THE thanks of the COURIER are due Mr. J. H. Sawtell for valuable assistance in the make up of the local and personal pages of this number.
All old students receiving this Midsummer Courier should preserve it to show to their friends. It contains much valuable information concerning the University, and it is to the interest of each and every student to to have the attendance increased next year.
The University Y. M. C. A. has issued neat little hand books, being a directory of the association and of the churches and principal places of interest in the city The college Y. Y.M.C.A.will extend to all students hearty welcome this fall.
Any students, who may be deficient in one or more branches, will have no difficulty in finding thoroughly equipped tutors whose work will receive the endorsement of the members of the faculty.
No one need stay away from the University through fear of not obtaining suitable boarding places in Lawrence. The accommodations are sufficient for all who come, and at reasonable rates. Young ladies can find homes near the University if they desire to be near their work.
Some men and some newspapers over the state have made it a point to malign the University on account of the fraternities. This is not justified by the facts. Some of the best students belong to the fraternities, while some equally good do not. If a student is otherwise capable of attending the State University he will not be injured by the fraternities, whether he joins one or not.
We are asked to say that old students are requested to send in names of young men and women who would probably be interested in looking over University catalogs and circulars. Copies of this number of the COURIER with supplement descriptive of the University can be supplied in numbers. Address all communications to Chancellor F. H. Snow.
The Courier cannot but regret the removal of Prof. J. H. Canfield to Nebraska, but the regents have filled his place with men of experience from the universities of the east. The work in American History will be continued on the same lines as laid down by Professor Canfield, and those who drop this work on account of the change in the faculty will make a mistake. This was not the first time Prof. Canfield had received tempting offers from other schools, but for fourteen years he remained with K. S. U., helping to place it in the front ranks of American universities. We congratulate the state of Nebraska on securing such an efficient president for its university.
The best "advertisements" of the University is its students. We believe that the students of the University of Kansas are as loyal to their institution as are the students of any institution in the United States. To aid the University, to advertise the University, and in any
way to advance the University's interests are self assumed duties of each University student. From this point of view it is almost need less to urge upon the students o the University the desirability and the patriotic duty of saying a good word or doing a good thing for the University at every offered opportunity. One way in which the students can especially assist in the building up of K. S. U. is by keeping an eye out for new students The bright boys and girls of the high school class all over the stat should know that there is such thing as an institution of higher learning in this state with all its advantages freely offered them Prof. James H. Canfield, chancello of the University of Nebraska, i quite specific in talking to the Nebraska students about this matter of college loyalty. He says "I it asking too much that each of you make a determined effort to bring at least one new student with you on your return?" Nebraska students have certainly no more reason to be energetic in aiding their institution than have Kansas students in aiding theirs. The COURTER hopes to see many friends o present University students arrive in the fall.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE.
There is an erroneous impression due to an acquaintance with university courses in the past years to the effect that a young man who has no other foreign language than Latin cannot be admitted to the University. There are two regular courses in the University in which Latin is the only foreign language required. A thorough course in English is substituted in these courses for the second foreign language.
In the fall of 1891 no foreign languages are required of candidates for admission to the Electrical Engineering course. In the fall of 1892 both French and German will be required in this course. The Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering courses being placed in that year on the same footing as to admission.
No foreign languages, of course, are required for admission to the professional schools; namely, The School of Law, School of Pharmacy and the School of Music and Art.
It is in the summer time that the principal work is done on the University collections. During the absence of students and the consequent relief from class work, the Snow Hall men have time to devote to museum work. Prof. Dyche with three helpers is hard at work mounting large mammals. He is engaged just at present on his great moose group. Chancellor Snow who is now in Colorado, expects to devote much time dueing his vacation to collecting insects, and has taken Mr. W.J. Coleman with him to assist in collecting. The University entomological collection is especially strong in Rocky Mountain forms and anything new from this region will be especially valuable. Collecting is being done at Lawrence and in its vicinity in the orders less strongly represented in the University collections.
SNOW HALL COLLECTIONS.
Mr. Stevens is adding some phenogams to the Herbarium and is working over a good collection of fungi which he gathered together during the year.
SPECIAL BULLETINS AND CIRCULARS.
For the purpose of explaining in detail the work offered by the various departments of the University several special bulletins and circums have been issued, which are sent free on application to the Chancellor of the University. There is now ready a program from the department of History and Sociology; a bulletin from the Greek department entitled "Opportunities for the Study of Greek in the University," a special announcement for 1891-92 of the School of Law; a program of the School of Music and Art; a special announcement from the school of Pharmacy; a bulletin of required and optional studies in the department of Mathematics and Astronomy; a four page bulletin of the School of Engineering; and for the special convenience of city superintendents and high school principals a bulletin from the department of German devoted especially to the work of preparation for the Freshman class; a "Circular Concerning Preparatory Work Required for Admission to the Latin English and General Language Courses;" a circular entitled "Suggestions to Superintendents and Principals of High Schools Concerning the Requirements in English for Admission to the Latin English or General Course;"a "Circular Concerning the Preparatory Work required for Admission to the Regular Collegiate courses of the University." An article from the holiday edition of the "Lawrence Journal," December 25. 1890 of about three thousand words descriptive of the University, is reprinted in a convenient circular form and will be sent in numbers to any friend of the University who may offer to distribute them adantageously. The Chancellor of the University will be glad to hear at any time from old students or other friends of the University with reference to the distribution of University catalogs and bulletins.
PREPARATION FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
One of the great questions in connection with the growth and development of the University is that of the preparation of candidates for admission to its Freshman class. The complete cutting off of the preparatory department renders it imperative that a suitable preparation be offered by other state schools. The schools which naturally are in position to offer this preparation and which stand in the
educational system of the state in the place of University preparatory schools, are the state high schools
schools, are the state high schools Some doubts have been expressed as to the ability of the state high schools to suitably prepare students for the University. These doubts are being rapidly dissipated. The high school work is standing the test of actual trial. Some of the Kansas high schools will compare favorably with any schools of similar grade in the country. The work is thorough and the standard is high.
The University by the adoption of the Latin English and General Language courses gives an opportunity to those state high schools which are not able to offer more than one foreign language to yet stand in close relation to the University. The list of accredited high schools is now being thoroughly revised and reports are being received from all the state high schools which are in position to fit their students for admission to the University. Several new high schools have wheeled into line since the publication of the last catalogue. Not a few of the state academies have adopted courses leading directly into the collegiate work of the courses of the University.
The Lawrence High School, than which no better high school exists in the state, is in an especially favorable position to prepare students for the University, and students who expect to attend the University and are deficient in their preparations and have no home opportunities for making up their deficiencies are advised to come to Lawrence and enter its high school,

THE SCHOOL OF LAW.
Additions to the Faculty, and a Good Growth.
The new catalogue and announcement of the School of Law for the year 1891-92 is just out. The faculty of the School of Law has been organized and greatly strengthened. Prof. James Woods Green continues as Dean of the School and will give instruction in Constitutional Law, Contracts, Evidence, Corporations, Agency and Domestic relations Mr. James Willis Gleed has been made Professor of Law and will give instruction in Real Property, Wills and Administration. Mr. Wm.
Baldwin Brownell, formerly Assistant Professor of English in the University, has been elected Assistant Professor of Law and will give instruction in International Law, Commercial Paper, Sales and Partnership. Hon. S. O. Thacher, Judge A.W. Benson and Hon. S.A. Riggs, have been elected regular lecturers and will give full courses of lectures as follows: S. O. Thacher, Equity and Equity Pleadings; A. W. Benson, Pleadings and Practice; S. A. Riggs, Torts and Law of Railroads. Mr. Riggs, by the way, has just received a diploma from his alma mater, Jefferson College, making him Master of Arts. Special lecturers on topics which can successfully be covered by one or two lectures will be delivered by leading members of the western bar. The list of special lecturers already engaged is a large one and includes many notable names. A complete list of the annual lecturers and their subject will be published later. This is an excellent feature in the new scheme, as the close contact with the leaders in the legal profession thus afforded must prove instructive and profitable to the student in many ways.
As heretofore, Moot courts will he held by each class every week during the term under the supervision of some member of the faculty, at each of which courts a cause previously assigned is taken up for practice in the conduct of legal causes and the discussion of legal principles.
Tuition in the School of Law remains free to students resident in Kansas. All applicants for admission who are candidates for the degree, except graduates of universities, colleges, normal schools, accepted high schools and academies, and persons presenting first or second grade teacher's certificates, will be required to pass satisfactory examinations in arithmetic, English grammar, geography, American and English history and English composition. Persons who have privately completed a part of the course are admitted to advanced standing in the Junior class on satisfying the faculty as to their qualifications. The school year for 1891-92 begins September 16, 1891. Examinations will be held September 17, 1891 at North College.
concerning the School of Law address Chancellor F. H. Snow or J. W. Green, Dean of the School, Lawrence, Kansas.
For catalogs and any information
School of Engineering.
The new School of Engineering promises to open well in the fall. While the school is a new thing, the work embraced in it has been of long standing in the University. The course of Civil Engineering was established in 1873, and graduated its first man in '75. The course has been strengthened by degrees, facilities have been added and the number of instructors increased, until the work as now offered will compare well with any four years' course in Civil Engineering in the best technical schools of our land. The success of so many of the C. E. boys after leaving school is a witness for the character of their work as students. Prof. Nichols opened the school of Electrical Engineering in 1887. That there is a demand for it is shown by the number of students taking it. This demand has been met by putting considerable money into the necessary plant of electrical apparatus and machinery and the new school finds itself pretty well equipped at the start. The change is one of organization rather than one leading to modification of the character of the work done. A few minor changes in course may be necessary to adjust the work of the two old departments to each other and their new conditions. Perhaps the most important of these is in the requirement for admission, which in 1892 will be the same for both courses and which will include both French and German, one year of each. For the coming fall however, the requirement will be as heretofore.
The new school is already a strong one in its faculty; in the variety and amount of its apparatus, instruments of precision of various forms for the E. E. students, and delicate apparatus for the electricals; in the completeness of all laboratory facilities;in its shop and forge, fitted with the best machine tools to be had; and in the number and quality of the students already attached to it.

HOWDY?
A man may live some places without books but he cannot dispense with this blessed invention while attending the Kansas State University. There are of course some few nardy characters who try each year to get along without these adjuncts to a University course, but the Faculty usually cut short their career without much ceremony. Now this being the fact, it is necessary that the students, both old and new, be advised of the best place to buy such books as may be needed. The Field & Hargis Book and Stationary company has been known as the "University book store" for a number of years, the members of the firm have made a careful study of the University trade, and always consult the different professors in regard to the books needed before purchasing new stock. If you know what class or what study you are in, Field & Hargis and their obliging clerks can tell you just what books you must have. Besides the text books needed, you will find here a full line of dictionaries and lexicons, encyclopedias, and other reference books. Also a full supply of artist's materials. But this is not all, you can scarcely name a book in history, poetry, biography, travel, essays, fiction, art or miscellany that is not on the shelves of the Field & Hargis Book and Stationary company, and if by chance you want a book which is not in stock, it will be obtained by special order from the publishers in the shortest possible time. Orders sent to this firm by mail will be promptly filled and satisfaction guaranteed. Address the Field & Hargis Book and Stationary company, 803 Massachusetts street.

Engel-Power.
On last Wednesday evening, June 24th, at the residence of the bride's parents, two miles east of town, was solemnized the marriage of E. F. Engel of Lawrence, Kap., and Miss Essie Power. The ceremony took place at 8:30 p.m. in the presence of sixty guests, Rev. M. B. Hyde, of Indianapolis, officiating. After congratulations had been offered, refreshments were served and all had an enjoyable time. Thursday afternoon the happy pair started for Sterling, Kansas, the home of the groom's parents, where they will visit till about Aug. 1st, when they will settle at Lawrence.
Mr. Engel is at present attending the Kansas State University and will finish his course there this year, after which he expects to teach.
The bride has always lived here, and no young lady would be more missed than she. In church work and entertainments she lias always taken a prominent part, and her place will be hard to fill. Mr. Engle is certainly to be congratulated in obtaining such an estimable young lady for his wife. Six years ago the bride made a visit to Kansas, and it was there she met Mr. Engel. We wish the couple unbounded success and happiness. —From a Milroy, Ind., paper.

Klock's Restaurant, 820 Massachusetts Street.
Of course most of the students will board in clubs and private families during the winter, but suitable places cannot always be found immediately and many find it more agreeable and convenient to remain at a restaurant all the year. If your work prevents you taking your meals regular, or if you desire special hours there is no place like a first class restaurant. Such a restaurant you will find kept by Fred Klock at 820 Massachusetts street. Here you will find a good table, first class service and prices moderate. If you want to board for a few weeks until you get settled, or if you want to try restaurant boarding call on Klock, 820 Massachusetts street.
To what old student does the name of Wiedemann not bring up pleasant memories of the past? Who has not eaten his ice cream and drank his soda? And his confectionery made by himself is the purest and best. When the students come back oysters in all styles, and when a banquet is to be served Wiedemann's the man to see. No one else has served so many students' parties, and knows so well how to please.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND ART
Its New Catalogue — Organization and Future Work.
When it was announced that the regents had abolished the sub-freshman drawing, with the other sub-freshman studies, and had also withdrawn the entire appropriation for the Art department we were at loss to know how it would be possible to continue the work in Art after the resignation of Miss Parker, with absolutely no financial inducement to offer to any one taking her place. The department, however, was placed in the hands of Professor Penny who had already acquired a reputation tor making the most out of limited resources, and the result has been that the Art department is placed upon a much higher standard than it has ever assumed before, needing only the generous patronoge of the public to make it a permanent school of the University instead of a mere department as it has been in the past. Neat circulars have been issued announcing that instruction will be given in September in all branches of drawing and painting under the direction of Prof. Geo. E. Hopkins. Prof. Hopkins has already made his reputation in the west, und especially in Kansas as an art teacher of much ability, having built up the fine art school at Topeka.
Miss Laura O'Bryon is to be the assistant teacher in drawing. She is a graduate of the University art course and is well known in town as a thorough and conscientious student and teacher. Freehand drawing is to be extensively taught in lead pencil, charcoal, India Ink and sepia. Instruction is to be given in both oil and water colors.
A fine press, acids, etc., for etching; and tools for wood carving have been secured as well as a new collection of casts, still life, draperies, etc., which in connection with the Classical museum, containing as it does, one of the best collections of antique casts, busts, reliefs, models, plates and photographs in the state, and with Professor Wilcox's excellent lectures upon the History of the Fine Arts, give the department a splendid start. Mr. Geo. E. Little, whose fine work is known to everyone interested in art, will teach the classes in etching and wood carving.
A Modeling Room is being fitted up for modeling in clay, and all the processes of making molds and casts of plaster.
The School of Music will open with a large register of new and old pupils from all parts of the state. Professor Penny is about to start on a trip to the principal cities of the state to hold entrance examinations. The regular two years collegiate course will contain six or eight seniors this year, thus making the graduating recitals a feature of the year's works. The Junior class will contain over a dozen students, and the preparatory class will be large.
A two years' free teachers' course has been added, and special features will be courses in vocal culture,pipe organ and violin: Professor Buch is now in Chicago hard at work with the celebrated teacher, Professor Jacobson, this being his second summer under his instruction. The school will take up the study of the oratorio of the Messiah in the fall. The weekly musical lectures and recitals will continue as usual.
A few press comments on some of the School of Music undertakings of last year are quoted:
THE COMMENCEMENT CONCERT. From the Lawrence Journal of June 3.
If there was one thing more than another revealed at the commencement concert last evening it was skill and artistic finish in pianoforte and vocal work. The activity of the School of Music has been remarkable. Since the opening concert in January there have been two public concerts and the music of Mendelsshon's to "A Midsummer Night's Dream," rendered upon five pianofortes with ladies' chorus, dialogue and scenery, all in University Hall; two lecture concerts upon musical forms, and one miscellaneous concert in North College music rooms, and two concerts by professional artists—Miss Neally Stevens and Prof. Hair. Besides this the School has been interested in the concerts for the organ fund, the Glee Club concert, the "Trial by Jury," and the vocal department has presented the oratorio of the "Holy City," and finally the opera of the "Bohemian Girl." But notwithstanding the large amount of work required for these eight concerts by the vocal and instrumental departments, and the four opera house events by the vocal department, the quality of the work cannot be questioned. No one attending the concert last night could fail to notice the improvement which has been made by the players and singers appearing on the program, in comparing their work with that of the January concert. The pianoforte selections were of the highest grade of difficulty;—being such selections as appear on the programs of the best professional artists, e. g. Chopin's Ballade in A flat, Brahm's Scherzo op. 4—Mozkowski's "Spanish Dance," so wonderfully played here by Miss Stevens; Liszts arrangement of the Spinning song, from the flying Dutchman—one of Prof. Perry's program pieces; Brahm's difficult left hand arrangement of Weber's rondo. These pieces were all played with that finish and high degree of execution that commands the closest attention and pleasure from a critical audience.
With the close of the first year's work in the School of Music under Dean Geo. B. Penny, a backward look warrants the statement that Prof. Penny has proved to be the right man in the right place. To the Dean's untiring energy and constant devotion to the interests of the school, is due the music department's present firm foothold. The reor-
organized School of Music and Art will enter its next year's work under most favorable circumstances. There will be at least six seniors and twice as many juniors in next year's classes. The lower classes promise to be full to overflowing. If the University is to maintain a School of Music at all, it should be a strong school, and this it now has
SCHOOL OF MUSIC CONCERTE
From the Lawrence Journal, Feb. 4
The School of Music at its second concert last evening fully sustained the high reputation which it gained at its first concert in University hall two weeks ago. The concert formed the opening reception of the school to its patrons and those who have subscribed towards the University pipe organ. The large rooms occupied by the schools were beautifully decorated with rugs, bric-a brace', pictures and flowers, the new grand piano seeming to rest in the midst of a bed of palms. The young lady ushers, the cozy little reception rooms, and the home like and artistic surroundings made a delightful accompaniment for a musical program.
Prof.Penny made his bow as a composer playing three original short pieces, an impromptu quite Chopin in its style,a dashing Valse Caprice, and an exquisite little Mazurka. These compositions showed that Prof. Penny is quite capable of writing very acceptably in the classical style of modern composers.
THE HANDEL & HAYDN SOCIETY,
From the Lawrence Journal, March 23d
The highly successful rendering of the ordartid of the Holy City by the Handel & Hayda Society last Thursday evening, again places this society upon a firm basis for work in the future, in the line of which it was organized several years ago.
Upon its list of membership the signature of many of our well known citizens, both ladies and gentlemen are to be found, and many who have left town permanently. The society is indebted to Prof. Penny for its renewed existence, who has thoroughly proved what can be done with even a small chorus composed mostly of students under a competent director. If such singing as was heard last Thursday night can be obtained from a chorus of 30, what results would follow if all the old members would review their associations with the society next fall when it takes up the study of the Messiah. Those who failed to attend the concert certainly missed the best performance of the highest class of choral music ever yet attempted by the society. With the possible exception of the Creation, the work was the heaviest yet attempted in all the past existence of the society. Prof. Penny has shown that the church is the place to give oratorio in, and that a pipe organ is indispensable to the proper rendering of this style of music. The "Holy City" concert proves again that we have all the talent necessary in town to give such works properly. Mrs.-Hayne's accompaniments showed that she is thoroughly capable of handling the most difficult choruses, her playing being distinguished by taste, expression and a technique smooth and firm. She was relieved in the work by the conductor, who played the accompaniments to three of the solos. No better trio of ladies' voices could be found than Miss Hutchings, Miss March and Miss Brown, the quality of their voices harmonizing beautifully, and each one in her solo sang most effectively. The audience was introduced to a new voice in Miss Berry, who displayed a freshness of tone and finish in rendering which captured the audience. Mr. Keys likewise did well. It was in the unaccompanied choruses, especially that the careful work of the director was shown, in the precision, careful phrasing, and shading from the softest to the loudest passages, altogether the affair was throughout highly creditable to the society, and gives promise of what the future may see in the way of a development of oratorio singing in our midst

ROCKS AND FOSSILS.
Dr. S. W. Williston, Professor of geology and paleontology, has returned with his party from his fossil hunting expedition in western Kansas. He has had phenomenal success, finding for the University about 80 saurians, 35 pterodactyls, 25 turtles, 4 birds, and several rare fishes. The saurians include two of the best ever taken from Kansas. The pterodactyls include every part of the anatomy, skull, sternum, shoulder, girdle, wings, vertebra, pelvic girdle and legs. There are several species among the specimens, one of which is believed to be new to science. In addition a splendid lot of shells, baculites, barites, and selenite crystals.
Mr. E. C. Case, who proved an efficient helper in Dr. Williston's party, has returned to his home in Kansas City. Mr. Sternberg, another member of the party, remains in western Kansas to collect for a famous European paleontologist, Karl Zittel.
Judge E. P. West, of the Geological Museum, who is now collecting in Logan county, reports excellent success. He is doing especially well in rhinoceros heads, having already found six well preserved skulls. He has made so large and valuable collection that a whole car will be chartered to bring in his material. He will come in soon and assist Dr. Williston in working out some of the most valuable of the recently acquired specimens.
PREPARATORY MEDICAL COURSE.
While the University does not as yet maintain a School of Medicine, yet a thorough preparatory medical course is offered. Of this preparator course the president of Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, writes: "A student who does faithfully the work cut out for him in your course will be admitted to our second year class". This course is intended in fact, to be equivalent to the first year of a regular three years' medical course.
Students will be admitted to this course who are graduates of recognized high schools of the state, or who pass examinations in arithmetic, history of the United States, outlines of history of algebra through progressions, plane geometry, geography (descriptive and physical) English composition, civil government and elements of physics. The work of this course consists of: First term, elementary chemistry, one half term; qualitative analysis, one half term; physiology, one half term; pharmacy and materia medica; comparative anatomy. Second term, general chemistry, one half term; physiological chemistry, one half term; urinary analysis, one half term; botany, one half term; materia medica. one half term; toxicology, one half term.
For special information encorning this course, address Chancellor F. H. Snow, Lawrence, Kansas.
The New Professors.
The resignation of Prof. James H. Canfield, regretted by all, has led to the reorganization of the work in history and political and social science. The two departments formerly known as those of American History and Civics, and History and Sociology respectively, have been combined into the one department of History and Sociology. This department is in charge of Prof. Frank Wilson Blackmar, Ph.D. To assist in the instruction in this department, the Board has elected F. H. Hodder, Ph.D., to be Associate Professor, and E. A. Adams Ph.D., to be Assistant Professor. Dr. Hodder is taken from the faculty of Cornell University. He has for the last year been pursuing historical studies in the University of Freiburg, Germany. He comes to the University of Kansas with a fine reputation for scholarship and teaching ability. Dr. Adams is a young man, a graduate of the University of Michigan and a brother of Prof. Henry C. Adams, Michigan University's Professor of Political Economy and Finance. Dr. Adams comes to the University with many good words from the strong men of eastern institutions.
Prof. Robert I. Fulton, A. M., (Ohio Wesleyan) now in charge of the School of Oratory, Kansas City, Mo., and Assistant Professor of Oratory and Elocution at Ohio Wesleyan, has been elected to be Assistant Professor of Elocution and Oratory. Mr. Fulton's work in the University during the second term of the last year displayed his abilities in his line of work.
In the School of Law Mr. William Baldwin Brownell, formerly Assistant Professor of English in the University, has been made Assistant Professor of Law. Mr. Brownell is well known to old students of the University, and is very popular among them. Since leaving the University he has devoted his time to the practice of law and returns well fitted for his new position. Hon. S. O. Thacher, Judge W. A. Benson, and Hon. S. A. Riggs have been added to the law faculty as regular lecturers. A very excellent list of special lecturers has also been made and the Law School is much strengthened in its teaching force.
Lawrence art circles as an accomplished artist. Arrangements have been made by which Mr. George E. Little of Lawrence,will give instruction in Wood Carving, Etching and Drawing. Some of Mr. Little's etchings have been given high praise by competent critics. Arrangements have also been completed for instruction in Italian to students in voice culture. The name of the instructor will not be announced until September.
In the School of Music and Art, Mr. George E. Hopkins, director of the Topeka Art School of the Kansas State Art Association, takes charge of the Art work. Prof. Hopkins studied several years abroad in the Munich Academy and under the instruction of Frank Dubeneck with whom he spent two years in Florence and Venice. He was in charge of the painting and lifef class of the Art Academy in Cincinnati for two years. Miss Laura M. O'Bryon is instructor in Drawing. Miss O'Bryon holds a certificate from the University School of Art and is well known in
The University Library.
One of the essentials of a well equipped university is a good library. The library of the University is not very large but contains a most admirable selection of books in its various departments. It is, perhaps, especially strong in the departments of history and sociology English philology and literature and the modern languages. The library contains 15,000 bound volumes and over 5,000 pamphlets. It is being cataloged according to the best modern system. The appropriations for additions to the library during the year 1891-92 is $3,500. A Harvard senior and a man of large acquaintance with college libraries in the United States is now reading in historical subjects in the University library. This gentleman was astonished and gratified to find so small a library capable of affording so excellent a selection of standard authors in his special line of study
The management of the library has the one object in view of giving it the greatest usefulness. Students are given every possible advantage to get the greatest benefit from their library work.

SCHOOL OF PHARMACY
The Strongest Pharmacal School in the West.
Our School of Pharmacy has a great advantage in being a part of a large university and having consequently at its service all the resources of its equipments in all directions. In botany, chemistry, physiology and physics,the students of the School of Pharmacy have the benefit of the instruction of the specialists in these departments in the University and use the University laboratories and collections. There are thus besides the special Pharmaceutical laboratories, two Chemical laboratories (for qualitative and quantitative analysis) Microscopical laboratories (for structural botany and pharmacognosy) and a Physical laboratory. The student of the School of Pharmacy is a member of the University. He has free access to the University library, and enjoys all those advantages which accrue from the association of a University community, which of themselves are of no inconsiderable importance.
The course of the School of Pharmacy covers two years of nine months each, as do the courses of the University of Michigan, the University of Wisconsin and other schools of the best standing in the United States. The high value of the University Schools of Pharmacy is generally recognized, and the diploma of the University of Kansas carries with it a definite standing that is of the greatest service to its possessor. Tuition in this school as in all departments is free to students resident in Kansas. The state, convinced of the necessity of sound training for those who stand in such close relation to public health, has provided and kept this schol with the single view of putting within the reach of young men and women of the state who choose to avail themselves of its advantages, the very best instruction in the theory and practice of Pharmacy. It supports the School generously from the State Treasury and looks to no pecuniary returns from the students. All that it asks of them is that they be prepared to receive the instruction which it so freely offers, and that they be earnest and diligent in their work. The State insists first and foremost that the training shall be thorough, practical and adequate; and that such training is offered is evident by a careful perusal of the just issued special catalogue of the School. This catalogue will be sent free to any one applying for the same.
Candidates for admission who are graduates of recognized high schools of the state are admitted without examination. Other candidates are admitted upon passing examinations in Arithmetic, History of the United States, Geography (descriptive and physical), English Grammar and Civil Government.
For catalogue and any information concerning the School of Phar
macy address Chancellor F. H. Snow or L. E. Sayre, Dean of the School, Lawrence, Kansas.
The "Chinch-Bug" Laboratory.
Since the close of school, work in the chinch-bug Experiment Station has gone on unceasingly and the results of this year's work so far are highly encouraging. In the absence of Chancellor Snow the work is looked after by Mr. Stevens and Mr. Kellogg with the assistance of Mr. Hickey in the field, Mr. Schraeder in the laboratory and Mr. Stotler in the office. About 2500 lots of infected bugs have been sent out so far. The reports now being daily received are, in the main, favorable and indicate the great value of the work which Chancellor Snow has undertaken. The laboratory has been visited by Prof. S. A. Forbes, State Entomologist of Illinois, and Prof. Herbert Osborne, a leading entomologist of Iowa. Prof. Forbes is carrying on laboratory experiments in the same line as the work in the Kansas laboratory and expressed himself as being greatly astonished with the extent of the practical field work already done in Kansas. Orders for a magnificent Zeiss microscope and accessories have been placed with Eimer & Amend the New York importers. Some fine American objectives are also being purchased. Since the close of school much attention has been paid in the laboratory to the making of pure cultures of the two disease causing fungi, Sporotrichum and Empusa. Many bacterial cultures and mount have bee made and comparisons with the bacteria discovered by P. of. Forbes in Illinois' chinch-bugs have been instituted.
A Gentle Hiat.
Show me the man that don't like a stylish hat, tie or glove. You can't do it. There is nothing nicer than a neat tie or a stylish looking hat. The plain back kid glove will be the proper thing this fall and winter; light and dark fancy vests are quite severe. Black socks still lead in gents' hosiery. You ask, where can we always get these stylish fads? ABE LEVY, LAWRENCE'S POPULAR Hatter and Harberdasher, carries the most complete ling of gent's outfittings in the city. Give him your trade and you will always be happy.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Something About its History and Present Condition.
The first meeting of the first board of Regents of the University of Kansas was held 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 a 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, three 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 know as the Main building. The bui ding 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 cloak rooms are in the basement.

stone building, was erected in 1885-86 at a cost of $50,000. It contains twenty-two rooms, laboratories, offices, storage rooms, and taxideum 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 seventeen feet respectively, and an ante of twelve feet. Its museums are designed to make a complete exhibit in 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 amphitheatre style, will a commodate 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 $16,000, appropriated by the legislature of 1887, the entire steam heating plant was 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, 86x 48 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.

THE COLLECTION.
The limits of this article prelude any thing 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 Kausas, 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 very satisfactory representation of the plants, insects, birds, minerals and fossils, not only of the state of Kansas, but also of the whole of North America.
The Herbarium includes more than four thousand species of plants represented by a much larger number of specimens.
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 Mineralogical collection is valued at $5,000. The Conchological collection contains over one thousand species of shells from all parts of the world. An alcoholic collection of marine ivertebrates is one of the most valuable in all Snow Hall to the student.
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 taxidermie work of Proof, 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 sand stone, and a striking series of Cretaceous vertebrates.
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. DEPARTMENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY
The University of Kansas is not only a University in name but in fact. From the first the institution was planned as a University, but the professional schools were not opened for some years. 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 six regular courses. 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 year; Latin English and 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 examination or by presenting a certificate from the principal of any 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 is FREE in all the departments of the University to Kansas students.
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.
Historic Novels for Summer Reading.
The German department asks students who contemplate taking the course in German Historical Novels the coming year to read this summer at least one of the following novels in the light of the outline which was printed in the commencement issue of the Courier. Notes should be made while reading, and a careful criticism written out on finishing. This suggestion is one which would be very beneficial for others than those designated, and the influence of such a careful examination of one work of fiction would be felt in all reading done thereafter. Even if one has already read the book, it would do him good to read it again under guidance of that outline.

Grasshoppers in Kansas.
The recent grasshopper scare in Colorado and Western Kansas is allayed. Chancellor Snow went to the grasshopper infested region in Colorado and discovered the grasshoppers to be a local species and not the dreaded Rocky Mountain Locust. Grasshoppers reported to be injurying alfalfa near Garden City, Kansas, being sent in to the University were discovered to be two species closely allied to the Rocky Mountain Locust, but not possessing the migratory habit of the dead pest, so that there is no danger to Kansas crops from these grasshoppers. Some tentative experiments looking toward the possible infection of grasshoppers in a way similar to the chinch-bug method have been made at the University this summer. The experiments so far give no hope of success.
