HONEST VOTERS.
The Students Work the Streets and the Street Commissioner.
At the primaries this spring to elect delegates for the congressional convention, a number of University students voted for R. W. Blue for candidate for congress. Such action on the part of the students was distasteful to a number of political magnates who realized that unless the students were scared out of voting again, they might get in the habit of doing so and defeat many of their nicely laid political plans. So, in order to accomplish their object, it was decided that the students who had the temerity to vote against the dictating political managers, must be made to work out their poll tax. Consequently about twenty-five students who had voted for Col. Blue were warned to appear at the court house last Saturday morning with shovels.
Those students who were called out, went to their friends and requested them to come out and help them work their poll tax. Every man was able to secure from three to ten assistants, and in order that the plan might be definitely understood a mass meeting was held on the campus Friday at the end of the fourth hour. A captain and assistants were elected, the policy explained and all agreed to meet at North College next morning at 7:30 and then proceed to the court house with shovel or spade.
At 7:30 o'clock Saturday morning many a peaceful citizen was awakened from his morning slumber by a rousing Rock Chalk, coming from the vicinity of North College. By 8 o'clock the crowd had gathered and a double file line of march was taken up for the court house. As the crowd marched down Massachusetts street they offered an unusual spectacle. All were clad in typical working costumes. Flannel shirts, overalls, slouch hat, one suspender, a red handkerchief and a short stemed pipe made up each individual outfit.
Arriving at the court house, those who had been summoned enrolled and under the angry and excited direction of J. Ira Brown, entered their names and assistants. The number of Smiths, Jones and Browns among the students was very large but they were all received. The street commissioner, with the eye of a general, proceeded to divide the gang. A party of about ten he sent to Winthrop street under the charge of a trusty lieutenant. The major portion of the crowd he himself took charge of, leading them over to Mississippi street. But by the time the place of work had been reached, the street commissioner realized that he had caught a tartar. He commenced work but his angry passions soon got the better of him and leaping into his wagon he left the students while they were even begging him to give them work.
Having no work the crowd knew
nothing else to do but to put in their time. This they accomplished by going through the manual of arms with their spades and shovels Mr. Brown, street commissioner hearing that the boys had not dispersed as he thought they would do, sent for them to come over to east Lawrence and work Henry street. The "gang" readily complied with the request, and were soon on Henry street, under the command of a good natured "cop." working hard. They continued working hard until a quarter of 12 when organizing in a line of march they proceeded to Winthrop street picked up the other crowd, marched to the post office, down Massachusetts street and then to the courthouse where they secured their certificate for sixteen hours of work. A hard rain was falling all the time but it took more than a rain to stop that crowd. Forming again by twos they returned to the post office where a number of rousing speeches were made on such subjects as the Post Office. Honest Voters, The Dignity of Labor and other similar subjects. Among the speakers were W. H. Piatt, J. A. Rush, H. S. Hadley, R. D. Brown, Sam Bishop, J. W. Green, J. A. Peairs, et al. One of the most acceptable addresses was made by Col. Dolbee, of Willow Springs, who on sizing up the crowd had become imbued with their spirit and offered every student who had worked on the streets a free dinner at Chris Eppley's.
The speaking over,the crowd 150 strong proceeded to Col. Eppley's popular hostlery and began with great enthusiasm to discuss the elegant menu. All were well fed and to make everything complete, Judge Dolbee further demonstrated his right to be called a prince of good fellows, by passing round a box of cigars. After dinner the crowd gradually dispersed having first sent Judge Blue a telegram stating that although they had worked the streets, as a penalty for voting for him for congress, they were still with him.
This was the way the students worked the streets. They proved that although their being summoned out was a rank injustice, they had respect for the law, and that a university education doesn't unit a man for working with his hands. That only those who voted for Blue were compelled to work and those who voted for Funston let off, reflects very discreditably upon the city authorities; and any way the students should be permitted to vote as they please and not be compelled to work their poll tax here. Eight hundred people are brought to Lawrence by the University, and these eight hundred people spend over $200,000 per annum in this city. If in return for this the students are not to be permitted to exercise the right of American citizens without working on the streets the people of Lawrence are guilty of littleness and stinginess. The
students should work out their poll tax at their own homes, and not in a town in which they are only temporary residents.
Next year the political fixers will discover that the students will go to the polls and cast their votes for the man of their choice, and it would be no great surprise if some of the old barnacles would be ruthlessly cut off and officials elected to manage the business of Lawrence who will do justice to the University and the students. H.
Science Club.
The annual meeting of the science club for the reading of papers showing the results of original investigation revealed the fact that valuable work is being done by both students and professors in all the departments. The true scientist is not content to follow the beaten paths but strikes out on a line of original work. It is the spirit of inquiry which is rewarded with discovery. It is not always possible to obtain immediate benefits from investigation. The chancellor spent years before he was able to announce an effective method of destroying chinch bugs, but the result of his work has proved a great benefit to the state. His first report was made before the science club last year. While the papers this year did not report any startling discoveries, they did show that K.S. U. is energetic and wide awake to all the interests of science. The following partial report will show the character of the papers:
Prof. Marvin read a paper on magnetic declination. The law requires surveyors to make reports of declination four times a year. From these the professor has made an isoganic chart of the state which shows a gradual change in declination from $9^{\circ}.5$ in the eastern part of the state to $10^{\circ}.5$ in the west. The lines are very irregular, forming closed curves in Ellsworth county and doing nearly the same in Wilson county. This fact probably indicates mineral deposits, a fact valuable to geology.
Prof. Bailey and Mr. Noble reported the analysis of some Nemaha mineral waters which possess medicinal properties.
Prof. Sayre proved that the usual method of testing pepsine is not reliable, since often those preparations, shown by it to be the best, may be really injurious, the pepsine becoming parapeptone in the process of digestion.
Mr. V.L.Kellogg's paper showed the peculiar striated structure of the scales on butterflies wings. There are from twenty to thirty thousand of these to the inch and they act like a refraction grating in producing the peculiar tints of the butterflies wings.
Mr. C. E. McClung explained a new method of determining nitrogen.
Prof. Murphy gave an exceedingly fine demonstration by graphic method of the fact that in a parabolic arch rib with a concentrated
Prof. Williston described a new species of pterodactyls which has been discovered in the western part of the state. The species has been named in honor of Judge West.
Interesting papers were read, showing the work of our civil engineer graduates; one on the graphic method for angle blocks in the Howe truss, by A. S. Riffle who is a member of a bridge company at Portland, Oregon, and one by H. E. Riggs upon the construction on a $4^{\circ}$ curve of a viaduct at Ann Arbor Mich.
Economic Association.
The southwestern branch of the American Economic association had an interesting meeting last Friday evening at the University. Besides the regular members, numbering about sixty, a large audience was present and a most profitable evening was spent: Mr. J.W. Gleed read a instructive and entertaining paper on the "Civil Government," Mr. John A. Rush also offered a carefully prepared paper on "Corporations and Corporation Laws," after which there was a general discussion by the members.
The object of the society is to promote correct thinking and intelligent action by the systematic study of economic question in the southwest. All questions of economic importance are to be discussed in an entirely scientific manner and not in the interest of any clique; partnership is to be subservient. It is the intention of this society to help the member think correctly and to inform the people of the east that here in the west there exists critical minds which are able to cope with the living issues of the day.
Local circles will be organized all over the country,but will be subsocieties of the southwestern branch Admittance to membership is $3. The publications of the society, six in number, are worth this amount and each one is entitled to them by virtue of membership.
Branch associations have been formed at Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City, and much interest is being manifest.
Of the Southwestern association, Prof. Blackmar is president and John L. Sullivan of Kansas City is secretary. J.W. Gleed and H.F. Chase of Topeka, J.E. Pears of Lawrence, and H.L.Dogett of Kansas City are members of the executive committee.
Mr. S. W. Traylor, a special student in chemistry, will spend the summer in the assay office of a Denver smelter.
Mr. D. G. Linares, of Mexico, who has been doing special work here in chemistry, will practice assaying at the Argentine smelter.

CHAPEL RHETORICALS.
For some time the need for more and better opportunities for practice in public speaking has been felt by the faculty and students of the University. Since the old chapel rhetoricals were abolished several plans have been adopted, but none have met with any marked success. While a college graduate is always expected to be able to suitably address a public audience, but few who have left the University of Kansas within the past few years could be relied upon to give any sort of an address. This year so strong was the need of some such practice felt that the students held a second oratorical contest and while it did not accomplish all that was expected of it, it was certainly a move in the right direction. As none of these experiments proved eminently successful, the faculty have finally determined to re-establish the old chapel rhetoricals, but only from juniors and seniors are orations exacted.
A change has also been made in the time of chapel exercises. Instead of convening at 8.45 they will be held at 10:30, lasting a half hour. This will necessitate the meeting of the first and second hour classes a half an hour earlier. The first hour class will convene at 8:30 and the second at 9:30 hereafter. This will bring the hour of chapel when most all students are on the hill and will tend to increase the attendance. Then also the time of meeting will bring all students together once at least during the day. While the attendance at chapel exercises 'will not be compulsory, it is expected there will be a vast increase in the attendance.
The new regeme seems a very wise one and will doubtless accomplish the desired results. The plan will not only increase the attendance at chapel, but will afford an excellent practice in public speaking, and the Courier wishes it all possible success.
BASE BALL.
Just at present any comments on discussion of base ball is not at all pleasant. However, it may be best to take a retrospective glance at the work of our team this year in order that we may see "The rock on which they split" and thus avoid their errors.
That we lost the pennant this year through the lack of practice is beyond question and the cause of this can be attributed to no one individual or number of individuals. It was not because the right man did not have charge of the team or because the best players were not selected; but because there was no general ball playing or systematic practice. Owing to the exceedingly wet spring, the McCook field could not be put in shape, and the city ball park had to be resorted to for practice. This ground was occupied almost constantly by the Lawrence club, and consequently the systematic training of the University's club was impossible. Any encouragement to ball practice outside of the nine was out of the question and the regular players had to rustle hard to get themselves in any "shape" at all. As a consequence, when any of the regular team were laid off there was comparatively no one to fill the vacancy.
At the beginning of the year we had a fairly good team. Indeed there was better material this year than ever before and all that seemed necessary was a little systematic practice. But just that practice the team did not have. While Baker's club grew in strength and improved with training our club, for the lack of it, did not, and was consequently defeated.
Next year we will have our own grounds, and can practice to our hearts' content. There should, and probably will be, at least forty candidates for the team next year, when some encouragement to new players can be offered, and every man should be kept in constant practice.
However, let us profit by the experience of this year. It may indeed have been fortunate for base ball in the University, that we were defeated this spring; for now some of our players will realize, who have never appreciated it before, that they cannot play ball without hard and constant practice.
The American society for the extension of University teaching will open in Philadelphia, on October 1st, a seminary for the study of American educational problems and for the training of University extension lecturers and organizers. The Seminary will be under the direction of Prof. E. J. James, president of the association, who will be assisted by a corps of the best educators in the United States. More than a hundred leading American colleges and universities are co-operating in the work of extension teaching and this new departure cannot fail to accomplish much good. It will be of especial interest to all Kansas educators, as the subject of university extension has greatly interested the people of the state during the past winter.
By next year the University of Kansas will have the best athletic field in the state. During the summer the grading and leveling will be completed, a large grand stand erected, and the whole field surrounded by a high board fence. A regular trainer will be secured next fall to coach our foot ball players and aspiring athletes, and with such opportunities as will then be afforded, great things will be expected along the line of athletics.
In the annals of the American Academy of Political and social science for May, is an article on "Indian Education" by Prof. F.W. Blackmar. The Review of Reviews for June contains an interesting paper, also by the same author, on Indian education at Haskell Institute. Both are exceedingly valuable treaties and reflect credit not only upon the professor but also upon the University.
The University of Kansas now has as fine and complete a system of electric lighting as any in the United States. It was put up, and is operated entirely by the students of the University.
The Graduating Recitals.
The graduating recitals. The graduating recitals of the class of '92 were continued last week, the fourth being that of Miss Daisy Orton on Friday evening. A full house greeted the fair graduate. All were delighted with the biliancy and finish of her touch and execution, especially on the Rubinstein Valse Caprice, the Moszkinski number and the smaller selections. Miss Orton was assisted by Miss Titsworth who rendered a vocal solo in a beautiful and charming manner.
The last recital was given by Miss O.in Bell on Tuesday evening, May 31. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity, many people standing during the entire program. Mrs. Bell gave a very heavy program for a young graduate,it being equivalent to that given by several concert, artists here the past winter. Mrs. Bell had the assistance of Mr. J. W. Bell in a vocal number and Buch's orchestra on the closing number. The Chopin grand polonaise. The execution was especially fine and on this difficult number which brought the series of recitals to a most brilliant close.
The library has just received an addition of one hundred and seventeen volumes of periodical literature. This gift is through Chancellor Snow, from a brother in-law, the late Charles A. Aiken, D. D., formerly a professor of the Princeton Theological Seminary. There are thirty volumes of the North American Review, dating from 1852; The London Quarterly Review from 1851 to 1864 and twenty-eight volumes of the North British Review in the collection. This accession will give, hereafter, much more available material when using Poole's index. There is also included in the gift a large folio edition of the Rule of Conscience by Jeremy Taylor, published in 169e.

Hon. J. Caesar.
The class of '92 showed their originality by present a burlesque on Julius Caesar instead of the usual class day program. The play was given Saturday night. Through the courtesy of the seniors the juniors occupied the boxes. The audience was large and appreciative.
The play was presented in a new and startling manner. The costuming showed the inventive genius of each character. R. D. Brown as Calphurnia and Eugene Caldwell of Portia exhibited a charm and grace which was striking. The character of Julius Caesar was taken by Truitt. His diminutive figure and his activity at the funeral oration made the interpretation of the character highly ludicrous.
Harold Barnes as Mark Antony showed himself a player of no mean meritt He preserved a true conception of the character which he assumed throughout the entire play.
Hadley and Sawtell as Brutus and Cassius introduced many inovations. Even the plebs, the thunder god and Pompey's statue would have made a first rate actor blush.
The local hits were numerous and senior wit abounded in every sentence. No one escaped a roasting from the street commissioner up through barbs, frats, juniors and faculty.
By the presentation of the play the seniors linked their memory with that of the Hon. Jay Caesar himself and have thus made themselves illustrious among all the classes of the University, past and future.

Additions to the Library
Mr. T.E.Bowman, of Topeka,gave one hundred dollars to the department of sociology for the purchase of books to develop the subject, Status of Woman, and Mrs. Lucy Stone, of Boston, donated twenty-one volumes of the Woman's Journal.
The University library during the year of '91-'92 has added 2,382 volumes to its collection. Most of these books have been purchased with the annual appropriation of $3,500. Some of the departments have been fortunate in receiving additions otherwise than by purchase, as for instance:
The late Judge E. P. West, bequeathed twenty-five volumes to the geological department.
Mr. F. A. Brockhans, of Leipsig has just presented about five hundred volumes to the German department. Mr. W. W. Fluke, of Lawrence, through Prof. L. I.Blake gave thirty volumes of the Scientific American. Col. W. W. Rossington, Topeka, gave one hundred and thirty seven volumes of the Bohn Standard Library. Prof. T. E. Stimpson, Lawrence, added twenty miscellaneaus volumes and from the library of Dr. Charles A. Aiken, of Princeton, one hundred and seventeen volumes of periodical literature has been received. Another loan library has been placed in the book room through the kindness of Mr. Frank Riddle, Lawrence. It consists of ninety-five volumes of geological works.
These are the significant points in the growth of the library since the first of September. The year closed with 17,182 volumes.
To the collection of Kansas books was added, by purchase, the Kansas library of Rev. J. W.D. Anderson of one hundred and twenty-five volumes.

[interesting History.
It was not long before people began to note the superiority of the Browning, King & Co., clothing. Their store soon became too small for their business and their factory not able to supply it with clothing. They enlarged their factory and put a store in another city.
About twenty years ago in the rapidly growing city of Chicago, Browning King & Co. opened a store to supply men and boys with the best clothing on earth. As they could not be assured of this if they trusted other manufacturers to make clothing for them (for up to then there had been no best clothing made) they resolved to make their own, which they did.
Their kind of clothing proved its superiority there as well as in Chicago. Now if this was the case in two cities why not in all cities—for people are pretty much alike the world over—they don't all know a good thing when they see it but most of them do when they try it. So Browning King & Co., went to making more clothing,starting more stores and now have twelve in leading cities of the United States. Kansas City, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Louis Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Omaha and Brooklyn. They are now the largest manufacturers and retailers of clothing in America and it has all come about by their making and selling the best clothing in America.
THE K. S. U.
Which is now about the age of Browning, King & Co., has grown to its present size and popularity because it has taught the people sense—good common sense the best thing mortals can possess except the Browning, King and Co. clothing. You see you want your senses to go all the way through. A bare mind in a dressed up body is worse than a dressed up mind in a bare body—for such a mind would have sense enough to send at once to send at once to Browning, King & Co. to dress up the body, whereas a mind without any sense would go anywhere for clothing. This is how we know the K. S. U. teaches sense. The boys buy the Browning, King & Co. clothing.

Prof. K Dome-Geza.
This is the Hungarian name of our new professor of the violin. The Hungarians place their family name first and their given name last—Geza translated into English is Caesar, and K. is a title of nobility like the German von. The violinist is therefore a Hungarian nobleman, and will be known as Prof. Geza Dome. The professor has a reputation all through the west as the finest violinist west of the Mississippi, and those who heard him play at his opening concert in music hail, all went away with that opinion. He has all the beauty of tone of Remenyi, whose pupil he was for a long time, and his playing carried everyone away with enthusiasm. The new professor is a great acquisition to the school of music.
Thirteen hundred people heard the concert by the school of music in University hall last Thursday night. of course the capacity of the hall was taxed to its utmost and about two hundred had to stand. It was by far the finest concert ever given by the school and reflected much credit upon the instructors.

DEPARTMENTS.
Pharmacy, Geology and Electrical Engineering.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The department of geology has in progress a collection of the rocks and economic building material of the state, which will be exhibited at the Columbian exposition. At present specimens of rocks have been obtained from about fifty localities, and further collections will be made during the coming summer and autumn by Prof. Williston.
The material so far obtained i including numerous specimens of clays and cement materials, in addition to the building stones, have been chemically analyzed, and over one hundred microscopical specimens have been prepared. With the machinery that will be put up during the coming month, the various stones will be cut to a uniform size of about six inches square and smoothly polished on one side. Other blocks will be cut from each specimen for testing the strength by the new and expensive machinery, now shortly to be erected by the department of civil engineering. The collection will be accompanied by a report upon the geology, chemical and microscopical composition, and the strength of the various specimens of building material. The collection, after its return from Chicago, will be given special cases in the geological museum, where it will, undoubtedly, form a valuable reference collection for builders, architects and engineers.
SCHOOL OF PHARMACY.
In the first years of the existence of the school of pharmacy it labored under many untoward conditions and had many hard struggles to maintain its existence. It has now, however, risen above the embarrassments of poverty and has won the confidence of those who at first regarded it with cautious reserve, and its faculty has at last the satisfaction of knowing that it stands in the same category with the best pharmaceutical institutions.
The public is fast becoming aware of the fact that schools conferring degrees on short-cut courses cannot send out men of symmetrical development and systematic training. There are many branches closely allied to pharmacy which demand consideration at the hands of the pharmaceutical student. Schools situated outside of the University have great difficulty if they are at all able to provide proper instruction in these allied branches. The school of pharmacy of the University of Kansas has all the advantages which its Alliance with a true University can give it.
The requirements for admission to the school of pharmacy are not as rigid as those of the regular collegiate courses. They are, however, sufficient to insure a class of students having acquired the elements of a liberal education. The constant additions to the equipment of
the pharmacy laboratories with the new and improved methods constantly being introduced have enabled the school to make a considerable increase in the work offered and required in its two years' course. The just issued catalogue of the school of pharmacy indicates a considerable progress in all lines since the issuance of last year's catalogue. A new Materia Medica cabinet containing 500 specimens is in course of building. A room to contain the new set of balances which are soon to be purchased will be fitted up. The appropriations made by the board of regents at their last meeting have made possible the purchase of a number of high grade microscopes, besides a large amount of other new and needed apparatus. The sudents of next year will enjoy many advantages never before offered by the school.
The prospects for the attendance next year are most flattering, judging by the number of inquiries daily received concerning the work of the school.
Prof. Sayre will spend the summer in Europe learning something of the continental methods of instruction in pharmacy. The school, altogether, is in a most healthy and encouraging condition.
Information concerning the work of the school, the requirements for admission, etc., will be cheerfully given on application to the Chancellor of the University, or to the dean of the school.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. The course in electrical engineering has had nearly sixty students in the past year. This course is devised to fit young men both in theory and practice for electrical engineers. A large part of the work is machine shop practice and electrical testing.
In the shop the boys work under charge of an experienced foreman, and his assistant, and learn forge work, bench work, and machine work. The students have constructed the past year from rough castings, from the Flather company, Nashua, N. H.,a $400 screw cutting engine lathe, also a speed lathe and emery grinder, besides innumerable small tools.
The physical laboratory has some dozen rooms, equipped with about $15,000 worth of apparatus for experiments. In part of the course the student devises and constructs any electrical appliances that promises to be good, and this way the ingenuity of the student is developed.
The students have put in this year, a 500 light incandescent plant and wired one of the large buildings. The plant is to be both for lighting the buildings and for a great variety of experimental work. The students have also work in mathematics, French and German, in mechanical drawing,and in chemistry and physics.
During the past year over $3000.00 worth of apparatus has been added to the department, until

now $10000.00 worth of machinery is in the shop. Each year the regents have appropriated generally so, that the department will soon be as well equipped as any of the longer established courses in other colleges.
During the summer vacation many of the students obtain practical work in various electrical light plants, and some of the them who have gone, have already secured lucrative positions.
During the next year, the laboratory course will be strengthened by new apparatus, and new instructors. In the laboratory corps will be Mr. E. W. Shepard, of Cornell, first assistant, Mr. M. E. Rice, second assistant, Mr. Lawrence Page, third assistant, while Mr. Frank E. Ward is Supt., of the machine shops, with two assistants. During the year much original work in the telephone has been done.
Glee and Banjo Club.
The substitution of the Glee and Banjo club on the lecture course seems to have been satisfactory to nearly all the holders of tickets. The audience which greeted the club was large and enthusiastic. The boys lacked some of the dash and vigor which was characteristic of their concert on the tour but this may be laid to the fact that they had spent the day in working their pole tax. The program was well selected. The banjo club alternating with the glee club members made a pleasing variety. Dan Crew as a solist maintained the popularity which he has justly won before Lawrence audiences. His improvised verses containing local bits were a feature of the program.
The banjo club is the best club of the kind in the state and it will compare favorably with any college club. Its members were of a high order especially the banjo trio and the mandolin reverse.
The Glee Club lacks solo voices. The choruses, however, were well rendered. "Estudiantine" with the modifications necessary to adopt it to our own University is a selection that can hardly be surpassed as a college song and it was given with true college spirit.
The Glee and Banjo Club will be a feature of our college year hereafter. The club contains some ex
cellent material. With the training which it will receive and the addition of new voices next year it will be able to do much towards increasing the popularity of K.U. The annual tour this year was the result of the energy of the individual members of the club. Next year it should be made in the interests of some University institution as the pipe organ fund, and it should have the support of the school.
University of Kansas' Exhibit at the World's Fair-Prof. Dyche and His Museum.
Just now Professor Dyche is the busiest man in the University. He and five assistants are hard at work making great preparations for his exhibit of North American animals at the World's Fair. At least 100 animals are to be mounted and ready for exhibition by the first of December when the Professor expects to leave. Two-thirds of the work is already completed and the remainder is "coming fast; with head up; and tail arising."
The groups even now, as they appear in the large bare room of Snow hall, are fine beyond description. Among the latest animals mounted are several caribou, two or three moose calves, and a magnificent old buck elk, who surpasses them all in his beauty and grandeur.
The exhibit will include a fine group of nine moose, the old buck standing over seven feet high; ten Rocky Mountain sheep; seven Rocky Mountain goats; eight elks, seven antelopes, five caribon, five buffalo, twelve deer, including mule white tailed, Virginia and others; eight wolves, timber and coyote; five mountain lions, six bears, twelve foxes, including a beautiful silver grey; besides a large number of lynx, wildcats and other small animals.
Commanche, the only surviving war horse of the Custer massacre, is being mounted and will be on exhibition.
At Chicago, the entire northwest wing of the Kansas building will be occupied by the exhibit of North American mammals of the University of Kansas. This wing is 88 by 60 feet on the ground floor, is 30 feet in height and has no windows,the light being admitted from the roof which is entirely of glass. The floor space is to be built up so as to represent a natural landscape, with rocks, grass willows, quaking asp and natural fir and evergreen trees. On either side will be built a tall cliff and in between,a valley with a running stream of water, a lake and a swamp. The moose will be seen in natural positions in the cranberry and tamarack swamps,the goats and the sheep on the rocky cliffs and the buffalo on the level prairie.
The exhibit will be a big feature of the fair and an especially fine advertisement for the University of Kansas. All friends of the University and indeed, of Kansas, may well be proud of this exhibit and of Prof. Dyche, to whose energy it is due.

Slow Playing and a crippled Team the Cause—Score 4 to 2
The K. S. U. team suffered its first defeat of the season on Decoration Day, and it was Baker that administered the dose. It was a well played game and the Bakerites won simply because they played better ball. K.S.U. played a slow game which lacked "ginger" throughout. Our boys were in hard luck. Simmons had a lame hand, Piatt was sick and had to retire, and in this crippled condition, the boys lost confidence. The fielding was ragged at times, and slow all the way through, the batting was very weak. In two different innings the bases were filled with no one out, but the side went out in one, two, three order without bringing in a run.
A number of changes had been made in the Baker team, and the whole nine showed evidence of hard and systematic practice. Every member of the team played well. Dudgeon pitched an excellent game but was a little wild.
Neither club scored until the sixth inning, when each got a run. For Baker, Taylor was hit by a pitched ball, stole second, and came in on a couple of errors.
In the second half Kinzie was given a life by Rice's muff of his liner. He stole second and came home on a wild throw by Beeks. K. S. U. took the lead in the next inning. Sherman hit for two bases and came home on Crawford's single.
Baker won the game in the ninth. Toomey hit a vicious grounder which Crawford stopped half way out to the fence and threw to first, but Toomey beat it out. Rice raised a high fly to short right field which some one should have got,but it fell safe. Wright and Ernest hit safe and Skinner's ground hit was fumbled and three runs came in. K. S. U. tried hard to score in her half of the inning. Crawford made a long single but tried to make a two bagger of it, and was thrown out at second, and Sherman and Hogg went out at first.

NOTES.
Piatt was taken sick and had to retire in the sixth inning. Harding took his place and was presented with a base on balls the only time he came to the bat.
Simmons should not be put on first base again till his hand has healed. That split finger of his interfrees both with his batting and fielding.
Sherman was not hit very hard, but K. S. U. must not expect the pitcher to win the game alone.
The field day sports were held Saturday, the 28th, on the Massachusetts street ground. A rain had made the ground rather slippery and soft, but in spite of this the records were fairly good. The exercises were interesting and some of the contests were quite amusing. A large crowd witnessed the sport. The contests requiring a track were held at the driving park.
Field Day.
Field day will be looked forward to with more interest next year. We will have our own grounds and apparatus for training. There are men in the school, who with proper training, will show great skill in the sport and the athletic board no doubt will see that they are interested.
The best records in eastern colleges are made by western men. We should be able to point with pride to ours. Some of them compare favorably now with those of the east. They are gradually being raised. This year Kuntz brought up the ball throwing record a foot and a half. Our teams have done well in the field and it is a result of taining. The same attention to the field day sports would result in similar excellence.

Kappa Kappa Gamma.
The best planned social event of the season was the Kappa Kappa Gamma party last Friday night. It was given at the residence of Mr. Bowersock on Tennessee street. No place could be better suited for a lawn party. The yard was brilliantly lighted with Japanese lanterns. Hammocks were hung along the walks. The pavillion, with its perfect floor, afforded a delightful place for dancing. Music was furnished by the best players of the city. The house was beautifully decorated with flowers among which the fraternity flower, the fleur de lis, was conspicuous. An elegant supper was served during the evening. The tables were decorated with fraternity colors and flowers.
The party was one of the most extensive of the year. Fifty couples were present among whom were members of the faculty, alumni and guests from the other sororities. The Kappas are delightful entertainers and the evening will be remembered as one of the pleasantest of the school year:

A Close Game.
K. S. U. was again defeated by Baker Thursday, in a close, but not well played game. The interest however was intense throughout, as the score was tied several times. On the whole Baker put up the strongest game. K. S. U. had a chance to win several times, but failed to take the advantage offered.
The score stood 2 to 4 in favor of the University until the sixth inning when Baker made two runs and evened things up. In the eighth the clubs, were even again with eight runs apiece and the excitement was intense. Baker scored in the ninth, while K. S. U., with two men on bases and no men out, failed to get in a run and the game was lost. The cause of the defeat may be attributed in the main to the lack of practice of our team and in no small measure to its crippled condition. Simmons and Piatt were both unable to play, three men occupied entirely new positions, and one of the players had never been in a regular game before.
Had we any comments to make on K. S. U's game we would refrain from making them. Suffice it to say, that the club on the whole played like farmers and lost the game through errors and carelessness. However, Hogg, Kelsey and Kinzie played a fine game, and Alden distinguished himself at the bat. Our defeat this year was most unfortunate, but no one individual is responsible for it, as it has been impossible to get the grounds for practice. Next year we will have our own grounds and our club will have every advantage of choaching and training.
The score by innings was

History and Sociology.
The work in the department of history and sociology continues to grow both in extent and interest. The University itself is growing at a rapid rate and this department essentially comes in for its share of the increase. The studies offered there are among the best in the institution for giving thorough discipline and broad culture, as they are concerned with the present phases and conditions of society. In addition to this they are especially adapted to prepare students for the study of law, journalism and for public life.
In addition to these courses a general seminary will be held on each Friday between the hours of four and five. All the students and instructors of the department, and prominent men of the state are

What Has Been Accomplished-
The Work Next Year.
THE UNIVERSITY YEAR.
A hasty glance at the work of the University during the past year shows a remarkable and gratifying degree of progress in all lines. The development of University Extension in connection with the institution has been the most marked feature of the year. In addition to the regular courses of lectures delivered under this system, many sinlge lecturers have been given in various parts of the state by various members of the faculty. There is a growing demand on the part of people of the state for the aid of the University in cultivating a healthful educational culture. By means of this going out among the people by the instructors, there is gained an acquaintanceship between the University and the people which is mutually advantageous.
The establishment of the school of engineering one year ago and the expansion of the work in its two courses during the last year is another marked feature of 1891-92. The marvelous growth of the athletic interests is a gratifying feature of the year. In the absence of a much needed gymnasium and course of physical culture the development of field athletics and the organization of a strong athletic team has done much to stimulate a rather flagging athletic spirit in the University. It is probable that the board of regents will take some action whereby the athletic work of the coming year will be under the oversight, to a considerable extent, of a competent physical authority.
The satisfactory results obtained by Prof. F. H. Snow in his experimental work on the contagious diseases of insects has given him and the University added fame. The practical application of science, wherever met, appeals strongly to practical people, and such are the people of Kansas.
On the other hand the development of a truly scientific spirit is an integral feature in a true University. The publication of the first number of the Kansas University Quarterly, today issued, shows that this spirit is not lacking in the University of Kansas. This publication is a medium for the publication of the results of original research by members of the University. It is maintained by the University, an appropriation for its establishment having been made by the board of regents, at their last regular meeting. The number just issued is a credit to the University, and the establishment and maintenance of such a publication is a

considerable step forward along true University lines.
The addition to the instructional force in the school of music marks an era in the growth of this school. The graduating of nine students this year from this school is strong testimony to the efficiency of its energetic dean.
In all lines has the University grown. The faculty has been enlarged and strengthened; the attendance is unprecedented; enthusiasm runs high, and the work and result of the coming year are looked forward to with high expectations by all.
The remarkable advance made by the school of law the past year is

THE HOSPITAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS.
A new optional course will be offered next year in the history of the drama covering all the literatures represented in the University work. It will be given the first term, every day, and the work will be taken up by Professors Wilcox, Robinson, Dunlap, Canfield, Carruth, in turn, each department thus receiving about three weeks. The work will consist of lectures on the history and development of the drama in each literature, which seems to be missed in the present system of specialization. No knowledge of any foreign language is required, and it will therefore be a course available
the addition of Hon. S. O. Thacher, Hon. S. A. Riggs, and Judge A. W. Benson has enabled the work of the school to be considerably extended in scope. The faculty now numbers six regularly engaged instructors and lecturers. The methods of instruction are modern and thoroughly scientific. The design of the department is to furnish a complete course of legal instruction for persons intending to practice at the bar in any state of the union. For admission to the school, candidates must be prepared for examination in English, orthography, grammar and composition, and in American and general history. Graduates of colleges, normal schools, academies and high schools, or persons holding teacher's certificates are admitted without examination. Persons who have privately completed a part of the course are admitted to advanced standing in the junior class on satisfying the faculty of the school as to their qualifications. The academic year of 1892-93 will begin September 14. Special catalogues of the school of law and any information concerning the work of the school will be furnished on application to Chancellor F. H.
and very desirable for students who have had little work in literature. However, it is believed that it will be a very profitable course for any student.
GERMAN OPTIONALS.
The chief work in German for advanced students the coming year will be a course in the Literature of the Eighteenth Century, in which the entire class will read the chief works of Lessing, Goethe, and Schiller, while the lesser works of these authors, as well as other authors of of less importance, will be distributed among the members of the class for reviews, to be read in class. This will be supplemented by lectures on the literature preceding the eighteenth century and on the great movements in the century itself.
The short course in the history of German literature will be given in the fall instead of in the spring as hitherto.
mation sought for by prospective students, superintendents and principals of high schools. Any of these catalogues or bullets will be sent free on application. In addition, all letters addressed to the Chancellor of the University re questing information with regard to special phases of the University work, inquiring after the conditions of University life, etc., etc., are promptly answered.

discourse.
The speaker took as his theme the three chief characteristics of John the Baptist, his firmness in the right; his self abnegation for the right, and his faithfulness to his prophetic mission in behalf of the right. With
porsuasive and powerful thought these three characteristics were held up as models for the men of today.
Following this the speaker noted the development of the idea of moral greatness in the history of man. The failure of this development was shown in the history of the Greek and Hebrew civilization. It was pointed out that a few years ago our nation worshiped physical greatness, while today that homage is given to the intellectual traits. But this leads to overlooking the moral attributes of man. There are many people today who are morally greater than John the Baptist; people who, perhaps, occupy the lower walks of life, and yet are truly great. In closing the speaker exhorted all to join those who are endeavoring for the right and move onward in moral achievements.
"The call to moral greatness comes to all; to the ignorant as well as to the learned; to the beggar as to the millionare; to the wage worker as well as to the capitalist; each one in his place according to his ability, is commanded to press forward and climb upward till he reaches the throne of God, where Christ sits to reward the faithful and obedient."
No.37
Annual Address.
The annual address was delivered Monday night in the chapel by Rev. Myron W. Reed of Denver. Chancellor Snow in introducing the speaker said that formerly we have brought men from the east to address us but we have come to recognize that a large per cent of the brains of the nation is in the west and so we have invited a man from the Queen City of the west. The speaker said:
When I was well on my way to college the war broke out and I followed the drum. Today when I see a boy furnished with everything necessary to obtain an education except an inclination I wonder at that boy. The coarse arts are first in time. The nation until now has not had time for high and fine things. There is no more west. People must either go up or go down. We have at last an opportunity to study. We can not afford the luxury of war. We are done pioneering We are not anxious about the quantity of population; we want quality. The current has set too strongly toward material things. Money is too much considered nothing makes a country except folks.
We are after all becoming more sentimental, American travelers do homage to Burns while Scotland busies herself with her indurries. The current of travel sets toward the places of low living and high thinking.
There is nothing great in the world but man, nothing great in man but soul. Our plains are broad, our rivers long, our mountains high, what we want is great men. I do not count a man educated if he has not read the best that has been thought and said. There is a literature knowledge and a literature of power. The reports sent out by congressmen to their constituents are literature of knowledge, the story of the prodigal son is literature of power. There is no end to the making of books. We must select the best from the best. Young men and young women I congratulate you upon having so much of life before you. The old world is a discipline, the new world an opportunity.
