Whatever may be the joys and thrilling expectations at the completion of a college course there is nevertheless a touch of sadness and a feeling of anticipated loneliness in such an event both for those who graduate and for those who are left behind to fill the ranks of succeeding graduating classes. We must all find consolation in the fact that we cannot always remain together. The world is continually calling for men and women of intellect and character, such as it has been the pride of our University to furnish, and it would be wrong to wish that Seniors of such grand possibilities as the present ones have might stay with us always. So, then, as the present Seniors go out from the immediate protection of our dear Alma Mater we bid them God speed and hope that abundant success and prosperity may attend all their efforts. We acknowledge many courtesies and favors bestowed upon us by them and shall ever hold them our kind remembrance. Our kindness of most of the

We are very sorry that we are unable to give them all, but several had personal objections to what they thought unnecessary publicity and so closed the interview.

The Year's Growth.
The University has never in any year of its history shown so many signs of permanent, substantial growth, as in this year in which it celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary. On account of the increased number of instructors and new studies offered, at the beginning of the year the main building was found to afford insufficient room and North College was fitted up for the use of the School of Music and School of Law. This arrangement has been found very satisfactory.
In response to the demand for specialization in every line of study, the University has this year taken another important step in the direction of greater freedom in the choice of optional work. The student may no $ \pi $ take two major courses in allied departments where before he could take but a major and a minor.
Another important change has been made in the direction of differentiating the work of the University by the establishment of a School of Engineering, consisting of the two junior departments of Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering. This school having its own standard of admittance and graduation is now placed on the same footing as that of Law or Pharmacy. The Schools of Music and of Art have been combined and placed under the charge of Professor Penny. The new school will be known as the School of Music and Fine Arts, and will be composed of the Piano Forte and Vocal Culture, Dramatic Action, Orchestral Instruments, and Painting and Drawing.
But it is not by these things alone that are seen by all, that the growing strength of the University is to be measured. In many ways its connection with the people and their interests has been made closer. The members of the faculty have never been so active in extending the influence of the institution as they have this year. Professors have lectured in every part of the state, and the effect of this contact with the people cannot be but helpful to the University. Our relations to the high schools have never been so satisfactory as in this first year of Chancellor Snow's administration. Since his inauguration the number of "accredited" high schools has increased from nineteen to forty. This result has been reached partly by the personal influence of members of the Faculty—especially of the Chancellor—upon the principals throughout the state, and partly by the establishment of two new courses of study—Latin-English course, and the General course, which meet the work done in the high schools with admirable success. Never has the outlook for an increased number of students with the higher qualifications been so good as now.
Another mark of closer relations with the interests of the state is seen in the establishment of an experiment station for the distribution of infected chinch bugs, in connection with the Natural History Department. The vote for the appropriation for the station was a vote of confidence in the Chancellor, and the success of the experiment has shown that the confidence was not misplaced.
We cannot speak even obriety of the improvements that should be mentioned. We must not forget the work of the Athletic Association, however, whose plans have taken more definite form this year. Funds are constantly increasing, and a well equipped gymnasium has been in use during the last term, and the success of the association is assured. The appearance of the campus has been improved by the removal of the buildings between the main building and Snow Hall, toilets have been fitted up in the basement, and the foundation of the main building repaired. The museums have been enriched by the efforts of Prof. Dyche and will be further enlarged by Prof. Williston who has charge of a geological survey of the state. Every department offers new courses of study and increased facilities for pursuing them. The Library has reached a higher degree of usefulness by the addition of 2,142 volumes and now offers 15,000 volumes for the use of students.
Every step of the year has been forward—none backward; and while the quarter-centenial of the University is being celebrated it will be pleasant to remember that this twenty fifth year has been the most prosperous of all. V.
How to Read Novels.
For students who have chosen either the course in the romantic novel, in the French department, or the historical novel, in the German department, the instructors have prepared certain directions for self guidance in reading.which may be of interest to others. Students are urged, not required, to read during the summer a limited number of the best novels in English and French as a preparation for the more serious work of the year.
In reading these novels the student should keep in mind the following points and be able to give an account of them.
Realism and Idealism. How far does the author succeed in giving a transcript of actual life, a photograph of things and persons and daily doings? Is there an evident attempt to attain this? Take Howells' April Hopes as an example of such an attempt and Ivanhoe as an instance of the opposite.
By all means make notes as you read or on finishing, basing your judgments on (1) comparison between given books, or (2) your personal taste and experience, or (3) what you conceive to be standard taste; but be sure to recognize what the basis is.
Objectivity and Subjectivity. How far is the story one of outward events, or of soul life and development? Proportion of reflection and moralizing. Note that objectivity
and subjectivity are often closely connected with realism and idealism, but are not the same, and often run counter to them.
These first two elements will manifest themselves in all the following points, and should be accounted for in plot, choice of subject, form, tendency and style.

WE have so much interesting matter this week that the editorial page will be mostly given up to it. This will be the last issue of the COURIER for this year. It has had this year a very peaceful life but it might have lived better. We hope to see the COURIER grow in quality and usefulness. For the short time we have been on the staff we have done the best we could, but have learned that there are many difficulties in the way to making the paper what it should be. It is no play work to get out a good paper and an editor should have at least fifteen hours a week for his work. For that amount of good conscientious work we think a student ought to have some credit on his college course. We give to the COURIER our best wishes for its future.
The annual "Review" election was held at the end of the fourth hour May 25. The election was a rather quiet one owing to a previously arranged combination and resulted as follows: Editor in chief, E. F. Engle, business managers, R. D. Brown and H. S. Hadley; associate editors, E. P. Allen, G. O. Virtue, J. I. Palmer, Albert Fullerton, C. H. Johnson and Miss Millia Crotty; directors, J. M. Challis, Fred EcKinnon, E. F. Robinson and J. M. Davis.
OUR SENIORS.
We are indebted to Mr. Virtue for the article on this year's history of the University. We asked him to write it because we knew he would do it well.

During these expeditions he has collected quite a number of specimens new to science, and has always taken great interest in his work. It is a matter of no small distinction that Mr. Snow is on record as the youngest person who has ever climbed Pike's Peak, having made the ascent at 7 years of age. In the University he has done most of his work in the department of Natural History, making entomology his specialty under the personal direction of Dr. Williston, the renowned entomologist. Joined Phi Kappa Psi in '87. Was president of Science club in '88 and has been elected to the scientific honorary fraternity of Sigma Xi. Will join Dr Williston's geological survey and collect specimens for the University museum.
Maude Estella Sptinger, born in White Cloud, Kans, Dec. 11, 1869. Attended public schools at White Cloud, and in '85-'86 went to University of Pacific. Returned to White Cloud and graduated from the High School in spring of '87. Come to University in fall of the same year and entered Freshman. Took Modern Literature course, with major in Natural History. Joined Kappa Kappa Gamma in '88. Has been associate editor of Review and Courier. Was K. K. G. delegate to the National convention at Bloomington, Ills., in August, 1890. Will do post graduate work at home next year after which she will probably attend some eastern college.
Frank Charles Schraeder was born at Sterling, Ill., Oct. 6, 1865. Come to Kansas and settled, in Dickinson county in 75. Attended common schools in Illinois and Kansas. Was in Abilene Business College for a short time. Entered the Junior preparatory department of the University in fall of '83 but was out of school in '86-87. Took Latin Scientific course and made a speciality of Natural History. Will probably attend Harvard in the study of Natural History after which he expects to teach in that line of work.
Miss Effle Scott is a Kansan by birth and education. She was born near Iola, Aug 4, 1871. After completing the course of study in the Iola High School, she entered the Freshman class of the University in the fall of '87. During the second term of her Freshman year she became a member of Pi Beta Phi fraternity. She was in the department of music under Prof. McDonald for some time during her Junior year. The honor of Phi Beta Kappa membership was shared by her with three other Seniors this spring. Miss Scott will probably spend next year at her home in Iola.

A PENNANT WINNER.
Nobly They Played and Well We Are In It! Did You See It?
A Record of the Day—The Crowd—The Train—Baldwin—The Policemen's Pistols—The Game — The toughs-Baker's Woe-K. S. U's. Joy- Home- The Usher Guards-The Procession-Crew's Umbrella- The Bonfire-All About it, a Glorious Time.
Never in the history of the University has there assembled a more enthusiastic crowd of students than gathered at the Santa Fe depot Saturday morning to go to Baldwin to cheer the University nine on to victory. The limit of tickets was soon sold. Still more came. When the train pulled out promptly at eleven o'clock to the prolonged cry of "Rock chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U.," !! every seat was full and the platforms and aisles were crowded. Manager Bowersock reporting 224 tickets sold.
It was a happy crowd,brim-full of enthusiasm. When the train came in view of the University, floating the stars and stripes from her dome, the enthusiasm of the crowd broke forth in repeated cheers.
The ride across the country was delightful but soon ended. A procession was formed at the Baldwin depot and marched up town, with the mascot in full dress uniform in advance, his august head protected from the rays of the sun by Dan Crew's big Japanese umbrella. A rush was made for the hotels and restaurants and for half an hour Baldwin eating houses experienced such a rush of business as they had never before known in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Guta percha pies, and beefsteak that surely had fed on the same pastures as Pharoah's famous poor kine, which indeed from its extreme indivisibility might have been one of the famous seven, vanished with astonishing rapidity. An hour or so was then spent in wandering over the campus and through the building of Baker University. At half past two the crowd began to gather and before three o'clock it seemed as though all the south half of Douglas county was there to witness the contest. Policemen, great and small, fat and lean, black and white, dressed in a little brief authority and a tin star, armed with shilla-lahs and murderous looking revolvers, strutted about giving vent on the slightest provocation to expletives more forcible than polite.
Prof. Camfield was chosen as umpire. Promptly at three o'clock the game was called.
THE GAME.
How those runs were made. K. S. U. was first to bat and "there was blood in her eye" and all the
boys knew it. It might have been the reflection from the large Japanese umbrella, but it was there just the same. At 3 o'clock Prof. Canfield threw out the ball and called play. Sherman stepped up to the plate—we all knew how it would be, the ball went away from his bat on the safest kind of a hit. He stole second and came home on Kinzie's hot grounds to left field a safe hit for two bases. While Hogg, Simmons and Harvey were busily engaged in striking out, he enticed an error from Messinger on second and came in on it. Baker came in, shouldered their telegraph poles, knocked a pop up to Hogg, struck out, a long fly to Harvey, and out they went again. Crawford then gave Dudgeon a little fly, Smith and Fess picked up their bats and laid them down again, Baker came in and went out again only knocking a little one to Sherman who put it over to 1st in short order. K. S. U. at the bat. Now or never. Therman at the plate. A base hit, two stolen bases and a two bagger by Kinzie brings him in. While Hogg is getting four balls, Kinzie steals third. Simmons sees a chance to get hit and does so. Crawford to bat. Will he hit it? Yes, slightly so. See it go a safer. Kinzie and Hogg come in. Simmons on third, Crawford on second. Simmons gets Topping to throw the ball to third, gets hit in the back for his pains. The ball goes out in the crowd looking for the big parasol to hide in, Simmons thinks a Baker man has hit him and runs for home plate as if scared. Crawford s es a good opportunity and scores while Baker wonders at him. Smithy knocks a foul to Topping and "our boys" are out in the field. Baker fills the bases. Fessler helps Crawford put one out. Sherman catches a fly. Hogg makes one of those noble catches and the xylophone begins to play again. Fessler and Morse get on bases by errors in fielding from Baker. Sherman does the same. Kinzie knocks a fly to Rice who holds it. Hogg knocks a high one to left field. Leake and Brown both try for it, collide like two mad bulls, and while they are picking themselves up, three runs come in, Simmons knocks out a rifle shot three bagger into the same field and and the score is increased by two more. Crawford fans and so does Smith. The score is now 12 to 0. The game is won. Sherman fans them out or they bunt easy ours to the infield. Everybody finds that it is good to be there. In the seventh Baldwin crowd shows its hand and try to rattle Sherman. K.S. U. goes over to celebrate with them, and the police draw out the cannons and try to scare the boys. In the fuss and general muss Baker gets its 4 runs. Our boys in order to clinch things bring in two more runs. Baker is blocked and up town we go (15 to 4.) The game is won and we feel that the pennant's ours.

The Usher Guards and nearly two hundred students met the train at the depot on its return. After several salutes from the Usher Guards, a procession was formed, four deep, which marched down Massachusetts street to the cry of "15 to 4!" "15 to four!."
In the evening a big bonfire was made at the corner of Massachusetts and Henry. Enthusiastic speeches were made by Chancellor Snow and Profs, Dyche, Blake and Mayer. Kinzie was captured after a struggle and hoisted upon the hogshead and made a short speech after which the crowd dispersed.
SOME "POP UPS."
Of all the ungentlemanly tricks which were enacted by the rough and woolly populace of that charming and enchanting little village, the worst was the attempt to bully Schott into striking some one of the hoodlums who were surrounding him and calling him foul names. What would have happened to Schott could best have been told in an obituary notice if he had struck at them. At least twenty of them around him and only one of him. When Noble came up and Dave Miller elbowed his way through the crowd, the mob turned their threats and menaces to Schott into a sickly Baker yell, thus endeavoring to turn the disgraceful affair upon the Baker students.
Baldwin! Thou art past redemption. Your courtesy to visitors has long been dead and shows no signs of resurrection.
The B. U. Burr ball club are as gentlemanly a set of players as we've seen for quite a while.
The long, lean, lank, slabsided, sorry apology of a diseased Jack ass who so far for forgot himself in his envy and rage over the defeat, that he hit Sherman in the back, when the boys were raising him up on their shoulders, we are glad to state that it is not, nor ever has been and probably never will be a Baker student. He's just pure Baldwin, that's all.
Baldwin you are over run with police. All your toughs and niggers were sworn in and supplied with pistols.

By the decision of the umpire at the last game between Baker and Washburn, K. S. U. has the triangular league pennant. We have worked hard for it and have won it fairly. It now stands us in hand to organize at the very opening of school next fall, a strong foot-ball team and sweep the field with it. Three cheers for our ball club!
The special commencement correspondent of the Lawreuce Journal has been going out of his way to stab his enemies in his reports. No attempt has been made to tell the truth, or to treat all fairly in his reports of the commencement proceedings. When the representative of a daily paper stoops to such low despicable tricks as the Journal reporter has been guilty of it is time that his methods were exposed. Of course the proprietor of the Journal is not responsible for the biased reports in his paper, and has no means of knowing that they are written to reward the friends and punish the enemies of the reporter.

Business Colleges.
The Lawrence Business College, which has been established twenty-two years and has a constituency all over the west, has recently been purchased by Coonrod & Smith, proprietors of the Atchison Business College, and the two schools will hereafter be under one management. These colleges have always enjoyed an exceptional reputation for the completeness of their courses of study as well as for the thoroughness with which instruction has been imparted, and the present management, with their increased facilities, will spare neither expense nor individual effort to bring the work of both schools to a still higher degree of efficiency. Each will be equipped with all the appliances for successfully teaching the science of business, and will be in charge of instructors who are familiar with the latest and best methods employed in their several departments. The same advantages in every respect will be offered at both schools, and all scholarships issued will be good at either institution. The apartments occupied by the Lawrence college in the National Bank building of this city, will be re-papered throughout and otherwise improved, making them, with their steam heat, fully equal to the quarters of the Atchison college and unsurpassed by any similar institution in the country. A handsome catalogue representing both colleges will soon be issued and should be in the hands of every young person who expects to attend a business college the coming year. A copy will be mailed free upon application. Address Coonrod & Smith at either Lawrence or Atchison, Kansas.

THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Something About its History and Present Condition.
The University of Kansas will celebrate its quarter centennial anniversary next June. The University is a youngster but a sturdy one, and one marvelously advanced for its age. This is a Kansas characteristic. When Professors Snow and Robinson and Rice, and Chancellor Oliver, the first faculty of the University, with fifty students, were present at the 'opening,' Sept. 12, 1866, we doubt that the professor of Mathematics and Natural Science dreamed that on Sept. 12, 1890 he, as Chancellor of one, of the greatest Universities of the western half of the United States, would be greeted as he appeared on the rostrum by the enthusiastic applause of five hundred young Kansas men and women. The years work wonders. Less than twenty-five years ago there was a feeble academy where now is a university; where now half a thousand students, averaging more than twenty-two years of age, receive instruction from nearly two score of professors, among whom are members of national reputation, twenty-five years ago half a hundred children recited their lessons to three earnest men.
The names of the members of the first board of regents are now revered by the people of Kansas as names of men to whom the Sunflower State owes much of its present prosperity. Ex-Gov. Chas. Robinson, Hon. Solon O. Thacher, Judge J. S. Emery, Hon. C. K. Holliday, Dr. Joseph L. Wever, Rev. D. P. Mitchell, Hon. I T. Goodnow and others are and were men whom Kansans remember. The first meeting of the first board was held in the rooms of the city council on March 2, 1865. Rev. R. W. Oliver was elected chancellor, and the faculty of three men mentioned above was elected July 19, 1866. Professor Rice was chosen president of the faculty December 5, 1866. Chancellor Oliver having formally presided in opening the school. August 8, 1867, Mrs. Cynthia A. Smith was elected member of the faculty. Rev. Mr. Oliver resigned the chancellorship and was succeeded by Gen. John Fraser, A. M., elected Dec. 4, 1867.
BUILDINGS.
The first building erected by the University was that now known as North College. This building is estimated to be worth $20,000. It is 50 feet square, 3 stories high and contains eighteen rooms. The entire work of the University was done in this building until the fall of 1872. The building is now used by the schools of Law and Music.
The next building erected was that now known as the Main building. The question of a new building was a much agitated one during the first few years, and the report of Chancellor Fraser, December 7, 1870, brought this subject very prominently before the public on February 3, 1871, the citizens of Lawrence "voted with great unanimity" $100,000 to be appropriated toward the construction of a new University building. This building was erected, and finally finished in 1877. The building is two hundred and forty-six feet in extreme length, ninety-eight feet wide in center, wings sixty-two feet each. It contains fifty-four rooms, one of which, University Hall, the main audience room, is ninety-four feet long and fifty-six feet wide. It has a seating capacity of one thousand and two hundred. There are eighteen lecture rooms, seating seventy-five to eighty students each. The languages (Greek, Latin, German and French), Mathematics, Philosophy, History and Political Science, are taught in this building. The lecture rooms and laboratories in Physics are in the south wing, and the library and reading rooms (three) are in the north wing. The offices of the Chancellor and Secretary are on the first floor. Carpenter's shop, battery room, superintendent's office and cloakrooms are in the basement.
The Chemistry building was erected in 1883 at a cost of $12,000. It contains eleven lecture rooms, laboratories and offices used by the Chemistry department and the School of Pharmacy.
Snow Hall, a beautiful white stone building, was erected in 1885-86 at a cost of $50,000. It contains twenty-two rooms, fitted up as museum rooms, laboratories, offices, storage rooms, and taxidermic work shops. Snow Hall is one hundred and ten feet in length by one hundred feet wide, is provided with ample basement almost entirely above ground, two stories of sixteen and sixteen feet respectively, and an attic of twelve feet. Its museums are designed to make a complete exhibit of the various cabinets in Zoology, Geology and Botany, and its laboratories are so related to the various cabinets as to secure the utmost convenience. The lecture room, extending through the basement and first story, and arranged in amphitheater style, will accommodate two hundred students. This building finished and furnished with the best appliances for investigation and instruction in Natural History, adds materially to the educational advantages offered by the University.
At an expense of $10,000, appropriated by the Legislature of 1887, the entire steam heating plant was, in the summer and fall of that year, enlarged and greatly improved. A stone building was erected for the reception of the boilers, and to contain also the engine and machine shop for the use of students in the Electrical Engineering course. This building, 86x48 feet, is about five hundred feet south of Snow Hall, and about sixty feet below the level of the ground on which the other University buildings stand, thus affording the best possible facility for the distribution of steam and the return of the condensation. In connection with the machine shops a forge house has just been built. A coal house and a pipe house are also parts of the University equipment in buildings.
The University lands, including the forty acre campus about the Main building, the ten acre campus about North College and the land owned by the University lying between the two, in all sixty acres, together with all the buildings are valued at $334,000.
The Kansas lands which formed the University endowment, 46,080 acres, have all been sold. Over 29,000 acres have been patented. The remaining 17,000 acres are being paid for slowly and the interest on these payments is used for part of the current expenses of the University.
The apparatus of instruction consists
of and is valued at the following:

THE COLLECTIONS.
The limits of this article prelude anything more than a passing reference to the remarkable collections which find places in the museum rooms of Snow Hall, and in the Classical Museum. The Natural History collections have been chiefly obtained during the past ten years by the voluntary contributions of exploring parties in western Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico and British America, in charge of the professors of Natural History. By means of the material thus accumulated a system of exchange has been established with leading institutions and naturalists in all parts of the United States, so that the cabinets contain a
The Herbarium includes more than four thousand species of plants, represented by a much larger number of specimens. There is a large collection of duplicates from which the exchanges are made.
The Entomological collection contains more than ten thousand species of insects, and is being constantly added to. It is especially strong in Lepidoptera and Colcoptera.
The collection of birds and mammal skins, mounted, and of skeletons is rapidly coming to be one of the foremost in the United States. The taxidermic work of Prot. L. L. Dyche is not excelled if equalled in the world. His groups of buffalo, Mountain lions, Rocky Mountain goats, big-horn sheep, grizzly bears and moose are wonderful works of art.
The Paleontological collection is a large and valuable one, its special features being the fine series of fossil leaves from the Dakota sandstone, and a striking series of Cretaceous vertebrates. Dr. Baur, of Clark University, one of the leading paleontologists of this country, has declared that no finer collection of fossil vertebrates exists than the Univer, sity series.
The Mineralogical collection is valued at $5,000. The Conchological collection contains over one thousand species of shells from all parts of the world. An alchoholic collection of marine invertebrates is one of the most valuable in all Snow Hall to the student.
In the Classical Museum a good collection of plaster casts, models, photographs, plates, etc., has been made as an aid to the study of the ancient and modern languages. Among these are plaster casts of many of the masterpieces of Greek sculpture. A model of the Acropolis, a reduced model of the east pediment of the Zeus Temple at Olympia. Theseus of the Parthenon, Venus of Melos and the Augustus in military dress, may be specifically named.
UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.
The University library contains fourteen thousand volumes, and five thousand unbound pamphlets. The library has been selected with great care, and embraces some rare complete sets and special editions.
The reading room, in connection with the library receives more than two hundred American and foreign newspapers, scientific, philological, literary and art journals.
DEPARTMENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
The University of Kansas is not only a university in name but in fact. Its course of instruction covers a vast deal of the field of human knowledge. From the first the institution was planned as a university, but the professional schools were not opened for some years. A Normal school was established in 1875, and abolished in 1884 in favor of the exclusively Normal school at Emporia. The School of Law was opened in 1875 and continues in successful operation. In 1885 a school of Pharmacy was established in connection with the state board of pharmacy. There exist also schools of Music and Art which have good enrollments.
In the College of Liberal Arts, there are six regular courses. Until 1888 the University had felt it necessary to maina preparatory department. In that year, much earlier in its life than Michigan or Wisconsin universities, it undertook to exist on a strictly collegiate basis. With the close of the academic year 1890-91, the preparatory department will be entirely done away with. The requirements for admission to the Freshman class are an ability to write correct English, a knowledge of General History, U.S. History, U.S. Constitution, Algebra to the theory of equations, Geometry, plane and solid, Physics, Perspective Drawing. In addition languages are required varying with the courses as follows: Classical, Greek, two years, Latin, three years; Latin Scientific, Latin, three years, German, one and one half years; General Scientific and Modern Literature, Latin
two years German, one and one half years, French, one year; Latin English and General Language, Latin three years, English, three years. Special courses in civil engineering, electrical engineering, preparatory to medicine, applied chemistry and natural history are offered. The work in the Freshman and Sophomore classes is prescribed, though the six different regular courses offer much freedom of choice even in the lower class work. In the Junior and Senior years all studies are optional, the equivalent of three full studies being required to be carried. There are about 125 of these optional studies offered. Admission to the University is gained by examinations or by presenting a certificate from the principal of any one of the Kansas high schools which are accredited with preparing their students for the University. There are forty eight high schools in the state which are in this close relation to the University.
TUITION FREE.
Kansas people have decreed that no obstacles shall be placed in the way of the young men and women seeking for education. Tuition is FREE in all the departments of the University to Kansas students. This generous provision is fully in accord with the spirit which is at the bottom of all Kansas growth, and the University's advantages thus thrown freely open to all will be eagerly sought after by many who had given up all hope of gaining a college education in view of the large tuition fees almost universally charged.
FACULTY.
The University faculty comprises thirty six members. Many of these men have national reputations, whose fame redounds to swell that of the Kansas University. In the faculty are young men whose energy and ambition will in time make them known.
THE STUDENTS.
There are at present about 500 students in the University. It is gratifying to note that in the face of cutting off a preparatory class which averaged 150 students, the attendance for the year is nearly up to that of last year, when these 150 students helped to swell the rolls. The attendance in the collegiate department of the College of Liberal Arts is this year 265 as contrasted with 190 last year.

The hall was neatly and tastefully decorated with flowers and the fraternity colors, and beautiful floral designs worked by ladies' hands were placed here and there. Over fifty guests, quite a number of whom were from abroad, were present to take part in the festivities of the evening, and all had an enjoyable time. After the guests were all assembled in the parlor games and conversation were in order till 10:30 when one of Mr. Wiedemann's tempting suppers was spread in the hall. The tables were arranged in embassment order and made a unique appearance. After the banquet the toast-master performed his appointed task and then the Riverside mandolin club started up the music to which the company gracefully kept time till two o'clock.

A Reply.
To the Editor of the COURRIER:
In the number of the COURIER preceding this one Mr. G.O. Virtue took occasion to express himself concerning the late Review election in a manner which it seems to me requires some reply. Mainly, as to the questions of fact, to which Mr. Virtue did not confine himself very closely, either through ignorance or intention; and so, for the benefit of those who are not familiar with the constitution of the Review or who were not present at the late election. I desire to make a few statements which may be easily verified by any one who will take the trouble to look the matter up. Of course, as to its being a "public affront" to Mr. Virtue to put his name on the staff, that is a matter of personal opinion and can only be met by counter assertion; likewise as to the motives of the company in doing so.
Mr. Virtue says that "by fraud against the constitution of the Review company" a class of students are deprived of any participation in the management of the Review. Now there is a provision in the Review constitution which provides that any member of the four collegiate classes who has paid a full year's subscription previous to the 15th of April next preceding the annual Review election, shall be entitled to a vote for the editor in chief and all the associate editors at such election. The present collegiate classes contain 221 members, and at least one half of these belong to that class which Mr. Virtue claims are deprived of their rights. Now Mr. Virtue knows, if he has any knowledge whatever of this matter, that twenty-five paid up subscribers would have held the balance of power in the last election, and could have dictated their own terms. But it is an old story for the losing side to cry fraud; and I suspect those very friends of Mr. Virtue's who were so assiduous in protecting his honor were the same who a few years ago held positions on the Review and who would this year, could they have gotten them.
In making this reply I have the kindest feeling for Mr. Virtue, and the greatest respect for his honesty; but I do think if his friends would do as he did, be willing to invest more money and less advice for a share in running the college papers there would be broader representation and perhaps better papers.

University Professors as Lec-
turers.
The past year has seen considerable activity among the faculty members in the way of getting acquainted with the High School men and students of the state. Fully 100 lectures have been delivered over the state, under the auspices of the High Schools. Many of the lectures have been illustrated by means of an optical lantern and views.
The High Schools have profited by the acquaintance, and it goes without saying that the University has.
The topics treated cover a wide range among the departments of human knowledge. From the "ancient inhabitants of Kansas" treating of the famous vertebrate forms discovered in the cretaceous beds of northwest Kansas, to the modern applications of electricity is an immeasurable leap as to time.
The plans for next year are more ambitious, looking toward an establishment of regular courses, in fact, a step along the line of University extension. An association will likely be organized, and the work carried on systematically and consequently with more valuable results.
