well known energy and ability of Mr. Sterling insure the production of a Memorial Volume creditable alike to the University and to the editor.
Will Snow is preparing a monograph of the trypetidal, a little known family of flies. It will contain descriptions of about forty species, new to science, with several plates.

The Midsummer Night's Dream.
Every student in the University should attend the representation of this play next week. Not only because it is a University affair and the proceeds go to the athletic association, but because it will be a literary treat in itself and a wonderfully entrancing spectacle.
The opportunities of seeing this play are rare, as it is seldom if ever played except in large cities. That it can be well represented as it will be in a city like Lawrence speaks well for its home talent. Miss Georgie Brown as manager, Prof. Beal as musical director and Rohe as scenic artist make a happy combination of talented artists whose work is of the highest order of merit.
Lawrence Smith, who has completed his sugar investigations in the chemical department, and who has returned home, will shortly leave for the south to take a position in a large sugar refinery.
Earl Brown, Jack Weaver and Henry Schott did Leavenworth last week.
Little Eva Brown is a general favorite and as Oberon will add to her well earned laurels. Virgine McCrory, who will be long remembered as Josephine in Pinafore, will take the part of Titania. The dance in the third act by Oberon and Titania will alone be worth the price of admission. The bright particular star however will be Puck, as impersonated by Annie Rohe who is probably the smallest ever seen in the character of Robin Goodfellow. The underplot will be as funny as funny can be and Bottom with the Anes head will be responsible for many a side ache. Next Thursday night will be the opening night and the rush for seats will begin Tuesday morning when the box sheet will be open at Crew's.

E. F. Engle and Miss Laura Lockwood who are officers of the Leavenworth District Epworth League, attended the annual convention of the Topeka District League at Topeka last Tuesday and Wednesday and report a profitable time.
To any one who saw the "first night" of Midsummer Night's Dream there cannot remain any doubt as to its merit and there surely ought not to be any doubt in regard to its financial success. Taking in consideration the time and labor spent, the expense incurred by those who have had the supervision of this play and also how its success ought to interest especially the students, think that even these things would be an incentive to every student to attend this beautiful production of Shakespear's aside from the actual pleasure which every one will experience when they witness it. What can be more charming than the spectacle of sixty little maidens dressed in dazzeling costumes, trained to dance in exact step to spirited music or to march in figures so difficult that nothing but the even line of veterans can compare with their regularity and perfection, or who will not regret an opportunity lost who does not see little Annie Rohe as Puck? The underplot is undoubtedly of itself enough to furnish amusement for an evening and not enough can be said for the efficiency with which this is carried on. It is to be hoped that every one, not only students, but everyone else will make it a point to see this charming play.
The Game at Haskell.
The University and Haskell nines opened the ball season by a practice game, last Saturday. The game was played on the Haskell grounds and resulted very satisfactorily as far as the University nine are concerned.
The first two innings consisted of a succession of whitewashes. Then the red men rallied and hit the ball for a couple of runs. The University boys, determining not to be out done, went them one better. In the following three innings both sides hit the ball quite frequent.y the Indians a little the hardest. In fact they were several runs in the lead.
Then in the sixth inning, Mackey, the only, the star pitcher of Haskell, entered the box mid rounds of applause. This was just what the whole University nine longed for. They desired to test the paralyzer. They did, knocked him clear out of the box in the last inning.
In the seventh and eighth they were unable to assimilate with the ball to any marked degree, but in the ninth, with a score 7 to 12 against them they hit the sphere with a regularity simply delicious. They made five full grown, corpulent runs, in this, their last time at bat, evening the score, and making it 12 to 12.
No. 31.
The lateness of the hour, and threatening look of the sky, prevented our boys from playing off the tie.
This afternoon a game will be played between a picked nine from town and the University nine.
Planting of the Class Trees.
The members of the Law Department assembled on the campus at North College Saturday at 10 a.m. for the purpose of listening to the exercises in connection with the planting of memorial trees by the class of '91. All the members of the class participated in the planting of the trees which was followed by appropriate speeches from Messrs. Finical, McLaughlin, Foster, and Mr. Feller, a last year's student. Mrs. Brown composed and read a very beautiful poem which we should like very much to publish; but which for several reasons she declines to allow to appear. Professor Green was called for and he addressed the students in a very touching manner, at the close of which the students gave him three cheers. It was altogether a very pleasant occasion.
Mr. W. E. Wilson was initiated into Sigma Nu last Monday night.

Miss Hutchings' Concert.
The fourth entertainment for the benefit of the pipe organ fund was given under the direction of Miss Josephine Hutchings at Bowersock's opera house on Thursday evening. A crowded house was sufficient encouragement for the well known singers and musicians of this city to do their best and the audience was favored with some rare selections admirably rendered.
Some music ordered from Leavenworth having failed to arrive, a duet by Misses Burr and Wyne was substituted for the first number on the program. The young ladies were deservedly applauded. Mr. Bell next entertained the audience with a cornet solo, De Beriot's Fifth Air. He responded to an encore.
Miss Hutchings sang Beauty's Eyes so charmingly as to win a storm of applause. In response she sang Angel Voices. Prof. Penny rendered a selection from Chopin and was recalled by the delighted audience. Mrs. Marks sang Sunny Smiles with cheerful effect. Murmuring Zephers, executed on the piano by Mrs. Hayne, was one of the most enjoyable numbers on the program. Miss March's vocal solo was encored, but the audience had to be contented with a graceful acknowledgment. Mr. Buch played a violin solo with such pleasing effect as to win his recall.
The next was a duet by Misses Hutchings and March. Mrs. Gleed being ill, Mr. Nolte, of Topeka, occupied her place on the program. His rich baritone voice captured the audience. The concert ended with a quartett by Misses Hutchings and March and Messrs. Howe and Stevens.
the lecture delivered in University hall by Judge Crozier was very interesting and instructive. He described very minutely the manner in which the different closely contested elections of president of the United States were conducted, and also the means resorted to by each party in the attempt to elect its candidate. It was the first first time the people of Lawrence were allowed the pleasure of listening to the judge and it is to be hoped they will have the pleasure of hearing him again in the near future.
The meeting of the Triangular league delegates from the several colleges was held Monday, and it is hoped that things can be arranged so that we may have some league games this spring. The constitution which was promulgated by K. S. U. has been approved by Baker and K. S. U. and it only remains for Washburn to ratify it.
Professor Williston delivers lecture at Kanwaka this evening.

The following correspondence will explain itself;
SANCTUM, K. S. U. COURIER.
Mr. E. F. Engle;
DEAR SIR:—My cob-house has been knocked down; a monky-wrench has stubbornly lodged itself in the corn shells of my existence. I am chief cook and bottle washer on the great rligious weekly. I have been serving in that capacity since the first of the year but on account of unforeseen circumstances I shall be obliged to shed my mantle. The constitution of the Courier Association provides that a resigning editor shall name his own successor and it is upon the authority of this provision that I offer you the honor and privileges of this office. I hope you will take the matter into advisement and decide to accept the offer. I might hint here that it's no snap to run a college newspaper, but if you want any pointers on running the thing I can give you some. What do you say?
R. U. INIT
AT HEART'S EASE, STATE OF EXISTANCE.
Mr. C. C. and B. W., Sanctum, K.
S. U. COURIER.
DEAR STR:—Your communication just received. Upon first reading it, I am free to confess, I was considerably embarrassed by so sudden an offer of honor but after due consideration I have concluded to let the honor set lightly upon me and do the best I can. I fully realize my inability and lack of preparation for the position. I know not what awaits me I simply trust in the future and go right ahead. As to the mantle you are perfectly free to keep that as it would not fit me, neither do I think I can occupy your sanction as I have no sanctimonious qualities. All I ask is the key to the door which opens into the vault of good judgment and common sense and your passports to the favor of all the readers of the great weekly.
U. R. RIGHT.
ONE of the best numbers of the Review that has appeared this year came out last Monday. We congratulate the editor on its excellence. The articles are all instructive and interesting. Prof. Blackmar's "Political Science in the Public Schools" is a very able discussion and the article on "Journalism in the University of Kansas" by H; E. Copper will be read with great interest by all students. It gives a splendid history of the class studies of K. S. U. journalism, "To the Boudusion Fount" by O. P. Davis, and "To Lencome" by Nellie Thacher Henry, are both translations of Horace. H. P. Roberts' article on "The Force and Beauty of Milton's Poetry" is written with an understanding of the subject. "Typographical Errors" by Arthur B. Barteaux is an excellent article giving a history of typography and many noted instances of typographical errors.
CONSCIENCE is the echo of judgments which other people pronounce upon us. -Adam Smith.
Some men mistake courteous contempt for popularity.
IDLENESS is the breeder of debasing thought.
IF the price of a compliment is known its effect is lost.
If matter is only a bundle of attributes, there would be very little left of some men if their gall were taken away.
If you hear any peculiar sound or feel a torrid breath of air do not be frightened, it probably is only a new spring suit.
Two points on street etiquette: Gents, never walk with your shoe strings untied: Ladies, never walk with a toothpick in your mouth.
THERE seems to be a considerable difference as to the location of the Athletic grounds. As the students of the University are to receive the benefit of such grounds we would suggest that a vote be taken to get their expression. This could be done without any trouble by simply placing a ballot box in the hall and allowing each student to cast his or her vote for the location of the grounds.
A VISITOR to the Academy of Language remarked to us that he thought our girls were so homely. Our resentment was immediately aroused and we eloquently championed the ladies of the University. The visitor and I finally agreed that it was not a doll face alone that constituted beauty. After we had presented to him the charming qualities of our ladies, he was willing to admit that our girls were handsome.
The long looked for event is finally upon us, and the student who fails to improve the opportunity of witnessing it will have something to regret all his life. We speak of the presentation of Mid Summer Night's Dream. No entertainment has ever been given in Lawrence the preparation of which has required so much time and work. The student who fails to see the play not only lacks appreciation of a dramatic treat but also proves recrant to the interests of the University. Let everybody go.
THERE has just reached this office a prospectus of "The Agora" a new quarterly literary magazine to be published at Salina. The first number is to appear in June and the magazine is to be a western journal in general, and a Kansas journal in particular. While such an enterprise may be regarded as a bold undertakning we neverless see no reason why it should not be made a success. The east of course will sneer at the idea of a western literary magazine, but Kansas is not to be sneered down. Her literary talent has already attracted attention and will continue to do so. We wish the Agora success and with such contributors as Dr. Schuyler, Wm. Bishop D. D., J.D. Anderson and T.E. Dewey its prospect certainly is good.
THE Bellefontaine (Ohio) Republican says: "On last Sabbath the word had got out that Rev. J. E. Curry would preach on temperance at the U. P. church in Huntsville. The house was crowded with the different denominations, but instead of a temperature sermon, he called the attention of his hearers to the courage of Paul, and announced that in the evening he would preach on "The Saloon-Keeper and His Victims." At an early hour in the evening, before time for service to begin, the house, which is the largest in town, was filled to its utmost capacity, every inch of space being occupied. After the opening services, Mr. Curry entered upon his theme, and portrayed the drunkard and the drunkard-maker in vivid colors, but in such a manner that no one could take offense, yet must accept every word as the truth. After dismissal, as the large audience which had been intensely interested, wore wending their way home, there was frequent expression of the thought that Mr. Curry is the right man in the right place." Mr. Curry is a graduate of the University. The University through its graduates is making itself felt more and more every year. Engineers, teachers, lawyers and preachers, who have gone out from our school are attracting attention everywhere.
Of course many will want to know the reason for this sudden and untimely change in the editorship of the Courier and it is but due to the readers of this paper that an explanation be made. Mr. Challis, being urgently requested to take important parts in several entertainments, which are to be given in the interest of the University, thought that he could not do all that work and edit a newspaper. So, being assured that his assistance in the entertainments was indispensable, he reluctantly concluded to sever his connection with the Courier. How we came to be in his place is not so easy to explain, for we are sure that there are many who know more about running a college paper than we. But we are here and shall do the best we can to keep up the enviable interest and reputation of the Courier the few remaining weeks of this year. The present administration has no policy to promulgate; Fresh news in pleasing garb is our motto. There are two kinds of college editors, circulating and sedentary. The circulating editor is constantly mingling with the students and feels the pulse beat of college life. His eyes and ears are always open to learn the interests and grievances of the students and in his columns he gives expression to them. The sedentary editor evolves his editorials out of his own brain in his room. The result is usually farfetched editorials. We wish to say that we expect to circulate, but it is impossible for one man to be everywhere, and we therefore expect everyone to be free to offer suggestions or information on anything which
shall be of interest to the University. We allow no one to go before us in love and loyalty to our alma mater and her advancement shall be our high and constant aim. Craving indulgence for all mistakes and weaknesses, I make my bow.
THE University nine has played its first game of ball and we certainly need not be ashamed at the result of the contest. Our boys were stronger than they themselves thought they were. The new men did well and the old men did as well as ever. Our team has always been afraid of the Haskell nine and hardly expected to win last Saturday, but they held their own against the Indians and a drawn game was the result. We have great hopes for the success of the boys during this season and our pen and voice shall always be ready to encourage them.

"FEARLESS FRED."
Another Newsy Letter From Fred Funston.
PARAMONT POSTOFFICE }
March 18, 1891.
DEAR ------------I've made the trip. I am trooly grate. Listen to my narrative of how a Brave Man suffered.
Left Ash Meadows (name for a small spot somewhere in the desert) Friday, March 13 and that night reached the edge of Death Valley, forty-eight miles. The next day I played the trombone. Against all common sense and reason, I tried to reach Pasamint by going around the north end of the Pasamint Range, a mountainous desert without water or trails. This was on Saturday. I rode hard all day, passing around the north end of Death Valley and around the end of the Range. When night came I found that I was in a country of which I could make neither head nor tail and couldn't tell where in the desert I was, except that I had half a gallon of water left and was forty miles from the nearest water at Furnace Creek. (The explorer is a little incoherent here, but he is evidently excusable.) Lay down and went to sleep. Coyotes sat around me and howled all night. Got up at six the next morning and saw that if I did not take a back track, was a goner. Horse was so weak from hunger and thirst that it could not carry me, had not had a drop or a mouthful since the morning before. I started back over that stony mesa leading the horse. The sun was awfully hot, water gave out, and I suffered tortures that day and the following night. It would take too long to write it, but to make a long story short my thinker got all bejiggered. Before I knew it Iwas looney, but I tried to keep my mind off it, and kept pounding the mesa. The horse could barely walk. From 6 a. m. Sunday to 3:30 a. m. Monday I did not stop ten minutes all told, then lost my way and waited for daylight two hours and at 7 a. m. reached Furnace Creek.
I had not eaten a bite from Saturday night till Monday morning and was nearly as long without water. I had grab but was so thirsty I could not eat. The pony had not had a drop of water or a mouthful of food from Saturday morning until Monday morning Older
Dayton, took me in, filled me full of Chili sauce and some other hot stuff. I rested and ate and drank all day very assiduously, and the next Tuesday borrowed another horse from Dayton and today reached Paramont by leaving my horse in charge of some Shoshones and coming over snow on foot.
Start back for Ash Meadows tomorrow. By the time I get back shall have been out eight days. I'll get a horned toad this trip, or I resign my position as United States explorer and Scientist. Oh, this is glorious! Come out and spend Arbor Day. Bring an arbor along,
and we will sit under it and Enjoy the Air. Yours Exploringly,

The Pennsylvania company is doing away with all unnecessary telephones to reduce expense. A saving of $15,000 a year will be accomplished in this way.
China up to 1875 had never possessed a single railway track. In 1875 the first line had in that country was along a strip of land with a length between Shanghai and Woosung.
The United States government pays the railroad companies from $21,000,000 to $24,000,000 per year for the transportation of goods and services at the cost for the present year is $23,050,000.
Aline of steamers between Baltimore and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to be known as the Maryland line, has been put in service in 1834. It is one of which operates over the Baltimore and Ohio.
The majority of men controlling the traffic and operating departments of American railways are under forty years of age. There are sixty-three presidents of systems, with over 500 miles of road, under forty-five.
In a European museum there is a very rare clock lamp in which the passage of time is shown by the lowering of the oil in graduated glass reservoir as the lamp burns.
The new Merchants' Bridge Terminal Railroad company has decided to erect a magnificent depot in St. Louis, to cost not less than $500,000, and to make other improvements amounting to about $15,000,000 more.
the Pennsylvania annual report shows that the Pennsylvania system includes 120 corporations and 7,915 miles of railroad and canal. The gross earnings for 1800 were $133,521,622; expenses, $92,003,364 and net earnings, $41,518,297.

HISTORICAL BURNINGS.
The first devastating fire in America was probably the one occurring at Boston March 20, 1760, when 400 dwellings and stores were burned, causing a loss of $500,-000.
The Chicago fire, Oct. 9, 1871, was one of the largest in all history, devastating an area of 8% square miles and causing a loss of life. Fourteen people and fifty lives were reported lost in this fire.
Philadelphia was swept on July 9, 1850, when a fire along the Delaware river front, at Vine street, extending over eighteen acres, caused a loss of life estimated as high as thirty-three, in addition to 120 wounded and a pecuniary loss of $1,500,000.
It is not generally remembered that Julius Caesar burned a library of 700,000 volumes at Alexandria, known as the Brucian library, B. C. 48, nearly 700 years before the burning of the Serapium library by Omar I.
The burning of the Serapeum library at Alexandria, in the year 640, by the Caliph Omar I, is most widely mourned, *de* the destruction of 500,000 volumes cut off much of the record of human knowledge at that time.
Two notable examples of contagious stopped by confinements are the burning of Moscow by the besieging Tartars, 11 July, 1570, when the plague was stopped. The same event occurred on Sept. 1663, which also stopped the plague, and it has been unknown there since.
In November, 1872, Boston was visited by a fire which extended over an area of sixty-five acres, burning the best merchant-yle buildings in the city, and causing a damage of $75,000,000, on which there was an insurance to cove $35,000,000.
Jerusalem has been burned time and again, the most noted instance being at the siege by the Romans during the year 70, when a faction called the Sicardi set the city on fire in many places, and 1,100,000 of militants perished by fire and the sword.
Constantinople has, like all oriental cities, suffered severely from fires, a large part of such losses being undoubtedly due to the fatalism of the Mohammedans, who were notorious for raiding Muslim "If it be the will of Allah that my favorite city burn, it is the will of Allah."
